I'll always contend Rose has the most potential of any PG I have ever seen, but the dude is a mental ******...I will say right now BJ is honestly better. Yes it is way too early in the season to say that but I just don't believe Rose has the ability to carry a team the way BJ is doingOriginally Posted by airmaxpenny1
While I still it's early and I disagree...that !%#% really isn't far fetched. IT's certainly debatableOriginally Posted by Im Not You

[/h1][h1]What a night for the rookie[/h1]
By Tom Enlund of the Journal Sentinel
Nov. 14, 2009 11:45 p.m.
It was an hour or so after the game had ended and Bucks rookie guard Brandon Jennings was strolling across the Bradley Center court with a coupleacquaintances on his way out of the building
The fans who had witnessed his epic 55-point performance had long since departed and the clean-up crew was out in full force. The baskets had been loweredto just a couple feet off the ground and as Jennings approached the basket on the north end of the court, he hesitated at the three-point line and gestured asif he was going to put up a shot at the lowered basket. But he decided not to and kept on walking off the court.
He had already done enough damage for one night.
Jennings set a Bucks rookie record in the 129-125 victory over the Golden State Warriors, surpassing the former rookie record of 51 set by KareenAbdul-Jabbar in 1970. Jennings made 21 of 34 shots including seven from three-point range. He made 12 straight shots and scored 29 points in the third quarterand actually scored the 55 in three quarters since he was scoreless in the first. He scored 10 points in the second quarter and 16 in the fourth.
"I would have to say that was about as special a performance as I've ever seen by a rookie…and you might be able to go beyond that," saidBucks general manager John Hammond after the dust had settled from Brandon's spectacular effort. "This is only my second year here in thisorganization but I would say it's been awhile since we've seen a performance like that in this building."
What impresses Hammond the most about Jennings?
"He believes," said Hammond. "He believes he can do it. And we've always said that about him. Scott (Skiles) said that from the verybeginning also that he believes he's good."
Said Jennings. "The main thing is just keep working hard. Stay humble. Just keep working every day. Don't stop working. This is just one game.We've got another one Monday (against Dallas)."
Asked at what point he knew he had it going, Jennings said, "I think the one when I came down on the break and stopped and popped in Monta (Ellis')face… and I'm not trying to go at him or anything like that but I made the shot and after that it seemed like I couldn't miss."
Jennings is obviously playing with a lot of confidence right now.
"My confidence level is like when I was at Oak Hill my senior year when I was putting up all the big numbers," he said. "Not as far asscoring but just playing and being comfortable out there."
Some of the pertinent facts and figures:
Jennings fell two points shy of the Michael Redd's franchise record that was set in November, 2006.
It was the most points by an NBA rookie since Earl Monroe scored 56 in 1968.
It was the second-most points scored by a player under 21 years of age. LeBron James scored 56 on March 20, 2005.
Jennings joined Redd and Abdul-Jabbar as the only players in franchise history to score 50 or more points.
Bucks veteran forward Kurt Thomas is in his 15[sup]th[/sup] season in the league but hasn't seen too many scoring outbursts like that one.
"He was very impressive," said Thomas. "He's really under control. He's been playing great. Ever since the beginning of the regularseason, he's been playing amazing but tonight was a stellar performance. I don't think I've seen a double-nickel since Allan Houston in my day.
"He's under control. He's very poised. He doesn't get down even if misses a shot or turns the ball over. He just continues to focus on thenext play and he goes out there and does the job."
Said forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, "The rookie is stepping up. I've never see anything like it. I didn't play with some of the greatestplayers back in the day but that has to be one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. What did he make, 10 or 12 field goals in a row? That'scrazy. The way he did it too, just hitting shots after shots. He stepped up big. If it wasn't for him it would have been a long night for us."
The Bucks needed a shot in the arm after shooting 35.3% and trailing by 11 at halftime and Jennings provided it.
"Obviously, he felt we needed to be picked up and he did," said coach Scott Skiles. "We just went to our pick and roll game and spread thefloor and he got hot. Again. A very, very impressive performance by anyone, let alone a rookie.
"(Golden State) is very difficult to get a handle on. When we went in at halftime and looked at clips, it was more our doing than their's. Idon't want to sell their players short. We just didn't come out with the necessary defensive intensity. We didn't get anything easy. We didn'tget any stops. We had trouble handling the ball. And so we just simplified it and gave the ball to Brandon and let him go to work."
Skiles was asked what he said to Jennings afterward.
"Great game," said Skiles. "Get some rest tomorrow and hello Jason Kidd on Monday."

i thought his game against the Nuggets was more impressive because of the team he played against and as a point guard, he had 9 assits:
32 points on 19 shots, 9 Assists.
11/11
Den W 108-102
38 11-19 2-2 8-8 0 0 4 2 0 4 4 9 32

I think the 4 teams that should really be kicking themselves about passing on Jennings are the Kings, T-Wolves, Warriors and Knicks. All 4 of them could use aPG of Jennings' calibre.
Memphis believe in Conley and they have Mayo anyways...the Thunder have Westbrook and the Raps have Calderon. Didn't make much sense for any of those teamsto draft a PG.
Imagine if the Knicks had Jennings + Gallinari + all that cap room.

thoughts:
nobody should be kicking themselves now because he didn't tear up Europe or the preseason.
the warriors defense should not be considered a nba level defense.
under armour is loving life right now.
if you don't see the early jennings and early iverson comparisions you are blind.
