One of the greatest shooters in the college game I ever saw. Although he has established his own legacy and dominance playing in China, it still boggles my mind that he never panned out in the NBA considering what the NBA game has evolved to and how good a shooter he is. I know he is a liability on the defensive end, but the NBA doesn't play much defense, anyway.

I know your comment is 7 months old, but I think about that kind of a lot. Of course nothing is 100%, but that sweet 16 loss was in OT and it seems reasonable to think Davies could've made BYU at least 1 point better over those 40 minutes.

No, it wouldn't have. He might've hung around in the league, though, with better coaching. Van Vleet would've torched him in college. Van Vleet played for a top 10 college team where he couldn't just jack up shots all game long like Jimmer did at BYU. Put FVV, or most NBA PGs, on BYU and they'll put up huge numbers.

@generalkenobi5533 2 жыл бұрын

I'm convinced that there are a dozen, maybe more, franchises that could have turned Jimmer into at LEAST a very good rotation player in the NBA. He's not a worse defender than a guy like Jordan Clarkson, and he's an absolutely ridiculous scorer. But of course, he went to the Sacramento Kings, where lottery picks go to die. When a franchise has had as many "busts" as the Kings have, it's the franchise, not the players.

@VaporForce 2 жыл бұрын
