is Bynum-Jennings a long term solution

[joseph mamah]

Jennings is pleased with the idea of joining Jennings

I know its just a typo, but this made me lol because it probably really is his mentality.

Ellis had a similar article in the Freep the other day that almost made me lose my breakfast.

datome has an incredible talent, if singler is taking minutes i don't understand why datome not, he's better than singler in every aspect of the game

Easy there sparky.

The only thing he has shown is he can chuck and travel so far.

because our fantastic coach take out confidence from him, got him play garbaje minutes and sometimes not even that

Datome might be good, but he almost certainly will never be a starter in this league barring a major catastrophe. Since he'll always be a bench player, he needs to develop the ability to come in and hit shots without worrying about getting into a rhythm. Gigi has not taken advantage of the limited opportunities he's gotten. The only way he gets more opportunities is if he shows it in practice (considering our 3pt defense this shouldn't be that hard) and then actually takes advantage and hits his shots.

I would love to see Datome to get more minutes, but to say he's better than Singler is just silly.
Datome isn't ready just yet. He has talent, but he still looks lost on the court.
Singler always plays smart with energy and hustle.

he was the lega mvp like gallinari was... and if you saw the eurobasket, you wouldn't say he isn't ready, he has no confidence because our coach, but if he gets more minutes and play with regularity, he will be a sixth man, even a starter with so much talent, he can shoot from the dribble like singler can't, he's an average defender (he needs to adapt his game to the nba, but he's damn good), he's better than anyone in our team shooting for 3

I have no doubt that in time he'll be a very good player. I saw highlights and read articles on him when he first signed here and i'm actually happy he's on the roster, but the NBA isn't very forgiving and our coach is stupid. Unfortunately in the limited time Datome has seen he hasn't made the most of his opportunities and so he hasn't seen much time since.
I really want cheeks to give him a better chance with more minutes on a consistent basis, but sadly i don't think that will happen.

[Q00]

I was thinking perhaps this is the key to maximizing Jennings passing/scoring abilities.

He may one day figure out how to balance the two 50/50 at the PG position, but for now maybe its best if they just let him focus on one task at a time, and use him accordingly.

He has displayed elite ability as a passer/playmaker. He's also displayed it as a scorer. The problem is he rarely displays simultaneously. So maybe instead of trying to make him both in one, when he's at PG just use him as primarily a playmaker, and then when you want to utliize his scoring bring in Will/Stuckey to run the point and move Jennings to SG.

That way when he's in a groove with his shot, it becomes a positive instead of negative. Before when he has it going and takes a bunch of shots at PG, it ruins the flow of the team offense. At SG though, if he's in a groove we can keep it going and benefit from it, as long as we have another PG in the game to keep the offense flowing as a team.

I think Cheeks might be starting to figure out how to use this roster. With the new frontcourt rotation and utilizing Jennings scoring off the ball, it seems like the two major problems affecting this team all year may now have solutions.

the problem with jennings is that he's the player who most needs the ball in his hands, he got it all the possession, and even his assist are pretty good and his 5th in assists, monroe and smith either one has got less assist than the last season, i mean, the team is not playing better, not playing well, he's just doing his numbers (but is not jennings fault at all, if we got a good coach he probably could teach him how to play PG with less ball)
