The kids team made it to the playoffs...He was their floor general and played with heart!!

He also dropped 50pts within just a few NBA games...In my opinion he is our ROY.....

Unfortunate he went into that terrible shooting slump mid season that he just never seemed to snap out of...but I admired how he played through it with confidence, most rookies would of crumbled. Scott Skiles is a great coach and could be credited for helping him through this!!

Mid season slump? He had like 10-15 average shooting games all season. This wasn't a slump. He was extremely inefficient last year. He also was not the Bucks floor 'general', unless you just mean he was the guy who started at PG. If he was last year's ROY then Charlie V. deserved to be an allstar in his rookie year. Jennings was decidedly mediocre to poor all year. Chucking all game on horrible %'s and only putting up 6apg shouldn't win you any awards.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

ROFLMAO. Dude did you not read my post? He shot like crap after the first month and they made the playoffs DESPITE that, not BECAUSE of it...Yes he scored 55 points, but that was once, and before people knew how he played and how to defend him. After that, he had entire MONTHS where he shot 30% from the floor...is that really indicative of a "floor general" or "ROY"? lol...your last sentence literally made me LOL and shake my head for a good 10 minutes. He played through it with confidence = he continued to jack shots even though they weren't going in.

Ok, I think this just about sums everything up.

Russel Westbrook>Stephen Curry>Tyreke Evans>Oj Mayo>Brandon Jennings.

The 2 guys who made the National team deserve to be there. If one were to decline or get injured, Tyreke Evans would get the spot. If not him, OJ Mayo.

Conclusion: Your not that good Brandon.

Kid is a punk, I thought he acted like a clown on draft night, I think he acted liked a clown chucking all year when he could have used his teammates, and now this is embarrassing, Coach K is gonna choose his team and tarnish his reputation over shoes choice? ok brandon........he had a brutal year last year. just look at his month to month splits.

Only if "awesome" now means "one of the least efficient players in the NBA".

Yeah yeah, he shot inefficiently on a crappy Bucks offense with zero creators. He was the 2nd best player on a playoff team as a rookie. How many other players can make that claim?

Was he really the only creator? Salmons says hi(gh). And frankly, I think Ilyasova deserves a lot of credit for bringing that team together as a glue guy. I don't think Jennings is better than Salmons at this point to be honest. They are very similar to me, yes he's a rook, but give some take some they're about the same.
