he gets 2.3 steals per 18 min. that's a pretty good number for a guy who supposedly can't play d. i've watched 5 full games from jennings. he had rep for not playing good d in high school but if you watch his last couple games for Roma it's very clear that he's starting to get the hang of it.

Jennings' blog has two videos up from Slam Magazine that mash Rubio/Jennings highlights.

Those were cool. It is nice that they are developing a lil playful rivalry.

watching those vids makes it look like Rubio might only be an inch taller than jennings, if that. just sayin.

Judging by the shots with them standing side to side, it looks like at least a 2 inch difference to me. This would put Jennings at 6-1 to 6-2 and Rubio at 6-3 to 6-4, so at their listed heights, basically.

My new reasonable wish list

#5- Hasheem Thabeet

The big shot blocking defender we need to match up with Klove and Al jeff to make a very solid big 3.

#18- Eric Maynor

A ready made point guard who I would feel comfortable bringing of the bench behind Telfair (who I feel is going to develop into a starting point guard)

#27- Wayne Ellington

A nice solid shooting guard prospect who will add depth to the wing for us. Not really anyone worth taking a risk on here, would rather just take a proven player.

#47 and #48- Jonas Jerebko and Alade Aminu

Both are project players. Jonas would be stashed overseas to continue to develp into a knockout defender at the 3 spot whereas Aminu would be stashed in the NBDL to continue to develop into a hard running big man.
"That's why the last two years weren't guaranteed," Walsh said. "Either way, he knew it could have happened either way."
