How are they going to make that guard rotation work, haha?  Holiday is great, but finding playing time for Gordon, Evans, and Jimmer, will be problematic, to say the least.  What a dynamite back court, defensively ::)

Jimmer really didnt pan out in the NBA. He really wants to be an impact player, but his skills apparently are not compatible with the needs of the NBA. Next year, I predict, he'll be in Europe.

I think this is a really good place for Jimmer. Holiday can shoot it, but Evans cannot. With Davis and Asik, they need a shooter. If Jimmer is gonna do it, nows the time.

They renounced Aminu so that they could acquire Asik and have signed John Salmons and Darius Miller, so Evans will split time between SG and SF just like he did last season.

Do not like it for Jimmer. That backcourt is too crowded already. Lots of talent there.

It'll be very difficult for him to earn playing time.

I agree.  I'd love to see Jimmer get some playing time somewhere.  I still think he can be a good rotation player on the right team and in the right system.

He couldn't find floor time in a terrible Sac Town, how will he do that in a better team? This signing is "just for last resort" type of a deal. They got him cheap, anything they get out of him will be a plus. IMHO 15 mpg, 5-7 PPG, that's it. I never liked "pure shooters"

I think Jimmer can be good in an Eddie House type role.  Hope he gets his chance in NO.
