i'm OK w/Evans but would rather have Derozan or Hill at #8... if those 3 are gone i'm hoping for Curry or Holiday if we stay at #8, but would rather trade down to get more value out of the pick & filling another need... this is of course assuming we don't trade up to go after someone that Donnie's got his eye on, in which case i'd only wanna trade up to get Rubio or Derozan.
Not feeling Jennings at all, TMS?

i loved what i saw from his YouTube clips in terms of his ballhandling & athletic ability, but he seems to have some maturity issues from what i saw the other day w/his comments at the SAC workout... i realize these guys are all young but any red flag at all w/these guys is big to me cuz they all seem so talented from what i've seen of their play.
personally i'd just as soon not take a PG in this draft unless we're targetting Rubio... he's got the hype but i think he's got the game to back it up myself... Rubio or Derozan or Hill for me... i think i'm looking at any of those 3 as my top choices right now... obviously no chance at Griffin otherwise he'd be on the list... Evans intrigues me because of his size at the PG position, as does Holiday in some respects, while Curry's just an awesome shooter & seems like he's well grounded, but when i envision guys like Rubio, Derozan or Hill running the fastbreak, i think it would make for some real excitement at MSG for the next several years.
when i look at Jennings i see a lot of Stephon Marbury in his game... i don't want my PG to be a ball dominator who looks to score the ball... i want him to be a ball distributor & a defensive player on the perimeter, & from what i've seen of Jennings' game footage, he seems to excel more as a score first type PG using his quickness & ballhandling ability to get past guys & get to the hole, & sometimes struggles when he tries to force the issue on passes, & doesn't seem to be the defensive player that Rubio seems to be... to me Rubio just seems like a crafty player who will decieve u & frustrate u w/his quickness & actual length, so he gets a lot of steals that way & will probably be a great ballhawk on D... his court vision looks superb from the highlights i've seen also... definitely not the athlete that Jennings is but w/his size & passing ability i think he'll make an excellent PG for years to come... i think Jennings will too but not really the style of PG i'd be looking for, at least not if i were the GM of this franchise.
