[1.21.12] Jimmer Fredette - 20 Points (6 Assists) Vs Grizzlies (Complete Highlights)

[Francozilla]

Jimmer is a really good player playing on the WRONG TEAM. Black coach, only white guy on team, with several other guards like Evans and Thomas ahead of him. Teams in need of point guards like the Lakers or Jazz, or coaches like D'antoni, Adelman, Gentry would give Jimmer lots of playing opportunities. Jeremy Lin and Ricky are in fact lucky to play for coaches like D'antoni and Adelman.

[inolover5]

would be useful overseas. I love Jimmer but he isn't NBA level and I knew it from the start.

[CouchMonst3r]

BYUALLBALL is a Jimmer Jock Rider.

[BoobLover739]

i love jimmers shot..... i wish i could learn to do it.cant wait to see some of these guys in the nba. keep it up

[FavreianVengeance]

I had a dream that Jimmer was starting, getting 42 minutes and filling up the stat sheet while leading the Kings to wins. Then I woke up to the nightmare that is the Kings organization.

[antvick]

@officialyungace A rookie is struggling in the first half of a shortened rookie season? What a shocker. He was drafted to be an off the bench scorer. He has proved that he can do that, he just needs to get more comfortable and consistent, something that most rookies take a little while to do. Plus, he didn't have a normal training camp because of the lockout. You might want to brush up only your basketball, dumbass.

[officialyungace]

Draft bust

[antvick]

@officialyungace lol. what an idiot you are.

[officialyungace]

@antvick look at his stats and minutes dumbass.

[mikeycknowsrnb2]

get him to the knicks suns or magic. he can do well on a team with open offense and who rely on the 3 ball. idk how rookie contracts work but if the next season the knicks get him then they really need to do that. in the right system that 3 ball will be amazing.

[myelmovoicerocks]

keith dumb is not very smart.....

[dashortgamer]

@myelmovoicerocks I see what you did there

[espben360]

i really think team needs a spark. im not saying they gotta al of a sudden play JF for 30 minutes. but ithink he needs more playing time to get his feet wet. he will get the D with expirence

[CouchMonst3r]

HE HAS NO DEFENSE! That's why he sits the bench.

[stevenjaypark]

@CouchMonst3r The Kings are 30th in the league in points allowed per game. I'm pretty sure the limited minutes Jimmer plays aren't causing that... The whole team sucks on defense.

[CouchMonst3r]

@stevenjaypark Ya true...Jimmer just adds insult to injury to their terrible defense. Besides Isiah Thomas is better than Jimmer at this point.

[stevenjaypark]

@CouchMonst3r Isaiah is getting a lot more playing time now and fits better with the Kings. Jimmer does best when he's getting his shots in, but there's not enough shots to go around between Evans and Thornton and Fredette

[CouchMonst3r]

@stevenjaypark Honestly Jimmer is over rated. He's a great shooter and that's it. He's like a shorter version of J.J. Redick. Great in college but not so great in the NBA.

[runtcm]

@CouchMonst3r Not a very good comparison. First off, Redick is a very good player off the bench for the Magic, but their games aren't even remotely similar. Jimmer can handle the ball something Redick has never been known for.

[CouchMonst3r]

@runtcm Jimmer has poor ball handling skills as an NBA guard. I watch every Kings game not just the highlights on youtube or espn. He has trouble getting into the offense when he has any pressure on him. If it wasn't for Isiah Thomas this year the draft by the Kings would have been a total bust. Jimmer was their first pick and hes playing like he should have been picked last. I think Jimmer was picked to sell tickets and jerseys because he has a colt following. He can shoot and thats it.

[BYUALLBALL]

@CouchMonst3r Look at the steal little man

[CouchMonst3r]

@BYUALLBALL I can tell by your profile name you're going to be all over Jimmer's jock no matter what. You guys are like a danm colt! I like Jimmer but his defense is really poor. He gets one steal and you think that's impressive? Isiah Thomas gets at least one steal a game. Isiah is better that Jimmer! Jimmer was not a good first round pick...he plays more like a second round pick and Isiah Thomas plays like a first round pick. Look up rookie standings at this point Thomas is ranked 4th.

[josue679]

@CouchMonst3r No one has defense at the kings lool thats why they get pwned every game

[CouchMonst3r]

I'm a Kings fan and have been since 1998. I watched every game and Jimmer needs to work on his defense if wants to get a lot of minutes. He gets burned constantly by bigger faster guards. He's a great shooter and an okay passer but he'll have to get better at defense before getting more playing time than Isiah Thomas. Jimmer has a huge colt following and people think he's the best player in the draft. I believe he could be great some day just not this season.

