Now that we have an idea of what Jimmer can accomplish it’s time to set some goals:

Our goal for Jimmer is to score a point every 2.25 minutes, assist on a basket every 7.00 minutes, create a turnover every 30.00 minutes while shooting 45.0-40.0-85.0% from the field, three-point line, and free-throw line.  We also have a goal for him to have an assist to turnover ratio just below two at 1.75.

(If you click the image above you will see the color scheme that will be used in the box scores: green = met or exceeded goal, white = did not meet goal, red = grossly below goal.  You can also see what Jimmer’s averages will be depending on how many minutes he plays.)

We project that Jimmer will score the ball not quite as well as Curry but better than Billups.  His minutes per assist goal is more in line with Billups’ rookie year than Curry’s or Nash’s and we hope that his minutes per steal will be slightly better than Steve’s.

Where we expect him to perform better than the combined averages of Billups, Curry, and Nash is from the field.  His numbers will be similar to Curry’s (46.2-43.7-88.5) and better than the averages (42.0-39.5-85.3).

The image below will show you how our goals line up with ESPN’s fantasy projection for Jimmer (just stumbled upon this setting up my fantasy basketball team.  We came to a very similar conclusion as ESPN did), the rookie seasons and the first 30+ minute seasons of our buddies Billups, Curry and Nash.

As you can see we project that Jimmer will meet these goals and average 30.0 mpg, 13.3 ppg, 4.3 apg, 1.0 spg, 1.75 a/to ratio and shoot 45.0-40.0-85.0%.  Each box score will reflect if he has met these goals and our season stats will keep track of his progress.
