Asik will prove to hide many of our backcourts defensive weaknesses... that is why jimmer will see the court a lot this year, forget the comparisons, forget everything you saw before he got here. we have a different team and a different midset to employ when it comes to jimmers game. hes a better shooter than morrow is, and btw morrow before last year was thought to not even be able to get a job in this league anymore.. the same thing will happen with jimmer. He'll earn himself a four year deal with someone after this season. hopefully we can get him to stay... that being said.... gordons contract will go a long way into doing just that. keeping him...
