Jimmer Fredette Surprised Spurs Contacted Him

(Jimmer) Fredette said he was surprised when the (San Antonio) Spurs contacted him this summer.

“It’s an awesome opportunity. When I got the phone call, I wasn’t expecting this opportunity at all. It is something I’m grateful they offered me and it showed they want me on the team. They don’t offer people for no reason. They see a type of guy they want and they go after (him) and I’m glad I’m their type of guy.”

Fredette said etching out an NBA career is a big challenge where anything can happen but that it’s important to find the right fit.
