So the kids who hopped on the bandwagon after watching the guy's highlights made the right choice.

Yeah, that's why I think the whole "I told you so" comment is so childish especially when it comes to Brandon Jennings.
ps: +1 on Hoopstarrr's post

Re: OT: Jennings on Rubio: "I think the dude is all hype"
Remember when Charlie V scored 48 points!? He was clearly the ROY and was easily going to be the best player from that draft class, right?
And then there was Chris Paul. And Deron Williams. And Danny Granger. And Andrew Bynum.
Jennings sucked overseas because of his role. He's kicking butt right now because of his role. The bucks have Bogut and him and that's it and Bogut only takes 10-13 shots per game, so Jennings is free to do his best High School basketball impression over 48 minutes until teams start treating him like the star talent he is.
Don't get me wrong, 55 points on those percentages and that 3 point shooting is incredible. He was a hightly touted High School prospect and we've heard his name for the past 3 years. Those euro stats weren't telling. He looks like he'll be a star, but it's what he does from here on out that will determine if he's the next Iverson or not. And even then... it will take time to determine if he's still the best player from this class. Remember, as great as Allen Iverson was... Kobe Bryant is better and Steve Nash was also in that draft and a late bloomer.
I think Tyreke Evans will win a championship before Jennings.

I'm not going to cry over the fact that we didn't draft Jennings.
With BC at the helm, you know he'll never draft guys with Jennings' demeanor. And there's lots of GMs that are like that. I'm happy with DeRozan. He'll be one of those guys that start off slow, but will reach the superstar level later on.
Guys like Lebron, DWade started off early, CB4 was slow, but now he's reached them and is the best PF in the game.

Huh? What are you basing this on? He drafted Stephen Jackson, traded for Stephon Marbury, drafted the super-cocky Amar'e Stoudamire. He has taken on plenty of other bloated egos and risky players.

I don't see that comparison at all, to be honest.

And he gets rid of them as soon as they're viewed as a problem. Remember TJ Ford?

Re: OT: Jennings on Rubio: "I think the dude is all hype"
i think demar will be a decent swingman.. but not a superstar...
people around the league have only started recognizing bosh as a superstar this season (thank you contract year..), but I don't think demar will ever have as much of an impact on this team as bosh has.
on the other hand, if jennings continues this level of play, he will have the same impact on his franchise as lebron had on cleveland, making the people of the city love basketball again.

He got rid of TJ because he was damaged goods and everyone who's watched TJ after that Horford injury knows that. As for Marbury, he got rid of him because he wanted to create capspace for Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash was his backup plan.

I just said the same thing on the general board. It's indispustable!

The difference was that CV was having a very inconsistent year. He was averaging about 11 ppg before that game and went right back to producing average numbers. Jennings has been putting work from day 1.

Defence wins championships. When are you guys going to learn? As good as Jennings has done so far, its on a bad team. I recall Sotudamire having a pretty good rookie season too. Rubio's value is high because of defensive ability.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

That "bad" team is now 5-2, has won 4 straight including a victory against the Nuggets. I dont understand why people choose to player hate instead of giving credit where credit is due. All signs point to Jennings being a stud.

Well, except that the Bucks are a pretty damn good defensive team.
