Look at the assist totals on the 6ers after Jru, its 3 and change from turner then everyone is under 2. Now look at the bucks with Jennings and Monte both just above 5 then Udrih at 3 and change, see how the Bucks offense spreads the ball control around more than Philly??? (oh and the starters for Philly shoot .461 vs .422 for the Bucks, might help to get more assist when people can actually hit shots!)
This isn't even about how much I don't like Brandon, I think Jrue is just that much better of a player. I'd trade Jennings for a guy like Lowry because I don't want to pay Jennings going forward, that isn't the same case here. I genuinely think Jrue is a much, much better player then Jennings.
As for the assist thing, I think that's one thing I think proves even more that Brandon isn't a great passer. Monta has shown that pick and roll play is possible with the squad we have. We've seen some absolutely beautiful plays with him in the pick and roll, we really haven't seen that from Brandon. Beno is great at driving into the lane and drawing guys and doing small little handoffs to guys, once again, Brandon has a ton of trouble getting to those spots and even more trouble converting.

Our defense is great. Our offense isn't what is winning us games like how Philly is forced to do without a center. Jrue is a better defender then Jennings so that would add to our defense as well.

Not even sure how to respond to this. When they don't call anything and there is absolutely no defense being played in an NBA game maybe the situations could be somewhat comparable. Might as well sign Hot Sauce, he's got to be able to break down LRMAM with his sick handles right?

How about dump Monte who has been good in like 5 games, trade for a quality big that can finish, and ride Jennings through the year and then if you don't like the numbers to sign him you move on and use all that freed up money to sign from the tons of quality PGs that are better than Jennings. To be honest I would love for him to go to a team like the Knicks or Lakers and watch him blow up with quality players around him.
Jennings isn't on the top of my list, but his upcoming free agency makes this deadline with him moving forward pretty important. Every impression we're getting seems to indicate he's getting over $10 million a year. I don't think his play to now warrants that type of contract and I'm (obviously the minority) not sure sure he's all that much better then we've seen.
