There's been talk lately of fans who wan the Jazz to use a round pick on The Jimmer.

The Jazz are in serious need of an outside threat with Memo on the bench, Raja Bell shooting little better than the late Manute Bol from outside, Korver lighting it up in Chicago instead of Utah, Wes Matthews lighting it up in Portland instead of Utah, and with a new point guard who doesn't even shoot the trey as well as D-Will did.

Most good teams have two or three good three-point shooters. The Jazz have only one great three-point shooter right now. In a surprise to the many fans who booed the Jazz for selecting a white player in last year's draft, Gordon Hayward ended up shooting 47.3 percent from three-point range. That was good enough for second best in the league among players who attempted at least 50 treys.

So, yes, bring in The Jimmer or even former Aggie Jaycee Carroll, who has been nicknamed Boom Boom in his European league, which he has led in scoring for four straight years, according to a crawl on the Jazz broadcast last night. Look up Jaycee on wikipedia or youtube to see all the honors he won in college, and yet he has been overlooked in the pros, probably because of the stereotype that white guys are slow and not very athletic. And yet he has a 40-inch vertical leap.

Keep in mind that DeRozan impressed the pros in the combine when he was measured at 38.5 inches. Unfortunately, after Boom Boom wowed the scouts in the summer leagues, making the second team in the New Jersey games, he was bypassed by the Jazz because they already had a 6'2" guard with a 40-inch leap in Ronnie Price.

Ronnie, however, is a poor outside shooter. He is a great defender, however, which is curious because the main question about him as he left college as the No. 1 scorer in the country was his defense. Jimmer's defensive skills also are unknown.

Jimmer already has spoken of the paleface stereotype and knows he will face an uphill battle. He can't sky as well as the Wyoming Squirrel, but his vertical leap is 36 inches. I've watched him carefully on defense, and when he needs to stay in front of his opponent, he does well. I think Coach Rose was happy just to have him play solid position defense rather than risk getting in foul trouble.

And Jimmer is a good passer. Does anybody know that Jimmer finished third career assists in the Mountain West Conference? I don't think Tre'Von Willis noticed. He said Jimmer "wants to score every single time" and that "he don't want to get no assists," which is in a way is correct when you think about it long enough. We don't need no double negatives.

And I hardly don't think we don't need no quintuple negatives, neither.
