I love him and think he can be a big part of this team in the future. He'll never be a superstar, but if he can develop to be a good defender, I'd be thrilled to have him as our SG in the future.

He's never gonna be a huge creator on Offense I don't think, but i could easily see him as a spot-up shooter and decent defender who can average like 15 points a game and with Jennings ability to create plays and dish and even Bogut possibly drawing a double and dishing to him as well, he could be the perfect fit if he steps up on D.

I think he'll continue to get more chances to play very soon since Delfino is just awful. Skiles loves defense though and Meeks just isn't there yet to be an all-around player.

He's getting some playing time with Redd out and so far he's been playing pretty well. He started out pretty rough but they keep playing him and he's steadily improved. His 19 points and 4 3-pointers were key in a win the other day. He's showing to be a good shooter and I'd imagine he's going to keep in the rotation even when Redd does return.

Agree. with Meeks it's all about him continuing to get more PT and he'll be fine

Brandon Jennings >>> Whoever your team drafted

princefielder28 · 11-14-2009, 10:03 PM

What an incredible game!!! Love watching this team

Whistler6 · 11-14-2009, 10:05 PM

My mind is blown. I'm so ashamed to be a Buck's fan right now...I haven't thought boo about them for probably a year until the draft and now this season. Yet, all of a sudden I am stoked for this rookie. Incredible game tonight.

cvv84 · 11-14-2009, 10:22 PM

All I have to say is FINALLY!!

Years of good intentions from Larry Harris and poor cap management buried this team in the lottery but finally we're seeing glimmers of light.

This is how we play when we aren't forcing shots with Redd. The Bucks at 5-2 and Jennings scores a career high 55 points. Put that into perception, LeBron James career high is 56 points.

Jennings and Bogut seem to have some good chemistry too. Even if we don't do much this season its going to be fun watching this team develop.

TitleTown088 · 11-15-2009, 03:50 AM

Jennings is just wow. I dont like the NBA one bit and I relish in the chance to watch watching him play.

yo123 · 11-15-2009, 04:01 AM

**** You Ricky Rubio!!!!!!!!

Packystan · 11-17-2009, 05:17 PM

Tough loss last night. Great shot by Dirk. Another solid game by Jennings, and the bench played great, specifically Ersan. Man, I cant help but think about how good this team would be if they still had Richard Jefferson.

Jennings - Redd - Jefferson - Ilyasova - Bogut, thats pretty legit.

cvv84 · 11-18-2009, 09:27 PM

Brandon Jennings sets another record - most points scored by a rookie in the 1st 9 games, eclipsing Shaq.

princefielder28 · 11-20-2009, 07:57 PM

With Bogut out 2-4 weeks it'll be interesting to see how much more Jennings can carry the team

So far so good.

princefielder28 · 11-21-2009, 09:12 PM

Ersan with a very nice game tonight

Packystan · 11-22-2009, 03:44 AM

This team has so many good 3 point shooters, and the best part is, we've been playing without our best one.

They've always played better when Redd was out, in my opinion, but they haven't really started winning without him until this year.

There's also been quite a few Brandon Jennings stories out lately if anyones interested:

Well its back to reality for the Bucks. They started out hot but have fallen flat the past 2 weeks. On the bright side they've still been competitive and Brandon Jennings has the opportunity to jump the hurdle that is the NBA adjusting to his game. A healthy Bogut would be great but overall we just haven't been playing complete basketball lately.

Whistler6 · 12-05-2009, 01:51 PM

Growing pains...I think if we were fooling ourselves thinking Jennings could carry this team the entire season the way he was for a couple weeks. With time and hopefully healthy Redd and Bogut, they can start to "mesh" as a team.

Still, early season predictions were what less than 18-20 wins? I think if they can be competitive, I'll be more than excited to keep rooting/following them.

cvv84 · 12-12-2009, 10:03 PM

God do I ******* hate Michael Redd...

Whistler6 · 12-12-2009, 10:04 PM

Tonights game = turnovers and piss poor free throw shooting. Hard to watch them squander that 10 point lead.

Agree. as great as he was in the past, he is now a player who is holding this team back. all you have to do is look at the results when he's hurt.

cvv84 · 12-12-2009, 10:11 PM

Great defense by the Blazers in the 2nd half. The Bucks aren't getting good looks and are taking floaters. They have a chance but I can't believe that Skiles kept Redd in the game seeing he's still rusty.

Whistler6 · 12-12-2009, 10:15 PM

I flipped on the Video Game Awards on Spike when the game was 95-89. 2 minutes later I switch back to see postgame, and there is Mr. Jennings tying the game at 95-95 with 4 seconds left.

It's saying something when you trust a rookie with the entire game on the line.

Thanks. I think its the 2nd time I reached the mark though. I though I had 1030 posts like 2 weeks ago then it went down. Figured something got deleted or whatever.

Anyways its double OT and I love seeing BJ with the ball in his hands at the end of the game. Good developing time for the kid.
