Ford on today's NYK workout:

“Sounds like it was [Klay] Thompson-Jimmer that stood out. Both shot the lights out I’m told. No surprise there.” – Link

“Some very good decisions in 2-on-2 by both Jimmer and [Darius] Morris. They think Jimmer has bball IQ to be a PG in the NBA.” – Link

“Knicks very positive on all 4 players (Brooks, Fredette, D. Morris, K. Thompson). Sounds like it was a very good workout. Brooks very aggressive getting to the rim.” – Link

“Jimmer said the Kings at 7th would be his ‘stretch team.’ Although no workouts scheduled, what about MIL (10th) and GS (11th)?…” - Link

What does that mean?

Hethinks it’s as low as he will/can go?

What does he mean by "stretch team?"

Or -

I’m hoping to get into Heald, Sac. State is my stretch school, American River is my safety school.

Drafting him at #7 would be a stretch.

That is an impressive (and probably accurate) assessment by himself.

It shows he knows who he is. And that is a good starting point at getting better.

The more I hear about this Jimmer kid holding his own in workouts

The more I think we should draft him.

Worst case, he’s a situational shooter – which at 7, I know is a reach, but in a weak draft, and on a team where outside shooting is a major issue for us, its not as big a reach as you think.

Best case, he’s Steph Curry, version 2. Pairing him with Tyreke and Demarcus suddenly stretches the D and opens up the insde for our two studs. We can bring Thorton off the bench or even go small with sliding Reke to the 3 and we are pretty dangerous team.

If you would’ve told me I would have this opinion a month ago I would’ve tried to commit you…

fredette has moved to 3rd ahead of Walker on my PG list

The man’s first name is Jimmer
and his last name is Fredette? What is that if its not a female Fred?

I would like to thank all of you for the outpouring of support during my time of need. I proudly, and with great relief, announce that my C is now working on my laptop and any errors from now on are due to my inabilty to proofread. I use to proofread my stuff, but it began lowering my self esteem,
I have found it hard to sound intelligent if I think while I key. So in summary ; the worse the keying the smarter my comment. The proceeds from the HereWeFixTheC car wash have been forwarded to HereWeBuild . Thanks.
