Utah Jazz: Jimmer Fredette a match made in NBA Draft heaven?
Fredette is projected to be drafted anywhere from late in the lottery to late in the first round. There's as much anticipation as to where Fredette might go as there is for the some of the very high picks.
"He's the 'The Jimmer,' with quotations around it," said Duke guard Kyrie Irving, likely to be selected No. 1 by Cleveland. "He's a great player. I've never played against him, but I'm a fan of his, honestly. He's just a great shooter, a great player all-around. Just the way he led BYU this season was incredible."
After BYU's season ended March 25 with a Sweet 16 overtime loss to Florida, Fredette traveled around the country for two weeks, receiving his various awards for National Player of the Year. He then began workouts in preparation for the draft, enlisting the help of former Arizona star and NBA guard Miles Simon and strength and conditioning coach Lee Taft, Fredette's uncle.
"My expectations are to be able to get a right fit, wherever it might be," Fredette said of his draft prospects. "I just want to get picked in the right situation."
As far as Fredette is concerned, the Jazz would be the right situation.

The best thing about the internet is you don't have to look at these Jimmer articles everyday. Navigate away from Jimmermania if you want.
If we pick up Williams or Enes Kanter with the 3rd pick, expect Jimmermania to More..
Williams shooting ability was more important than his average defensive ability. His passing ability and basket ball knowledge made him a great PG but his ability to hit 3 opened up the inside so Brewer could slash and the bigs could operate.

There is a good possibility MIL takes him at 10. I am glad Jimmer made the comparison to DWill. That was not an idle slip. There are a lot of similarities.
I watched Jimmer's interview. The right side (left brain) of his face was happy, More..
