Brandon Jennings is the Truth

Re: Brandon Jennings is the Truth

The best thing about this to me is the fact that only Wilt has scored more as a rookie, and the height/era difference between the two... Jennings clearly had the most impressive scoring effort in NBA history for a rookie considering the advantages Wilt had size-wise and the disadvantage Jennings has size-wise...

Co-Sign. Anytime you break a scoring record of Lew/Kareem's and get your name next next to Wilt's is superb.

How exactly would he be option number five on the Knicks?? The only guy on the Knicks roster with his kind of scoring punch is Al. Guys like Chandler and Hughes would not be taking shots away from Jennings. If a guy like Gallinari can be thier third leading scorer I know Jennings could do far more than that. Hell Toney Douglas lead the team in shot attempts this past week so I know good and well Jennings wouldn't be held back at all on the Knicks.

somewhat true, but he wouldn't be first option like he is on bucks. After Redd's injury they gave him the keys to the franchise pretty much along with Bogut. + they have Robinson, Lee, Harrington.

Sure 55 points is a big deal, but after watching the game...Lebron or Wade would've put up 234 points each against that travesty of a team.

They probaly won't. But don't confuse won't with can't. They won't because they don't have to. The Warriors have given up 100 points every game this season.

Yep, well that's because we don't have 2 of our main bigs and we run a 40 year old PF who was never decent at Center and a 20 year old SF/PF at Center.

And that's also because we have some sort of offense unlike some teams (Charlotte) and we are able to score more than 70 points a game. No need to hate.

Re: Brandon Jennings is the Truth

Jennings is saying all the right things about staying in Milwaukee. He said he doesn't go around with an entourage, he get's nice greetings from passing by people, and he also already has an advertising contract with Armour Guard.

The Bucks had to get rid of lousy contracts(Simmons and Williams) to stay near the salary cap.

I'd rather trade Redd for some young talent and pay Jennings, even though it's only 7 games into the season.

Re: Brandon Jennings is the Truth

I agree with the AI comparisons. Jennings looks like left-handed AI in the making. But compared to AI in his rookie season Brandon already looks like he has a better jumpshot/shooting touch, then again he is left handed so that shot looks so much sweeter.

Re: Brandon Jennings is the Truth

What a baller. Part of me wishes the Suns went ahead with some of the deals to land a #10 pick to draft him.

Two or three guys from the Warriors and use the #7 on Jennings? Filthy.

Well i was hoping his assist would be higher but he scoring type PG more than D-rose. But his defense is a surprise because he wasn't a good defender in H.S.

Yeah, Jennings is more of a scorer while Rose is a distributor. Rose has all the tools to be scoring more and drawing fouls, but he defers way too much to his teammates (13 FGA compared to Jennings 20 FGA). Jennings is also a better shooter as well.

With all that being said, I would rather have Rose as my franchise PG. He has more of an upside and I know what he's capable of. I think Rose's 36 points in his first playoff game against the Celtics as a rookie was more impressive than Jennings 55 against the Warriors.

But your the one that's hating on Charlotte. I know you dont think that Golden State is better than the Bobcats. Maybe offensively but not all around, plus Charlotte has a WAY better coach.

I don't really see rose as a "distributor"... IMO he is a better scorer than distributor... I mean he only averaged 6 assist last year, 5 this year... but then again, this year he is not doing much scoring OR distributing...

BTW Rose's 36 was on a bigger stage against a better team... but still several times per year, playoffs included, 36 points will be scored... What Jennings did is a feat for ANY NBA player no matter how much experience they have... You don't look at what Jennings did and say, that's exceptional for a rookie... you just say that's exceptional... Rose's performance is one we will see plenty times...

I guess some people value points more than others.

I would take 30+ points and 9 asts with a win over a title contender over 55 points against a team that has obviously mailed it in anyday.

You can't simply look at stats and determine who's a distributor or a scorer. Iverson has averaged over 7 assists in 5 separate seasons...I guess he's more of a distributor as well.

Anyway, back to what I was saying. Rose has the mentality of a distributor. He looks to get his teammates involved first. He's been that way since HS, and even his one year at Memphis. The reason his numbers are down is because he missed all of pre-season and Vinny was playing him less than 30 minutes/game the first 5 games of the season. He only takes 13 shots/game.

Also, as a person who has watched every Bulls game for the past few years, I can tell you that last year, the Bulls ran a lot of iso plays. Gordon, while I miss him on the team, would iso by himself and put up a shot rather than playing off Rose. This year, are scoring is completely down due to a lack of shooters to space the floor. There's no room for Rose to drive if defenders aren't staying home on the shooters, and he can't get assists if his teammates can't make shots. Our coaching is horrid, and we win games despite Vinny and not because of him.

Lee doesn't take shots away from anybody. They don't even really run any plays for him at all. Robinson comes off the bench and just came back from injury. He wouldn't be taking any shots from him either. Al is the only real threat on that team but even he isn't putting up alot of shots. He is only attempting 15 a game. If he hasn't stopped Toney Douglas from putting up shots I know he wouldn't stop Jennings.
