Brandon Jennings
The McDonalds All-American game was on tonight, did anyone else watch it? Brandon Jennings (who I believe is Arizona bound) had a flat top. It was fantastic. Not only that, but he was making excellent passes and seems to have a good shot. I really like him, hes already my favorite Freshman for next year, and I am an IU fan. Anyone know much about him, besides the internet scouting reports? He seems legit.

At that level he could split the two defenders easily but against D1 comp...? Maybe not. Very talented player though.
I agree with the over-dribbling... sometimes it seems that while he's trying to make plays for his teammates, the over-dribbling he does can be seen as somewhat selfish and causes the offense to be somewhat stagnant and leads to less of a "team" game...
hard concept to explain but otherwise he is an amazing passer with excellent court vision, a very good handle and a quick first step

He just needs to polish some things up as far as decision making and running a team goes. He goes for the spectacular rather than the simple play at times. He has the game come so easy to him, that he coasts by sometimes, but hopefully this will change with the increase in level of competition. He also needs to put on some weight and get stronger, but that will come in due time.

I don't understand the over-dribbling thing. CP3 and Nash dribble all day, that doesn't make them over-dribblers.
