So he is working on all around game which i think he should a better right hand will make him a tough cover and defense is always key.. Next year he should focus solely on his shooting touch
Anyhow i think is max ceiling is a tony parker. And a team with BJ as there best player will never win a title.
5 all star games..

Brandon Jennings ceiling is higher than Parker. Parker has been a good player for a long time, but I'm not sure he makes three all-star games if he's not playing next to Duncan for his whole career.

Borderline All-Star who benefits tremendously from the fact that Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams play in the West. That's no knock on Jennings, by the way -- PG is by far the deepest position in the league.

guys a better parker is a friggen good player, i dont know about that yet...parker played with great players that needed the ball like timmy, manu his whole career and still put up great numbers...if he was as ball dominant as jennings is on a worst team he is easily a 22-25 ppg guy...tony is a 2n tier pg...u think jennings will reach the likes of cp3, deron, rose? mayb not, but not completely out of picture

Why would you compare him to Tony Parker? Tony is renowned for being one of the most efficient inside scoring point guards in the history of the NBA, Jennings is renowned for being a poor finisher around the basketball and having a very weak inside game. I don't see the comparison

Tony Parker was a poor finisher his rookie year too. Jennings shouldn't be labeled with anything after one season. He will get a lot better. Once he starts getting some calls inside, his finishing will get better. Last year he was getting hacked every game and not getting calls (to be fair, Jennings wasn't good at selling fouls, hopefully he gets better at that).

Nah, his ceiling definitely isn't Tony Parker..Parker carried that team to the championship that one year and won Finals MVP..A team with Brandon Jennings as its best player will be a borderline playoff team at best

Umm, considering he won 46 games as a rookie PG while being the 2nd youngest player in the league, the above comment doesn't make a whole lot of sense and reeks of hate.
Regarding the Parker comparisons, Parker was a pretty inefficient scorer in his first season as well, in addition to having a lower assist rate than Jennings did last year, and IMO playing worse D. Parker is/was better at finishing at the rim, so we'll see what happens with Jennings there.
