    Steph Curry hasn't done much with Golden State this year and everyone said Minnesota should have drafted Flynn and Curry.

    Brandon Jennings has so many question marks. I don't blame the T-Wolves for passing on him.

    I do blame them for taking a project like Rubio and their GM did a ****ty job handling the situation.

    Is EuroLeague tougher than the NBA? Did Jennings get THAT much better? Why is Europe so different from the NBA?

    There is a lot I could learn from Brandon Jennings, but I can't see it.
    in europe, seniority rules, not talent. he played so few minutes because there were more experianced players in front of him who knew the system better. also, the NBA became a guards league when the forbid hand checks in 2001, this made quick guards almost unstoppable. Euroleague is more big oriented than guard oriented. also, he learned what it was to be a professional before the players who went to college.

    I think it is less that he is that good than it is that his skillset translates very well to the current NBA environment (at least I think this is the reason he will be an instant success). I also agree that evens will be better once he larns what he is doing with his body (watched him a lot in memphis).


    Chris Johnson: the race to 2000.

    records broken:
    yards from scrimmage (now set at 2509, previously held by marshal faulk
    rushing yards in a calendar month: 797, previously held by Ricky Williams
    franchise rushing record: 2006, previousl held by Earl Cambell
    got his shoes in the hall of fame
    offensive player of the year

    now all we need to do is fix the defense and we are ready to go!

    Jennings is good, but only because scott skiles is putting him and the bucks in that position. Scott Skiles needs to be getting more credit for the bucks success than brandon jennings is.

    He's slowed way down, but with Michael Redd back out, he should go back to big numbers.
    This makes me laugh.

    isn't it funny how Jennings and Tyreke Evans play much better when their all-star quality SG's are injured (Redd & Kevin Martin)?
