The Sacramento Kings and guard Jimmer Fredette are working on a buyout of his contract, according to multiple reports.

Fredette would be a free agent if he clears waivers.

Yahoo Sports first reported the sides were working on a buyout.

The Kings drafted Fredette with the 10th pick in 2011 after a sensational run at BYU, where he won The Associated Press' player of the year award his senior season. Fredette never lived up to the fanfare in Sacramento, though the franchise's instability -- playing for three different coaches and two different ownership groups -- didn't help his cause.

Looks like the Freepers who doubted Fredette would not last in the NBA were right. I remember the debater here back in 2010-11 college basketball season. The guy could never play defense, and he was exposed as not being able to make his own shot in the NBA. Another great college baller whose skills did not translate to the NBA.

White guys can’t jump.

Except these guys:

Russia's Ivan Uhkov

Ukraine's Bohdan Bondarenko

Both jumped 7'11” in the past 6 months. World Record is a little over 8'0”...which they've both taken close shots at.
