Yeah they need to stop fronting and bring him up. There has to be a reason he hasn't had a chance so far based on how he has been playing in the triangle for the D league knicks.

He did what he is supposed to for a look. He deserves the chance to show what he can or can't do...Period. IF he does well great...If not he is off our radar we tried. It won't hurt to take a look.

As bad as our guards have been playing it would be a crime to not bring this kid up. Couldn't have happened at a better time.

The Knicks are playing with my emotions. They need to give Jimmer a chance. He has been surprising me with awesome passes like the new and improved Melo.
nixluva@ 2/13/2016 5:31 PM
I suspect that if no trade is made they will bring up Jimmer. It's all been about keeping options for a trade open. I'm sure they have Jimmer high on the list of call ups.

Exactly....I can understand if we didn't have a need,but we do. You our back court is horrendous

That's a good point. Maybe Jimmer finally is ready for nba ball. He still has the question marks but he does deserve another shot. I think the triangle is perfect for him because his biggest knock is being able to play team ball. Running a system can disguise his short comings on offense and maximize his positives.
5 days left till the deadline is over

IDK can at least take sashas minutes, but does scoring 35 points in a game no one plays defense at all, a measuring stick. He can get a 10 day contract by 29 other teams, and no ones calling

To me Sasha is NOT the he problem. Jose? Yes

The odds of making the payoffs 6 games out with 25 games to go has to be less than 10% Why not give Jimmer a chance his play has earned it
fitzfarm@ 2/13/2016 7:40 PM
That fact that we have a guard that can play like that in our dleague. When none of our guards could ever put a display like that on even with zero defense ... Jimmer plays like curry, style wise hitting transition 3s with ease, Good handles, pretty good court vision.. He was in really bad situations in the NBA.. Being a rookie for a dreadful sac team who wanted him to play the 2, he is not a shooting guard .
He is a pg who can create for himself and his teammates, can any of our guards do that ? He should be on the team after the deadline.
SocraticBallin22@ 2/13/2016 7:47 PM
Umm...I believe I started a threat two days ago stating that if Jimmer played Jose's minutes, he would average 15 per and be productive. I hope we sign him after the trade deadline before another team does. I have a feeling this game will draw interest from other teams. Hopefully it's not too late.

I think he'll draw interest but I don't think anyone is signing a dleague player till after the deadline ... At least I hope

Just to be accurate, the Knicks are 5 games out and there are 27 games left, but regardless, Jimmer may get his shot after the Deadline. I think that's the only thing holding the Knicks back from adding a guard at this point. Not saying Jimmer is a lock but they will fill that empty spot with some guard after the Deadline IMO.

How is Lin different than fredette? They appear to be similar talents. They are both slow and trigger happy
