Honestly i thought sharpe had moments where he showed tremendous flash, but didn't get consistent minutes. I really thought he'd be at least a role player. I am guessing he's a guy like Bullock who we think is better than he actually is.

Makes it worst when you think that we got Sharpe > D. Jordan.

How is Wesley Matthews playing when he tore his achilles two months later than Jennings? Or is there a severity difference and a tear could reference a complete tear vs a partial tear?

Sitting here watching some late night TV and guess what I find on NBA TV, the Jennings 55 point game vs Golden State from November 2009. I had completely forgotten that Curry was a rookie and played in that game and that Jodie Meeks was on the Bucks. Meeks hit an absurd shot at the end of the 3rd at the buzzer from 3/4 court.

Who among you here think of a succesful 2 guard combo? Does a jennings-jackson tandem good enough ala bledsoe-knight? It's good to have a 2 facilitators on the floor at the same time which KCP can't do

I think it will work. With Jennings back, Jackson could slide to a small 2 guard in some lineups. We'll have the deadly PNR coupled with Jennings (hopefully retained) quickness and ability to penetrate. We could make some serious noise if all goes well.

In small stretches I think it could produce some offense, but what concerns me is that you'll be downgrading defensively at both positions. Reggie is a better defender than Jennings at the 1 and KCP is a MUCH better defender at the 2 than Reggie.

I'd rather go to the Jackson-Jennings combo than have either have to play with Bullock. So have Jackson as the primary back-up to KCP. Kentavious can play 36mpg, so we'd only need Jackson/Jennings for 12mpg.

For what it's worth Bullock isn't really playing right now anyways. The second unit is basically Blake/Johnson/Morris/Tolliver/Baynes. After that it's usually a mixed bunch for the rest of the game. If Jennings can do anything on the court I would expect him and Jackson to get some backcourt minutes together but not much. A whole quarter's worth might be overshooting it.

I can't imagine Jennings would be worse than Blake though so even just with backup point guard minutes he should make a decent impact on the team.

Man, in hindsight, signing Lin to a contract (2.1 million/yr) would've been killer with what how Blake and Dinwiddie spontaneously imploded.

He's actually a solid sixth man contrary to popular belief.

Lin definitely signed cheap. He may have picked Charlotte because he recognized the opportunity to unseat Kemba as the starting PG -- because Kemba isn't really a PG, he's a small 2, ala Knight.
