    Jennings is just stunning to watch when he has it going. Wow.

        Speaking of rookies, has anyone been watching the Bobcats beyond highlights & box scores? One wonders about the implications that the Jax acquisition has on the team's early evaluation of Gerald Henderson. (Maybe they're thinking in seasonal stop-gap terms, but good luck trading Jax again.)

          It just sucks that the Bucks drafted him and he's gonna pull them up in the Central. Not only that they still have Redd who has yet to play.

          Based on how Jennings is playing, he is definitly worthy of being a 2nd pick.

            I. Love. Brandon. Jennings.

            I don't like when Skiles plays him together with Ridnour, though. It takes the ball out of Brandon's hands on some situations. However, this might not be the norm and Skiles could just be adjusting to Carlisle playing Barea/Kidd/Terry.

              Larry Brown hates rookies. Always has.

                I wish we could go back and bump the old Brandon Jennings threads.

                  if we do find the Jennings threads, anything that can be found as me having said Jennings was over rated is nothing but lies lies and more lies..

                  I never really said that, I just compared him to Brooks...

                    For those that have seen Jennings play....... Is he essentially dominating the ball? How well is at getting teammates involved? Or is more AI then Steve Nash?

                      Looked to be more AI to me....not a distributor, definitely a scorer. Lots of threes, lots of drives down the middle with a floater going in, and/or the foul. He did pass the ball, but generally there were better results when he kept it.

                      I've see all of one game of his, should be said. Speedy little guy...fast and quick. Lots of cuts to get free worthy of Reggie or Rip.

                      If he doesn't end up too full of himself, or even if he does, he's going to be a load to face.

                      Now that I see his line for the night...8 assists. So he is dishing it, but his scoring threat jumps out at you.

                        Brandon Jennings is my favorite non-Pacer rookie ever.

                        HUGE fan of his. And he seems like a real kid too, pretty down to earth guy.

                            I turned to the Memphis game looking to catch a glimpse of Tinsley and I don't think I've ever seen so many empty seats.

                            I think 4,000 might even be a stretch. So sad...
