Jimmer More Talented Offensively Than Olajuwon & Drexler?

BYU Head Coach Dave Rose has played with and coached some pretty talented players throughout his basketball career.  Most recently he’s coached the 2011 National Player of the Year Jimmer Fredette and was a member of the Phi Slamma Jamma teams that featured Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. So where does he rank Fredette?  According to an interview with the ESPN Sacramento Kings blog, right at the top. From Cowbell Kingdom: “Well, I think he’s the best offensive player that has ever been on my team, either as a player or a coach, as far as his ability to just make big shots and kind of will your team out of spots during the game.”

    Wow a better scorer then Drexler or Hakeem? that might be true in terms of sheer numbers(college numbers) but its easy to make that call when the whole offense is centered around you. How did BYU do in the tourney anyway? I think Dream and Drexler’s teams were in back to back final 4′s in the 80′s…As for NBA “scoring” success, I’m going to go out on a limb and saying Jimmy will never put up the scoring numbers of either of those two Hall of Famers..I’m curious to see what position Jimmy plays when he enters the NBA, and if his game will translate to success when he gets there….Better than Hakeeen and Clyde?…wow.
