Former BYU star guard Jimmer Fredette’s NBA career certainly hasn’t been worthy of him being selected 10th overall in the 2011 NBA draft, a topic delved into in a piece by Basketball Insiders’ Alex Kennedy.
Kennedy focuses on Fredette’s shooting struggles and challenges on defense as reasons his career hasn’t launched.
“This is the first year of Fredette’s career in which he’s made less than $2 million (since he was on his rookie-scale contract), but that kind of sums up how his career has gone to this point,” Kennedy writes, noting the one-year, $947,246 partially guaranteed contract Fredette signed with the San Antonio Spurs last month.
