I have no cogent basketball thoughts other than....

Wow, Lesley Visser has gotten OLD.

Oh...Eastern Illinois. They contacted me. I didn't take the entrance exam because I had 64 crayons instead of 3. But I loved going through Central Illinois. Watching people on bad cooked up Tide is the best.

Jimmer! Holy shit. BYU just stormed back.

Im pretty hammered right now.

How tall is Jimmer? He's got handles and can shoot. Probably would need to be a point
if he is short.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

I see him being a really good 6th man for a team, a guy who can come in and provide some instant offense for a few stretches during the game and who will hit some big shots at the end of a game.

Strengths: A prolific scorer who has developing point guard skills ... Has tremendous shooting ability. It's the aspect of his game that will undeniably get him serious looks from the NBA level ... An extremely effective player who understands shot selection and taking what the defense gives him ... Has a solid first step and the ability to blow by defenders and get into the paint ... Shows very good vision and passing ability, particularly driving and dishing the ball ... Very patient passer, never rushes his decisions allowing openings to materialize ... Has great speed and quickness for a mid-major player ... Has a strong frame with excellent strength that he puts to good use as he's not afraid of contact ... Very tough both mentally and physically. A competitor who will battle tooth and nail and wants the big shots at the end of games ... Has great accuracy shooting the ball and range. He is highly proficient at creating shots for himself, with a very quick release and use of change of direction ... Equally effective at isolating on opponents and spotting up for shots ... Has a quick release: He takes very little time to get the ball under his elbow and away, and squares to the basket in rhythm in a blink of an eye ... Has good finishing ability with touch while on the move ... Offensively there are few holes to his game ... An extremely hard worker. His conditioning sets him apart from the competition and allows him to shoot the ball incredibly well at the end of games ...

Weaknesses: Fredette lacks the athleticism of the average NBA point guard. However, being such a tremendous shooter helps offset some of his athletic shortcomings, in terms of making it in the league ... Not a natural point guard but is developing his skills. He came into college as a shooting guard but has steadily developed his point guard abilities and decision making ... His ball handling ability is efficient but lacks flash ... Lacks the athleticism to finish at the rim but is creative at finding ways to score on drives using floaters ... His speed is very good at the college level, but there are question marks about his ability to do the same things against NBA level athletes ... Will his lateral foot speed be a liability? Will he be able to create shots for himself against longer and more athletic opponents?

Jay Bilas tweet:
"Jimmer a great college player, but he couldn't guard a bank with a machine gun."

Pretty accurate. He strikes me as the next Stephon Curry.

I said it when these seedings came out and I'll say it again, a few conference losses aren't that big of a deal - regardless of conference strength. Those teams know you better than anyone. Butler as an 8 seed is a joke, even if they lose tonight.

I think he'll be better. I really liked Curry out of college too.

It doesn't always have to come down to computer bullshit and stats.

I didn't say a single thing about computers or stats. Reading = skill.