[chrisdofer320]

None of you guys are Kings fans, watching games night in and night out, You guys need to shut up. The way Jimmer is playing this season should not be rewarded with a starting spot. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait until he gets the confidence in his game and is raining down shots, but you guys need to watch games before you make suggestions on how to run the team or something.

[themaltman34]

@chrisdofer320 I don't think he should be starting, or even getting many minutes on the Kings. But I think the Kings are retarded for drafting him when they were gonna take Isaiah Thomas, who I could have told you is going to be a better immediate pointguard. Jimmer doesn't fit in the system he's in, and just isn't a match for the team he plays for. I think it was a stupid draft pick by the kings.

[eholes7]

@chrisdofer320 im not a kings fan but im a jimmer fan and i agree with you. hes not playing to hot, but he has potential, this game is obvious proof. but yea tyreke and marcus thorton should start at guard, and isaiah thomas is really outplaying jimmer right now. im a bucks fan, so i do think jimmer is better than salmons. not a big fan of salmons tho haha

[d4liife]

@chrisdofer320 WRONG. Coach "smart" hates Fredette. He has been jerking Fredette arouns ALL year. Whenever Fredtte gets hoe 'smart' sits him.. Lat night agaisnt the clipper 11 pts 3 assists 2 rebound in 12 min..Its a freakin disgrace. This kid is the best all around player on this team..Make's Everybody on the floor better, throws nash-like passes on a consistent basis and can score like nobody on the planet. His defense aint great but average better than a Lot of other players on the Kings..

[d4liife]

@chrisdofer320 I DO watch night in & night out.. Fredette is always on a short leash while Isaiah who I like, is allowed to make mistakes.Jimmer was on FIRE last night and 'smart' sat him down AGAIN. This is as bad as what he did to another Great player all last year in Gldn State. Had a kid who, was the best player on the team,buried at the tail end of the bench..ALL YEAR Dont tell me Jeremy Lin all of a sudden became a fantastic point guard in the off season-"smart' is a HATER EXTRAORDINAIRE .

[misael1816]

@d4liife truth is smart is racist hates white people

[AlexD0e]

@d4liife Good point, he's a great player but a bad fit for that team. That's why they are finding trouble giving him more minutes. He should be in the starting line-up for another team. Suns maybe??? LOL =)

[BYUALLBALL]

@chrisdofer320 Who said we were Kings fans? We follow them enough to know that Smart is not doing a good job

[CouchMonst3r]

@BYUALLBALL No you follow Fredette highlights on you Tube ! If you followed more you would know that Jimmer isn't that good at this point.

[MakeItRainman3]

Coach needs to let Jimmer make it rain

[MyFitJourney]

@mgrealdeals you just said he will be elite now your saying he is elite I was asking of the non rookies who you feel is an elite player?

[mgrealdeals]

@MyFitJourney Dolph Schayes

[ndnflava]

questions: was jimmer not playing the first half?

[MyFitJourney]

@mgrealdeals who do you consider and Elite NBA player right now @ the moment?

[mgrealdeals]

@MyFitJourney Jimmer Fredette

[mikebleaz]

He is improving really well!

[BornAgainstMormons]

Jimmer.

[Blaiyan]

I thought he just played like this in 2K12. Hmmm... looking like a superstar already. I agree with starting him at point and evans at SG.

[AJVersatility19]

@Blaiyan Evans at PG, Jimmer at SG would be much better. Jimmer can actually shoot, are you telling me it's a good idea to have Jimmer handle the ball and Evans, who can't shoot, play off ball? It's simple basketball, it will not work that way. The way it's going right now Jimmer has no fit in SAC. They already have a PG and back-up in Evans and Thomas. SG/SF combo with Salmons and Thornton. He can't start on this team.

[boxie1012]

fuuuuuuuuuuucking killed it mate

[TSuriyan72]

Jimmer isn't underrated he's overrated. For being the biggest hype in the draft and performing at a mediocre level is called being overrated not underrated lol.

[patriots378]

@TSuriyan72 biggest hype in the draft? im not sure which draft you were watching, but everyone was saying he wouldn't be able to play well in the NBA and wasn't athletic enough to run the point or play good D

[sootandstars]

@TSuriyan72 If he was the biggest hype in the draft he'd have gone 1st. He was rightly lauded for his play in college.

[Chinasawr]

@TSuriyan72 seriously, everyone's on his nuts cause he was a star in BYU. hes had plenty of opportunities to shine but always ends up choking with the ball.

