re: Will Jimmer Fredette be drafted lower because he is white?

this. If he is drafted lower, it will be because he is basically JJ Redick

Lazy comparison. They are distinctly different players.

Redick is a true shooting guard. He played most of his college career away from the ball coming off screens to get his open shots. He isn't much of a ballhandler. He is a pure shooter.

Fredette is a combo guard. He can play point and shooting guard, although I think he will play the 2 more in the NBA. He is a much better ballhandler and shooter off the dribble than Redick. He played most of his college career with the ball in his hands, creating his own shot. He is also a better finisher around the goal.

Fredette is much more like Steph Curry than JJ Redick.
