Ben Hansbrough=Barea

this kid is better than Jimmer and could anchor the Lakers bench for years. Great second round pick, 3pt and field goal % are awesome.

If he was better than him, he'd be a lottery pick too. Several teams see Fredette as a starting guard.

And not sure if you're comparing Ben's game to JJ or just their impact on a team. Cause their styles aren't anything alike. The closest thing to JJ in this draft is Isaiah Thomas.

Check the stats Jimmer fg% 45.2 3pt % 39.6
Ben Hansbrough 47.9 43.5

The experts don't always get it right, ask Portland.

Great article on Hansbrough and how he could help the Lakers:

Sorry to rain on the ben hansbrough parade but jimmer averaged 60 ppg while hansbrough was 15. can you imagine how tired jimmer would get? also imagine how much harder it is to score points when you're the nations top scorer and the entire defense is helping on him as opposed to a role player that probably just hits spot up j's. dont get me wrong, hansbrough would be a great selection for us if he's open. But he is not better than jimmer.

60 ppg? nice typo.
Ben Hansbrough played in the toughest conference in America, the Big East, and was voted conference player of the year. He was much more than a role player.