[DaColaKid]

Jimmer Fredette is on fire!!!!!! that dude is killing me lol

[patriots378]

for some reason i like watching him play more than anyone else in the nba

[Crossover3469]

Jimmer is beast

[TheFootyfan13]

'TURN THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM ON JIMMER FREDETTE IS ON FIRE!' lol

[WheresTheCheet]

He's not the fastest and not the most athletic but my god can he play ball

[byufan2489]

What I think jimmer's problem is just culture shock. He is used to playing for a team where it's not about winning basketball games, it was about spreading the lds religion. Also all of the byu players were more mature than average for their age. So coming into the nba where all its about is winning and money is new for him. I would almost garuntee that the young 20 something's of the kings are really immature compared to byu players.

[kr0nz]

This is just the beginning..

[SnipemareTV]

He needs to get traded to a team that will give him the minutes he deserves. I wouldn't wanna be playing with Cousins anyways lol

[Cougamanchase555]

Jimmer just scored 19 points tonight with 

5-8 three point shooting just to let you guys know :)

[4emmyd]

Can't wait to see Jimmer this Saturday in Salt Lake!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrPipila10]

Jimmer Range. They should make a new line in NBA.

[916myspacefreak]

I love the kings, and jimmer, but we should just trade him for another player cause we never even use him..despite all his talent and skill lol

[tashoa]

@916myspacefreak You better so that he can go to a team where he deserves to be with right playing time and right teammates

[xH2OxLEGENDXERO]

The Return of Mike Bibby

[TheXG3]

If he Gets the playing time He can be Rookie of the year

[Enox916]

that was sick! good stuff jimmer

[azninvazno8]

Jimmer needs to learn how to play some defense. His offense is great already

[danlynch3]

@azninvazno8 He knows how to but if he gets too aggressive he'll have alot of fouls

[imaxman1]

I believe in jimmer, he just needs more confidence in his game like this one. I have no doubt that he will become great in a couple years!

[BYUALLBALL]

Jimmer with 15 points in one quarter! He needs to do that all night long though.....

[rogertherabit67]

kings suck, they have a bunch of wannabes on their team. pass the freaking ball.

[rchaser4]

Thanks for posting this

[danlynch3]

I've been watching couple of kings game this game he's doin his High jumpshots in the other games he was only using his set shots.

[ch1ld1shGambino]

Turn the sprinkler system on cuz Jimmer Fredette is on fire! lol

[CCSCougars33]

People are riding jimmer so hard. I thought I was a big fan. Holy crap. Chill out. Give him time, but don't act like he's Jordan or kobe. RELAX. Hop off. Just let him play. Good or bad.

[mgrealdeals]

Jimmer will be an Elite NBA player. He is underrated and simply hasn't got the minutes to get in his groove.I dont know whos running things in Sacramento but they are basketball IDIOTS. They have had Fredette on the bench for half of the game the past couple of weeks. His Teammates are ballhogs and seem to intentionally freeze him out.Yet Jimmer just keeps playing great team basketball. JF WILL BLOW UP !

[cowboyzkingz35]

@mgrealdeals he was benched because he has been struggling offensively and especialy defencively. I think this game will help his confidence big time!

[Patchooy]

@mgrealdeals i agree with you, but for one thing, some coaches tends to give less minutes to new guys(that have talent) and slowly increase their time play. why? so the player will actually see the improvement on himself, will slowly get better. what if they make him play 48 minutes his first NBA game and had 2 pts, 1 rbd, 1 assist, 24 turnovers? he will just feel down and wont even try anymore. but give him a few years, he'll be one of the top players of his era.

[YelIowMamba]

@mgrealdeals jimmer will never be an elite player. Try to guess his field goal percentage right now...40? 38? nope.... he shoots 36%!!! that's not elite, thats not great, not good, not ok, not average, not bad... thats horrible. No wonder he sits on the bench

[mgrealdeals]

@YelIowMamba Shooting %50 the past 3 games...More than elite... because he was kept in long enough to get his rhythm ... He has NO difficulty getting his shot off...... and now he is starting and he is obviously the best player on this team... Sorry...

Jimmer is the Real Deal and is just beginning to shine...

[MSHkr]

@mgrealdeals -- I agree, he's definitely improving. He's an excellent passer who didn't have to pass much in college. His assists will go up as his minutes do. He's holding his own defensively, and, as everyone knows -- his shooting range is unreal. His opponents are also learning that he can score around the hoop when guarded. I think he'll develop (quickly) into a force to be reckoned with.

