08:06 AM ET 06.10 | Is The Jimmer Show looking for ratings? [Jimmer Fredette] is scheduled to work out next Wednesday with the Jazz, and he has every intention of sticking to the date. But Fredette is willing to change his plans to accommodate the schedules of Kemba Walker (Connecticut) and Brandon Knight (Kentucky). And whether the two highly touted 2011 NBA Draft prospects will face off against Fredette in Salt Lake City remains to be seen. With his draft stock rising, Fredette wants to work out against Walker and Knight to prove that he can compete with the point guards, who are expected to be taken early during the first round.

Its funny, cause I think knight, who has the highest upside, will be out of the league first after his guaranteed contract expires.I think kemba and jimmer will stick around for a while as quality back ups...

Knight will stick around, if Telfair's career has proven anyone with athleticism and name recognition can stick around even if they can't play. I'm confident Knight will be a better player than Telfair

As far as Jimmer i've read the other two are avoiding going against him in workouts at all costs, especially Kemba. I don't know who'll end up the better player but that's weak from their side

Of course they're avoiding him.

They have absolutely nothing to gain by going against him and a whole lot (draft position) to lose.....I mean; do the math.

They are projected as early-lotto selectees (3rd to 7th) and Jimmer is projected to go as a late lotto pick to a late 1st round pick (12th to 22nd).

If they go up against Jimmer and have a badwork-out while Jimmer has a good work-out, then Jimmer goes top 5 and one or both of them (but most likely Walker) will drop like a rock!

He's a real good athlete.....but that doesn't always translate into 'good defense'.

At the same time, when he was on the court, he was asked to score.....not (really) to spend energy on playing 'D'.

Basically......the jury's still out on whether he can play 'D'.
