Didn't watch the entire game, just the highlights, so obviously didn't see anything bad (8 turnovers, dumb shots, etc), but he looks just as he did here 5-6 years ago.

It's the G league, so you gotta take it with a grain of salt, but he looks like a guy who can put pressure on defenses and find the open guy. Don't think Munford, Kilpatrick, Terry can do that.

It astounds me that anybody gets to the "maybe" stage. Unless they didn't watch the Bucks when this clown was on the team.



Jennings is primary manifestation of a team trying to "assign" leadership (along with Sanders), and an awesome cautionary tales about what a toxic culture can spoil with regards to talented players.

I've often wondered if you drafted Jennings and put him on a Giannis led team, what he could have become, where you don't have Steven Jackson's of the world enabling idiocy and delusions of grandeur.

If he has humbled a bit, which it appears he has, I have no problem bringing him in as a 3rd string PG that when he gets hot can carry the bench on certain nights ala Beasley. Just make sure we get a TO like Zeller has to keep some upside for us.


This is a completely rational take. Unfortunately, I am irrational when it comes to this dope. I don't want him anywhere near the Bucks, unless it's as an opponent. That I'd welcome.

My woman comparison was better and I'll fight you on this if I have to.

Why are people so afraid of having him run point with the second unit for 15-20 minutes a night? Again, what are Delly, Terry or Xavier Mumford bringing to the table?

for those saying he wont accept the role, he averaged 16 mins/game last season for the Wizards....

if he doesn't play and he pretends to be Munford in the lockerroom then he can have munfords spot I guess.

Munford's on a 2-way and we can't sign another 2-way, even if we cut Munford. He'd have to be on the 15 man.

Coming off of a major injury. What are you getting from the people currently filling that role?

Ian from Hartford went to the game last night and called into the 105.7fm this morning. I tend to agree with much of Ian's "takes". He seems pretty rational. Ian's take is that Jennings is a lot more talented and skilled that Mumford based on what he saw in person last night. Felt there was a wide gap between Jennings and everyone else on the floor.

When are the next Herd games? I think you give him two more games. Then if he looks good, cut Kilpatrick and bring him up.

Maybe "Ian from Hartford" is actually "Alex Lasry".

For the record. I didn't like the dude to begin with and I have zero interest in him now. A chucker who doesn't defend. No thank you. He can stay in the GL.

Bran Don Jennings we need

Some wisconsin job! Mmmhhh delicious

Think about; first round in playoffs against wizards game 7 in town with an amazing crowd but we are trailing 8 points in last quarter 7.18 to go maybe all hope is gone at that time and then Don comes in and bang bang bang 3 threes thus carry out us 1 point lead and with this wind we take win the series...

Good story i guess. 2nd round come after a long time

He was 2 years removed from major injury. He was god awful last season for the Wizards. Completely useless in their playoff run.

The second question is the relevant one. I trashed Jennings for years so i'm not trying to be his cheerleader here.

If the question is, "Can he be better off the bench than our current backup PG options?" My answer is "maybe, lets give him a shot. what do we have to lose?"

They play tomorrow and Sunday, then like 5 days off.

Should have a good enough feeling after Sunday I presume?
