Brandon Jennings. 

Post#1 » by dub81 » Tue Nov 14, 2017 12:35 am

Question:

I know Brandon Jennings is in China right now and he's available to come back to the NBA when their season is over. If we can some how find a way to get JC salary off the books, do you think Brandon Jennings is a good option to replace JC?

No, no, and no, and no.

The team keeps preaching that they want to follow the GSW offensive model. Jennings runs counter to that in every which way.

This season is about developing and getting ready for summer 18. Brandon is just a temporary fix.

Much rather give a chance to Caruso or Blue. Jennings has had plenty of chances in the league to be something more than what he was.

This.

I'm with you on Caruso. Josh Hart could also stand getting some bigger minutes (before I'd personally bring Blue into the guard rotation). Hart's defense is excellent, handles and shot and court vision NBA level, ready to go.

Sorry to be Debbie downer but this is not your best idea so far. :-)

Jennings is a ball hog who only knows how to play 1 on 5 on offense and is not interested in defense.

Therefore he is not a fix, he'd instead be a total detriment to all that Luke is trying to accomplish with this young and impressionable team.

Respectfully, no thanks.

Rather stick with JC. Jennings is playing in China for a reason.

Even if we somehow get Deng off the books I won't even consider signing Jennings.

I really don't understand some of the obsession with Jennings and some Lakers fans. Must be the LA connection. Dude is bad and has been for some time.

Would way rather have Deron Williams. Brandon Jennings is an idiot, and certainly not a Luke Walton type player.

5 years ago. Sure

He has been a bad player for a while now. It's not surprising he had to go to china

If he turns everything around, sure.
