The former BYU Basketball star appears to have moved past the possibility of playing in the NBA.

When Jimmer Fredette left BYU Basketball fans thought and hoped that he would be the first Steph Curry (since Curry wasn’t quite Curry yet). Jimmer had changed the college game and had set the college basketball world on fire.

When Jimmer got to the NBA with the Sacramento Kings, he was given such a short end of a stick that he was left with only a bunch of splinters.
