Fredette is probably not on the Spurs' long term plans but his partially guaranteed contract could get him a spot with the team on opening day.
The news about Jimmer Fredette signing a make-good contract with the Spurs was met more with disdain than anything else by the basketball world at large. After four largely disappointing seasons, the former BYU star has gone from lottery pick to camp body.
It wouldn't be surprising at all to see Jimmer waived as San Antonio's roster starts to take shape. Yet the way his contract is structured makes it a real possibility that he sticks, even if he's not in the team's long term plans.
