To be serviceable (Hill) one has to be playing, hence the term SERVICEable.

I said that there is nothing about Jennings that should make people think he’s a MARBURY-type point guard (physically or mentally) and even less to equate him to Francis. THAT’S my point. I’m not bringing race into it LMAO, I’m saying other than them sharing a continent of birth and the same ethnicity there is nothing about Brandon that should make people compare them in a negative way.

Comprende?

he has no effect on our free agent shopping becuase his contract is so short. which was exactly the point.

was magic johnson white ? no.
was he a passfirst pointguard? yes

so i dont see what race has to with being either a passfirst or scoring pointguard.

HaS, your making us brown folk look silly when you say things like that.

To put him in the Marbury/Francis conversation makes abslutely no sense. Francis was never the passer this kid is at any point in his career. Marbury was a talented passer, but he was more of a scorer first. This kid has to score playing without Redd and no real explosive scorers on the team.

He went into the McDonald’s All-amercan game wanting to break the assist record and probably would have got it if his team shot better. He enjoys passing and is probably the only pure point that came out in this draft (you could say Rubio, but he’s not playing).

There is no real reason to compare him to Marbury and especially not Francis, who was never a true point guard, other than the fact that they play the same position and that they are African-american (they’re not even the same height). So I’m not an idiot, but your claim is idiotic.

Peace.

I can’t lie, I wasn’t a Brandon Jennings fan so I can’t blame Walsh because he passed on him. But we needed a f*cking point guard!

I wanted JRUE HOLIDAY at 8 and DEJUAN BLAIR at 29.

Holiday could have been in Hill’s situation here because he’s a prospect as well – but at least he’s a point guard!

I like Hill though, but the fact that they want him to become a jumpshooter is ridiculous in my opinion.

I do agree that Curry’s shooting stroke would have been perfect for this team, but he is nowhere near the floor general Nash is. Still, I wouldn’t have been upset with the pick, just like I wouldn’t have been upset with a Jennings pick. I just have way more problems with the Knicks management than this draft pick.

You go ahead and wait for Duhon to come around. I don’t know how he could be “much morse”, but he can’t get much worse.

“f the kid had kept his mouth shut , not bad mouth Rubio and just let his game do the talking, another story.”

So because he said Rubio was overhyped it made drafting him “another story”? WTF? Give me a break. Hey it is hard to argue with that statement. I think Rubio was overhyped, people compared him to Magic Johnson and he hadn’t even played (because he refused to) against the other draft prospects or play in an NBA game. Now that’s hype.

“I think the last thing NY needed was to take a gamble on a guy who already demonstrated that he has a big ego. ”

To play in NY you have to have to have a big ego, you have to have extreme confidence in your game and yourself as a person because being in the media capital of the US it can be like living in a fish bowl for a celebrity or professional athlete. I’d argue that he was perfect for this town.

“After going through a year + with the whole Marbury fiasco,”

I know he’s African-American and he’s a point guard, but they do not share the same DNA. Not to mention part of that fiasco was _’antoni’s doing.

Secondly @ ITALIAN stallion, he played in ITALY! Where’s _’antoni’s adopted home? I read somewhere HE fire the Knicks scouts because HE thought HE could do that job. Meanwhile a player that he should be able to find out anything and everything about from his favorite color to his favorite restaurant in ITALY slips right past his moustache?!

He convinced Walsh to draft his godson, why couldn’t he convince him to draft for a position the Knicks were lacking in. EVERYONE in the NBA is talking about Jennings! EVERYONE! The Knicks are the laughing stock again.

Yeah, Free agents are beating down the door to sign here.
