Fast Start

We all know I am not a big fan of Brandon Jennings like that but he has discovered the same thing Derrick Rose did last season - start fast as a rookie and opponents will quickly turn up the defense. Jennings was sensational in November, averaging 22.1 points and shooting 42 percent from the field. He exploded for 55 points against Golden State in his seventh NBA game. December was a different story, as Jennings' scoring dropped to 16.7 points and he shot 37.6 percent. "I think a lot of people expect me to score a lot now, but that's not really my game," Jennings said recently in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Actually, I'm a better passer than I am a scorer, and a lot of people don't know that yet. I'm not going to be able to put up big numbers every night. I've got to find another way to help the team win."

Give a Little Credit

I really have not liked Brandon Jennings but I have to give him some credit. In a 129-125 win against Golden State on Nov. 14, Jennings scored 55 points -- the most in a game by a rookie since Earl Monroe had 56 in the 1968 season. In addition to his ability to put up big scoring numbers, Jennings has impressed Detroit Pistons coach John Kuester.He averages 21.5 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks in scoring. His 5.8 assists also are tops among Bucks players. "I'm very impressed with his discipline and how he's seeing the court and recognizing there are opportunities where he is going to score a lot of points, but also making his teammates better."

Big Talk

Brandon Jennings have begun smashing Rick Rubio's reputation. He feels that he is overrated and overhyped beacuse he has been playing in the Olympics and pro since he was 14. I mean I'm sensing a little jealous from the Jennings camp. I mean he [Jennings] isn't the next coming of MJ himself. Jennings then went on to say that he himself is a better scorer and better overall player. Then he said other PGs in the draft should be ahead of him [Jonny Flynn, Ty Lawson, Jrue Holiday, and Steph Curry]. Sounds like a lot of talking I just hope he can back it up. 

"When I played him he had zero points, two assists, and two turnovers, so you tell me how that was for him," said Jennings. "I can't wait to play him in Summer League. I'm just letting you know I can't wait."
