Jimmer Fredette has taken China by storm

China — Yes. Jimmer Fredette is still trying to land a spot in the NBA, but in the meantime, the Glens Falls native is tearing things up in the far East. Just halfway into the Chinese Basketball Association season, it’s a real thing we checked; Fredette has transformed into one of the league’s best and brightest. Averaging 38 points per game, and shooting nearly 40% from three point land, he’s quickly become the hottest thing in a country most known for its smog. 

Not too shabby for a Glens Falls kid.

Shoutout to 104.5 the team’s Zach Bye for tipping us off on the story.
