Can Jimmer prove himself on the big stage?
To say that Jimmer Fredette, one of the most naturally gifted scorers to ever pick up a basketball, struggled in his NBA career is an understatement.
But he hasn’t lost sights on returning to the NBA. After spending the last two seasons balling out in China, Fredette wants one more shot at the big time.
Via Bryan Kalbrosky of HoopsHype:
“I want to have another opportunity in the NBA because there is some unfinished business for me there. After this season is over, I want another NBA chance. This time, I’ll succeed. I feel really good about how I am playing. I know that if I get a chance, I will take advantage of it and be successful and help a team win.”
Fredette, 29, is currently playing for the Shanghai Sharks in the Chinese Basketball Association after having a stint with the Knicks in 2016. The former 10th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft is averaging 37.4 points per game in the CBA.
