Go figure...
Quite simple. Davies has gotten regular minutes and opportunity and has taken full advatange of them.

Jimmer minutes very early in career then had a coaching change and the guy behind him was given those minutes and took full advantage of them.

Then everyone has bought the theme that Jimmer can't play lock-down defense on everyone in the NBA so therefore his shot making ability - which could help his teams - is secondary to the fact that Jimmer isn't an all-NBA defender.
No question Jimmer has gotten shafted. Hope he can see some significant minutes while Pelican.

Just think it's ironic that a prospect many thought wasn't good enough to play in the NBA is now starting and getting more minutes than the player everyone expected to shine.

Jimmer going 0 - 6 during his first game as a Pelican didn't help, especially after the great preseason he had.

Jimmer had a pretty good preseason and was productive in his games. The fact that he went cold for one night and the coach took him to 3 min and then a DNP is discouraging, especially with how bad the other guards on the team are playing/shooting.


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,
