Jennings not impressed with Rubio
ESPN.com news services
Brandon Jennings won't be joining the Ricky Rubio fan club anytime soon.
The promising point guard who skipped college in order to play professionally in Europe was quick to call out Spanish international and fellow hot-shot prospect Rubio for being overhyped, SI.com reports.
"Yes. Because he played in the Olympics, he's been playing pro ball since he was like 14. So there it is right there," Jennings was quoted as saying. "I can't wait to play him, though, in summer league. I'm just letting you know that now. I can't wait.
"Yeah, I think I'm a better player than he is," Jennings told reporters after working out for the Sacramento Kings Friday. "I just shoot the ball better than he can. The only thing I've seen him do sometimes is when he has a home-run pass or something like that. I think the dude is just all hype. I can't even front. I'm just going to be real with you guys."
Jennings also feels there's a number of young playmakers more capable than the Spanish teenager.
"Well, put it like this: If he was in a workout with me [and fellow point guard prospects] Jonny Flynn, Jrue Holiday, Tywon Lawson, Stephen Curry, he wouldn't probably be at the top," he was quoted as saying in SI.com.
When asked about their head-to-head matchup last year, the 6-2 Jennings boasted, "Well, when I played him, he had zero points, two assists and two turnovers. So you tell me how that went."
Records of the game from the Euroleague's official Web site showed Rubio went scoreless with three assists and three turnovers in just nine minutes of play. Jennings posted 12 points and two assists in Lottomatica Roma's 97-93 loss to Rubio's DKV Joventut.
In his latest mock draft projections, ESPN.com's Chad Ford has Rubio being taken third by the Oklahoma City Thunder and Jennings going to the Phoenix Suns with the 14th pick.

I think Flynn, Curry, and Jennings are in a class by themselves. Lawson might be a step below.
He's going to be in for a surprise lol.
But to give Rubio his due...and perhaps Jennings being hot air. DraftExpress wrote a story about the meeting between Rubio and Jennings and said it was more or less a draw.
Lawson is about 3 or 4 notches below those other players listed.
rubio could be the next rudy out of europe, fkn overrated
I wish Jrue would stay in LA and play for the Lakers.
rubio would be crushed in the nba, playing 82 games. dude is a stick
he's running his mouth because Rubio is european.
these blackies think it's ok to run your mouth like that agasint white people

KKK forum
sons my Brandon Jennings speaks da troof about that got being overrated just cause he's white.
They are both over rated but I would still take Rubio over Jennings.
This has to be the worst PG draft ever
Most overrated probably. Doubtful it's the worst, but time will tell.
Rubio will be a star. He's like Nash 2.0 if he can get a good Jump Shot, and he's only 18.
Jenning will be a backup PG
end of story
yall are pretty stupid, ever heard of the country Spain? It's in Europe but they are Spanish, not white.
or maybe because he got owned in the euroleague?
Either way...white powrrrr!
or maybe because he got owned in the euroleague?
Either way...white powrrrr!
The people that live in Spain are not white?
Thanks, I never knew that.
Strange that every Spaniard I've ever met and nearly all of those I've seen via the media have been white.
He realizes he ed up by running to Europe instead of playing college ball, and his draft stock still blows, so he's gonna say and do whatever he can to prop himself up. I hope this guy fails.
LOL
Spain is in Europe. Spaniards are white. The reason they speak Spanish is because it's their ancient language, whereas Mexico, South America and Central America speak Spanish only because of the Spanish Conquistador's and explorers during the Spanish Empire and Conquest of the New world.
They are white.
LMFAO "he isn't white he's Spanish"
FYI Steve Nash isn't white, he's Canadian.
QFT
Either way...white powrrrr!
Word, bro!
That's probably the second most stupid thing I ever heard.
The first being the holocaust really happened.
