NBA Draft and Jimmer Fredette


NBA Draft and Jimmer Fredette: The Sacramento Kings picked Jimmer Fredette of BYU with the No. 10 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Jimmer is ridiculously popular just about eveywhere, and figures to act in a three-guard rotation with Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thornton. Both Brandon Knight and Kemba Walker lasted to the No. Seven pick, but went back-to-back at No. 8 (Detroit Pistons) and No. Nine (Charlotte Bobcats), leaving Jimmer to Sacramento. Knight ended a run of 5 straight international actors running from No. 3 (Enes Kanter) to No. 7 (Bismack Biyombo). Before on Thursday, the Kings traded their No. Seven pick to the Milwaukee Bucks along with Beno Udrih in exchange for No. 10 and good ol' John Salmons. Salmons is due $25 million over the next 3 seasons. Udrih was due $14 million over two years. The No. 10 is also typically less valuable than the No. 7 pick. The Kings next pick at No. 35. That pick should come down around 7:30 Pacific.Jimmer Fredette .NBA Draft and Jimmer Fredette
