I think Knight is an interesting prospect with some upside, but this forum would fast get sick of him and we'd be doing this same dance at the end of his rookie deal. He's no brighter than Jennings and yet both players are better than Stuckey.

u know I wouldn't say he is fine size the man is like what 180 lbs dripping wet and 6'0 yet I remember people not wanting larkin cause he was only 1 inch smaller but weighed as much as Jennings.Mayo is an inch bigger than monta and has a longer wingspan.He is a good size for a SG while monta is a good size for a PG.
I think Jennings if u compare him to a lot of quality PGs is a lot lighter and probably smaller in height

Larkin is 5'10" 170lbs with a 5'10" wingspan

Jennings is 6'1" 170lbs(that's assuming he hasn't put on any weight since coming into the league) with a 6'7" wingspan(longer than Mayo or Monta)

he dwarfs Larkin

Gery saying something will happen makes me more certain it won't happen than Dumars saying it won't happen.

Hmmmmm, please don't be cryptic. If you have intel that Tony Wroten might be coming to Milwaukee, just say it.

Have we had any BuckPack sightings recently? We could use some crumbs here.

Exactly. An inefficient, under-sized SG that we think can play PG? Have people forgotten about a certain Monta "have it all" Ellis already?

ok u got me there though the weight is the same.Maybe Jennings should actually try to use his long wingspan and take it to the rack more

Not that any other heights and weights are accurate in the NBA, but Jennings is not 6'1. I have met him and was shocked that he wasn't taller than I am. My brother, who was there, is between 6'1 and 6"2 was clearly taller. I am 5'11 and 1/2 and he definitely was not any taller than I was. I know they tend to exaggerate heights and weights, but Jennings is more like 5"11 in reality.

Another guy who isn't his listed height is TJ Ford. Listed at 6'0, when I met him, he was a bit shorter than I was, seemed more like 5'9 to 5'10.

My thoughts exactly...it's tough to say this, but I would take Wroten over Jennings right now, and Wroten didn't do anything this year, and he has a large chance of being out of the league in 2 years. Perfect for the tank.

No way in hell it's a trade for Jennings involving Wroten.

With Hollinger and a strong analytics team in place, Memphis would be the last place Jennings would land.

My thoughts exactly.........But wonder if they would do Ilaysova/Jennings for Wroten/Randolph....Just based on them trying to move him earlier

I'm 6'0 without shoes on and I stood next to TJ Ford when he had basketball shoes on and I was a legit 2 inches taller than him.

He is no taller than 5'10

Probably. But at least we'd suck if Knight would fall flat on his face. And if he turns out to be better than we thought, then cool, we'd then have a young, cheap, improving PG with upside.

Then what is Greg Jennings? 5'9"? I've seen Brandon and Greg stand next to each other Brandon is visibly taller than him.

What teams other then the Pistons could be landing spots?

Where did you find Jennings' wingspan? I've never seen it anywhere since he wasn't at any of the pre-draft combines.

raferfenix · Post #579 » by **raferfenix** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 7:17 pm

It is odd that multiple rumors about the Pistons would come out at once. Something tells me Dumars or someone is playing some kind of game with that.

That said, there aren't many great options for a Jennings sign and trade with Detroit anyways, so I'm not too eaten up about it.

As long as the end result is no Jennings, at least Hammond's offseason wouldn't be as abject of a failure as it otherwise could be.

It's funny you bring that up. Greg Jennings used to go to a lot of Bucks games. He would sit dead center court on the floor, my season tickets are 4 rows behind that. He's TINY. So no that doesn't surprise me. Greg Jennings is only listed at 5'11, in which he's more likely 5'9.

What should the Bucks do with Jennings?
