I used to think Jennings couldn't be productive consistently either.
I think the main difference is that when Jennings shot isn't falling, he still has the superior court vision to make his teammates better. But im hoping for the best. Today was a good sign.
The difference is jennings vision in transition where he tends to find the open man or get his. His defense while not elite, he typically stayed in front of most guards, and caused TO's. Jennings had the ability to get by the first man in space and understood where the open man was when help side came. He also was very good about drawing fouls from the trailing defender.
DJ tends to be more of a scoring PG, he tends to dribble to much and at times lack of pace creates a panic'd feeling. Alot of his assist tonight in the first half where in transition and not from running the offense.He needs to consistently get in the lane(which jennings became good at) , and cause the defense to make decisions. Most of all he needs to figure out how to stop letting his man blow right psat him. Our defensive struggles mostly start from him. I like the conscious effort to get moose the ball tonight, however that is more to do with Detroits game plan as oppose DJ's decision.
