SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Jimmer Fredette has his own reality show, a song that’s amassed nearly a million YouTube views and a legion of followers.

He also has a legion of detractors, making him possibly the most polarizing player in this year’s NBA draft.

Caught in the middle are the Utah Jazz, who with two first-round picks very well may be in position to pull the trigger at No. 12 and draft the BYU shooter turned national sensation.

The question is should they and will they?

General manager Kevin O’Connor gets to make the final decision Thursday on draft night.
