possibly Brad Jennings or Blake Griffin’s brother, sorry to say he might have a really short lived NBA career....

Dont know if its gonna be, but I hope it is Rubio. Tired of these guys trying to pick and choose where they want to go. Also his team trying to hold the Timberwolves hostage for a buy out. The NBA should make all european players only eligible if they arent under contract to a European team.

You got the biggest badass in the draft in Griffin saying he has no problem playing for the Clippers and looks forward to the challenge to change their history. Then you get this little punk ass like Rubio who made it known he might refuse to play for the Timberwolves and his team wants money.

had this question several times since thedraft...I think thabeet will be kind of a bust even though I hope he wont (I like him)...he should be ok, but not #2 potential.....one of th guards picked in the top15 will be lot totally, but I dont see that as a pust coz it was a weak draft anyway and you cant expect too much out of them...rubio can be a bust but also be the player of the draft...i would have taken the risk...maybe even as the clippers, as they have nothing to loose!

how is Brandon Jennings gonan be a bust. He was one of the best rookies in summer league (lead sumemr league in assists). he is gonan be a isiah Thomas type of player, one of the quickest Passer i ve ever seen.

If I had to pick a true bust it would be Curry. The guy is a 'tweener. He's to small to play SG and thats his strength. He's not a PG. He scored alot at a small school. This is gonna shell shock him. I will say this Eric Gordon was the same type player...undersized as a SG and has done well for the Clips but that is very few and far between to find in a player. Curry is my pick to be the bust....although I'm still pulling for Rubio.

He 6-1 AND 170, he will get broken
He is selfish
He is immature and unintelligent, that is a bad combo
Summer League doesn't mean anything, you all put too much emphasis on that.
He is not as tough or driven as Isiah, his benching during his euro stint is evidence of that.
Were you see an isiah, i see a telfair. Who knows you might be right....but you wont be.

I live in Wisconsin. Jennings did lead the Summer league in assists, but mostly because he played a lot of minutes and few other guards did.

Jennings averaged a measly 5 points a game last season, pretty lame. Actually, very very lame.

Jennings also sounds alike a real dumbass in the media. I think he is just looking to get a paycheck and do crack next summer.

Sure helps when the coach is racist.

Jennings also shot sub 40% from the floor last season with his amazingly racist jumper that doesn't go in. He might be able to improve it, we'll see.

Frankly, I doubt Jennings will ever be as good as Ramon Sessions or Like Ridnour. He's a quick jack-rabbit, but just a little dude with no other skills yet.

PASS

The Spurs got a better player in the 2nd round than the Bucks got in the lottery. No wonder the Bucks have sucked for 20 years.

As a human being, yes he is.

Just from reading 3 of your posts i can tell you are a Jennings dick rider so its useless to argue. There is more evidence he will be a bust than be a success, last year, when in Europe, playing against professionals he was benched.

I dont know what "Checked for being idiotic." means. Maybe you should be checked for English Comprehension, you should learn to use nouns in sentences.

I don't THabeet will be a bust, he got drafted because of his defense and thats what hes going to do play defense. He wont be a bust if he can't score..
