This guy is gonna be a stud in the NBA, the next Allen Iverson but with better court vision. I know we already got Devin Harris and he's a great pg, but I think this guy's really going to end up being a top 3 pg in the league in the ranks of CP3 and Deron.

Here's a short mixtape of him in highschool, he broke theh Oak Hill scoring record by scoring 63 points in a game, and plenty of highprofile ballers came out of there.

I also saw him at the Jordan Classic game a month ago, his impact on the game was tremendous amongst the top ranked highschool players in the nation.

He'll be going to Arizona this year but his supporting cast is pretty terrible. But keep an eye out for this guy.


We'd also most likely need a top 5 pick for him. He's the real deal.

This guy's scoring capacity and body frame is similar to AI, but when it comes to playing pg, he's much better at it than AI was. Even so, Iverson still carried his team to the finals and will end up in the HOF.

Anyways, we're not contenders anymore and it's likely we won't even make the playoffs next season anyway, so we can start looking at the 2009 draft class. Everyone hop on the Jennings bandwagon.

Why is that likely ? Unless we completely blow up making the playoffs in the east shouldn't be very hard .

I mean we don't know yet whats happening this offseason so who cares about next ?

Honestly what's wrong with looking into the future for the 2009 draft? All I'm saying is he should be a guy we would target if we're to end up with a top 5 pick. We could also use the discussion considering how dead the board is.

jennings has great court vision and scoring ability but tends to showboat and ball hog a little too much. lets wait and see how he does in college first........

nice dribbling, he broke 4 guys, but common that wouldnt happen in the NBA, or College ball for that matter..........

His penetrating and finishing ability is crazy, allen iversonesque for a guy his size. His frame is still a little small but I think 190-195 would still be a good weight for him. As far as basketball skills go, he's topnotch in almost every category, and to top it off, he's lefty. He has the best dribbling skills out of any kid in college. He's so quick, and he's got ridiculous hops. But what really makes him stand out is his knowledge of playing point. His court vision sick, some people may call him a showboat, but that still doesn't take away from the fact that he makes tremendous plays that very few players can make. Really, the only weakness he has at the moment is a consistent jumper.

He's good. But let's worry about that next year. Meanwhile, how about Darrell Arthur? I like this guy. I won't mind using our 1st pick on him if we stayed on 10th. This guy is underrated, i think he's the 2nd best offensive big in the draft (outside Beasley). Two years ago, Noah and Horford could not stop him, and that was his freshman year. This guy has something to prove and im on it. I wouldn't gamble our pick with the likes of Jordan or Lopez anymore, i fell in love with this guys game and i think he should be our choice.

We can always get an outside shooter from the FA market or if we get lucky, somebody might slip down to our #21 pick.
