Another Jimmer Fredette in Provo?

By Joe Kaiser

Truthfully, there may never be another Jimmer Fredette at BYU, but one of the Cougars' recruits from the class of 2013 has a chance to follow in his footsteps as a dynamic perimeter shooter.

That players is 6-foot-2 guard Nick Emery (Highland, Utah/Lone Peak), an electric guard who opened eyes in Monday's action at the 2013 Spalding Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass.

Here's Adam Finkelstein with more on the player who has a chance to be the next great scorer in Provo.

"The southpaw sniper is listed as a point guard in our database, but he was doing anything but thinking about his teammates in Monday’s game. This guy is a flamethrower, and he only needs half a second of daylight to launch. He has that ultra confidence all great shot makers possess, which allows him to hit shots off his back foot or fading away. With just a little better shot selection, Emery will be the closest thing to Jimmer Fredette BYU has seen since the real thing."
