The Brandon Jennings Thread: Swag Chocolate

I'm excited to see him on the fastbreak because I think we need somebody that will actually attempt lobs and passes that nobody else wants to attempt, we miss way too many easy opportunities. Streaky shooter, but it's shooting that we will need regardless. Decent passer and has turned into a good leader.

It'll be interesting to see how he fits the team.

Being I watch alot of Pistons games, Jennings has awesome court vision. He can make those crazy passes while driving to the rim which are very exciting. His defense is not as bad as it seems but for Magic fans whose expectations are absurd, he will appear horrid on Defense. Great competitor. I enjoyed all his time on the Pistons. Plus, he is a PG who can shoot threes and drive to the rim at will.

Besides, Skiles knows Jennings game as well as anyone in the NBA. This is the right spot for him outside of him staying in Detroit.

How does he look after returning from that achilles injury though? Not talking about rust... does he look slower or restricted in his moves compared to before the injury?

I am thankful to the Lord as a pistons fan that bj is gone. I have hated him ever since the first day we got him. His Twitter feed shows his level of maturity and I feel he is a racist.

Not at all. He looks as fast as ever before. He had a few great games where he attacked the rim at will taking solid hits which knocked him to the ground like they weren't nothing. Jennings is almost back. He is still shaking a little rust off though as far as accuracy, but he is ready to contribute. Just wait and see. He is a tough and intense competitor. He will fit this team well interchanging with Elf.

But, like Pistons fans have stated before, he is immature. He loves LA, talking smack and making crazy, shake your head, Twitter posts. But, it is entertaining.

He said Chris Brown was "way more talented" than Michael Jackson. And he was serious.

I really don't like his jumper. The whole process is way more elaborate than it needs to be. He swings the ball up then flails his legs out. He might be a decent shooter if someone would fix his form.

Will he grow the Gumby hair back? That'll rival Elf!

Well one thing he seems he would improve is our fastbreaks. We, no joking here, might be the worst fastbreaking team I've ever seen. I wish I was good at video editing software I could put together a video of all of our failed fastbreaks. It's mind boggling.
The hero Orlando deserves is out there somewhere, Dwight was not the one we needed. So we will hunt for him...

definition of streaky, but when hes on its hard to stop. Not a great shooter but hes a shot maker if that makes any sense, end of possession play breaks down kind of shot maker that we didn't have before. cant wait to see how it looks

Not great shooter who thinks he is great shooter. Awful defender, sometimes good passer. Awful decision maker.

I really don't know what to think about this trade.... For me it looks like GM did this to make fans forget that he trow max deal on Harris
