Almost though, almost. Jennings talked about the New York Knicks passing on him at No. 8 on draft day, about losing out on the chance to resurrect one of the league's glamour franchises, to make Madison Square Garden his own.
"I feel like I understand why teams like the Knicks passed on me, because I didn't put up big numbers in Italy last year," he said. "But you needed to see me in the practices, and the workouts, to see how I was coming along there. Hey, I'm a gym rat. You had to know that about me."

Donny is as bad as Isiah.

Let's see what happens this year and this offseason. Then we can judge Donnie.

Then again, that could be b/c the Knicks don't have a single player that any other GM covets.

i mean, look at this team. all they do is jack up 3s.
stop it. As good as a drafter as Zeke is. He has the ability to make players out of late picks. There was a reason we never picked top 5 with himdespite being top 5 in terms of being that bad. Dumb *++@ would have probably traded the pick for garbage word to Eddy Curry. But yeah if he had the pick heprob woulda taken Jennings, not like he would be able to coach him though since we had no system.Originally Posted by SHUGES

the fact that we passed up on Brandon Jennings for Jordan Hill is killing me right now.
Analysis: The Bucks went into rebuilding mode this week when they shipped Richard Jefferson to the Spurs for expiring contracts. So if they're going to lose for a little while, why not swing for the fences with a player who could be really special?
Jennings is a terrific athlete, is super quick and can score like crazy. He needs to get stronger, work on his jump shot and settle down a bit, but he has the tools to be great if he wants to be.
Meeks doesn't have the physical tools Jennings does, but he's a crafty scorer who can light it up when given the chance.
The Bucks' future now rests with young players like Andrew Bogut, Joe Alexander and Jennings. It might take Jennings a little longer to realize his potential, but if he does, the Bucks hit a home run.
Gotta put some of the blame for missing out on BJ on the stupid %%+ T'Wolves (taking Rubio AND Flynn).
