I do like Khris Middleton, but yeah, he put up solid numbers on a bad Milwaukee team last year. As a point of reference, a guy like Tony Wroten is putting up good numbers on an awful Philly team this year. Someone has to score, after all. Now that the Jabari era has begun in Bucks town, Middleton's getting less run, as he should. He's a decent enough player (nice shot, certainly), but he's probably not a starter on a good team.
I'd certainly rather still have him instead of Singler, though. Middleton's a legit 7th man at the worst, while Singler isn't even that.

Then why can't anyone in Detroit do it?

I miss Knight. For all of his flaws he plays hard and gives his best effort which makes losing that much easier to take.

This is just hyperbole. The Pistons have plenty of guys who can score, just no one who can do it well.

Knight and Middleton may be contributors for a long, long time.
Jennings? The guy may be out of the league after this contract ends. If he isn't, he's a 10-12 guy somewhere else...for a while anyhow.

I realize Joe took chances on a lot of players when he first became gm but none of those guys had character issues. Joes started failing when he signed and traded for guys with poor values.

Yeah, like we'll ever have a follow-up on this discussion in 2 years. Are you able to see the future and see Jennings one upping Arenas and taking a bomb to the locker room, getting him exiled from the league or something?

Which is funny because i am sure there was a whole video clip of "HIGH CHARACTER INDIVIDUALS"
I have always been on the BK bandwagon, he just needed time to develop. Jennings is struggling because he has to play in a system rather than free lance, it takes bball iq and jennings has always been instinctual player. To play in SVG's system , he must recognize what the team is trying to do

You clearly are not grasping my point so there's little use in debating it further.

You tried to make the reach that Brandon Jennings could be out of the league as soon as 18 months, you HAD no point. But I agree, no point in debating further.
