They still love their Jimmer Fredette in Utah.
Fredette on Monday played in his second game since signing with the Phoenix Suns. He had a rough night, missing his first eight shot attempts before finally making a field goal. When he got to the free throw line and scored his first point, the fans went crazy.

Fredette was playing in Salt Lake City, nearby where he starred at BYU from 2008-2011. Fredette averaged 20.7 points per game and won National Player of the Year as a senior and became a fan-favorite.
Though he went on to become a lottery pick, his NBA career quickly fizzled out. Fredette has since developed a career playing in China and has now returned to the NBA for the first time since 2016.
