Curry Vs Jennings
So months ago, I posted here that if I were an NBA GM, I would take Curry over Jennings. I think Curry is what he is, but at least you know. Jennings may end up being nothing.
I got killed here. People were all over me for being stupid.
Now ESPN has Curry 1 pick ahead of Jennings at 8.
Do we still feel Jennings will be taken well ahead of Curry?

Who else thinks they could draft better than all Chicago teams?

Re: Curry Vs Jennings
Jennings will probably go ahead of Curry after the combine and individual workouts. It's hard to say for sure though, because some team will be enamored with what he did in college and take a chance on Curry. It's hard for me to judge Jennings game because I just haven't seen enough of him but Curry is definitely a good pick in the 10-15 range.

Re: Curry Vs Jennings
It's funny how a lot of people have strong opinions on Jennings, without ever having seen him play (I'm talking about people who think he's a lock for the top 5 AND people who think he'll be a bust). He's probably an enigma to a lot of GMs as well, I think his workouts will have a huge role in where he's drafted. His stats in Europe are certainly terrible, but it's hard to know what to make of stats for a player going straight to Europe out of HS with a supposedly NBA suited game, it's pretty unprecedented.

Re: Curry Vs Jennings
Jennings is a great athlete that can get into the paint at will on any defender on this planet. That's more valuable than a 6'1" shooting guard that lives on the perimeter like Curry. Jennings is also a better passer and nothing is stopping him from being a more prolific 3 point shooter than Curry down the line. So the outside shooting advantage that Curry has isn't really a big deal because Jennings can certainly shoot the ball for a 19 year old that has spent his life finishing at the rim.

If he could get into the paint at will on any defender on this planet, he must have been one of the worst finishers in the history of western civilization this season

Yeah that's what someone like you would think that has no concept of the rules of the European game. People like you have no clue that there is no 3 second defensive penalty in Euro basketball, so you have stiffs crowding the paint. No such problem in the NBA. But people with a modicum of basketball knowledge understand this and would have never made such a foolish statement as the one that you posted above.

Europe is on its own planet, apparently.

I'd expect someone like you to make such a statement. Europe has always been identified as a star not a planet!
Any person with a modicum of astronomy knowledge would never make such a foolish statement like the one you made above.

Re: Curry Vs Jennings
So they are about running neck and neck as of 6/10 but it seems like Curry is heading up the charts and Jennings is falling. I personally would take the pure shooter who may never be something more, than the 19 slashing small guard.
Who else thinks they could draft better than all Chicago teams?

Re: Curry Vs Jennings
Give me Jennings, it's unbelievable how undervalued he's become lately. I think the Tier 1 prospects in this draft are Griffin, Rubio, and Harden, and the Tier 2 prospects are Thabeet, Hill, and Jennings. I have those guys as the clear top 6. Jennings' potential and natural skill level is as high as anyone's in this draft including Griffin and Rubio and he could fall to 14 or 17... unreal.

This is how you can tell the difference between the people that have actually seen Brandon play, and those who haven't, but feel the need to voice their opinions anyway.

I have seen plenty of Jennings to know the guy will bust, any GM that drafts him in the lottery ought to be FIRED

Re: Curry Vs Jennings
Wil Bynum?
WTF type of random comparison is that?
Brandon Jennings is a playmaker plain and simple. If he's a bust it will be because his shot isn't very good. But Will Bynum, what the heck type of comparison is that?
Maybe he'll be a poor man's version of Rafer Alston at worse

Re: Curry Vs Jennings
Bullcrap
Jennings is a slasher who cant shoot and isnt that good of a playmaker
Sounds like a Will Bynum type to me
Add to the fact that Jennings is immature and not very bright and you got yourself a Bust recipe

If Jennings is Will Bynum then Curry is a poor man's, guard version of Adam Morrison.
