Sebastian Pruiti, in his debut post on DraftExpress, takes a look at the strengths and weaknesses of Jimmer Fredette , with the help of BYU game-film from this past season.
Jimmer Fredette is the No. What is very much under dispute is how that success will translate to the NBA level, a dispute that has resulted in an infinite amount of articles, tweets, blog entries, TV segments and debates around the water cooler. Fredette's skill level is incredibly high, as evidenced not only by his production, but also the way he gets baskets. He's an excellent ball handler who is capable of dribbling with either hand and is very adept at splitting screens.
And he's as shifty as they come, given his ability to play at different speeds. Fredette shows excellent quickness, outstanding footwork and incredible creativity with the ball in his hands.
He creates space to operate about as well as any guard in college basketball not named Kemba Walker , and he is a more complete scorer than Walker in terms of his offensive polish. His best asset is clearly his shooting ability, which borders on outrageous when it comes to the difficulty of shots he is capable of making.
Fredette's range extends well beyond the NBA 3-point line. Unlike most shooters, however, he's just as effective making off-the-dribble jumpers as he is with his feet set. He elevates high off the ground, squaring his shoulders instantaneously and balancing himself perfectly in mid-air.
He's capable of pulling up on a dime from unbelievable distances with his lightning quick release. He has supreme confidence in his shooting ability, taking jumpers that would be viewed as absolutely horrendous if attempted by anyone else.
For him these are good looks, though, as evidenced by the rate he converts these off-balance, contested to foot attempts. Fredette shows little emotion throughout the game, except when occasionally working the officials or expressing mild disappointment in missing an impossible shot by clapping his hands together.
He's never rattled, even in the most pressure-packed moments of an intense game, showing a cool and calm demeanor at all times. This bodes well for his transition to the next level. Fredette is much more than just an outside shooter, though.
He also gets to the free throw line at a nice rate 7. His pull-up jumper translates well to the mid-range area, and he has a very strong frame and outstanding touch, which he uses to finish around the basket, often utilizing the glass in impressive fashion.
Despite his ability to convert circus shots in the paint, there is some concern about how effective a finisher Fredette will be around the rim in the NBA because he's not a particularly explosive leaper. Teams with strong help-side defenses can throw him off somewhat with long and athletic big men inside the paint, which is something to keep an eye on for the future. Another question mark about Fredette revolves around the role he'll play at the next level.
He's able to operate with unlimited freedom as the end-all, be-all solution in BYU's offense, but he's not a particularly prolific passer. Amongst the 19 point guards currently in our Top Prospect rankings, Fredette rates toward the bottom in both assist to turnover ratio and Pure Point Rating. Fredette plays mostly off the ball in BYU's half-court offense and unselfishly shows the ability to get teammates involved. He has a high basketball IQ and displays terrific creativity.
When he has the ball in his hands, he's first and foremost looking to score, though; something that has been the case throughout his college career. With more talented teammates alongside him in the NBA, Fredette will probably need to alter his game somewhat, something it seems he's capable of doing. The biggest concern about Fredette's transition to the NBA clearly lies on the defensive end.
