Jimmer Fredette

It wasn't very long ago that Fredette was draining shots from 35 feet out in the NCAA tournament. Now, he looks to be a long shot to gain valuable minutes on any team. Fredette was in need of new scenery after last season, where he averaged 3.6 points, 0.2 three-pointers, 0.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 0.3 steals in 10 minutes per contest through 50 games. Fredette is a victim of his small stature. He plays like a shooting guard but barely has the size to play poitn guard in the NBA. With the Pelicans last season, when starting point guard Jrue Holiday suffered a season-ending leg injury, Tyreke Evans was moved to the point, and the Pelicans acquired Norris Cole and Toney Douglas to backup Evans ahead of Fredette. His efficiency was at an all-time low in 2014-15, shooting 38 percent from the field, and 19 percent from three, which is the most reputable facet of Fredette's game other than his 96 percent free throw shooting. The Spurs are willing to give Fredette a shot at salvaging his NBA career, though it will not be easy as he will have to share minutes with Tony Parker, Patty Mills, and Ray McCallum at point. Unless he is used as a shooting specialist on one of the deepest teams in the league, it will be very hard for Fredette to gain a foothold on the Spurs this season as they chase the Larry O'Brien trophy. Ultimately, he may not even make the team, as Fredette's contract is non-guaranteed.