[ChickenConPolloHD]

@YelIowMamba Did you forget he is a rookie? Haha

[MSHkr]

@YelIowMamba -- A silly comment, for sure. It's WAY too early to tell whether Jimmer will be an elite player or not. He's gone from being the WHOLE offense for a team, creating his own shot a whopping 75% of the time, while being double or triple teamed -- to running things, distributing the ball, and shooting when he's open. He'll develop into an fine point guard, and you sure can't deny the guy's range -- WOW! His numbers will go up as he adapts and gets more playing time. Elite? Maybe.

[danlynch3]

@YelIowMamba He's a rookie all rookies has this kinda start but when they get used to the nba game.. they'll have the chance to be elite players. lol think before you prejudge a player

[delez24]

@mgrealdeals his "Ballhog" teammates just beat the blazers while jimmer was filling out a healthy scratch

[MrTrollSwag]

@mgrealdeals to me he'll be a mike bibby kinda player great three point shooter and can distribute. and he has alot more range too which makes him even more deadly. i seriously dont get why hes on the bench either. they have terrible management and dont have the players in the right mind set.

[AJVersatility19]

@MrTrollSwag He's on the bench. They're winning. What's there to get? If they go on like a 5+ game losing streak, then yea it's time to find minutes for Jimmer, but for now it's really not a mystery why he's on the bench.

[cjdean9]

1:26 This is the most underrated aspect of his game. he did this all the time in college with players like Derrick Williams and Kawaii Leonard down low but no one seems to realize he can do this.

[mgrealdeals]

@cjdean9 I agree. He is an Excellent penetrator and can blow by any human off the dribble. Once he gets his confidence (and the coach lets him play his game without yanking him to the bench) he is going to be the best scorer in the league.

[CapTnClas]

@mgrealdeals i am a jimmer fan but i highly doubt he'll be the BEST scorer in the league. He's a rookie and he still needs a lot of experience before that happens. Just voicing my opinion.

[file2hd6026]

@mgrealdeals

haha your an idiot. JEREMY LIN. enuff said, jimmer is an overrated cocksucker and will fade away like reggie bush barley manging to get PT on the special teams.

[CouchMonst3r]

@mgrealdeals He definitely won't be the best scorer in the league. Kevin Durant,Lebron James,Kobe Bryant,Dwayne Wade,Dirk Nowitzki, I can keep going. He get's put on the bench because Isiah Thomas is better than Jimmer. Don't get me wrong I think Jimmer is good but, to go as far as to say he can be the best scorer in the league is just way too far fetched to believe.

[cjdean9]

LMAO at the announcer

[boojustin5502]

Jimmer, we know you're great. Don't forget it. You are the best player on that team.

[corhnman5k]

GET JIMMERED!

[MrIzzybaby94]

All he had to do was get his confidence

[mattjuddsnakes104]

Top scorer for this game! Hopefully the coaching staff begin playing Jimmer more often, then we'll see crazy results. Thanks for these videos.

[cuadfromts]

the only highlight in this video is 1:25

[mikeballa2001]

The Jimmer

[Rosebulls1beast]

His best game. Keep it up Jimmer

[StiffyLuvsYou]

@Thoreaunius he actually has a pretty ugly shot when hes playing. its weird his game shot is way different then his shot in practice. but hey, it dont matter if its going in!

[gbinct]

Definitely his best game as a pro..... great to see.

[FavreianVengeance]

If the Kings were smart, they'd give him 35-40 minutes a game and let him develop.

[danlynch3]

@FavreianVengeance Yep Yahh right dude

[darkenlight22]

Jimm3rder she wrote.

[GForce1319]

best game so far

[Thoreaunius]

cleanest touch ive ever seen, which probably isnt saying much for me imo but his shots hit every part of that net for that crisp, mic'ed swoosh

[MistaRobotto]

this better be the start of something

[Smokehn12]

Splashhhhhhh

[darkenlight22]

Jimm3r is NBN "Nothing but net" He should change his name too Swish Fr3d3tt3.

[gilless429]

@darkenlight22 Or Splash Fredette. Sounds good too.

[NyQuiiLx]

He's slowly learning how to play the point and they can slide tyreke over to the 2

[danlynch3]

@NyQuiiLx Yea :))

[gbinct]

@NyQuiiLx I hope, but do you think they'll start him over Thornton?

[exzacklyright]

If only he didn't miss 8 shots :[

[danlynch3]

@exzacklyright everybody misses LOL kemba's shooting is kinda worse than this

[basicrc]

that's what i like to see jimmer!
