I think they just didn't like him for this team. There are lots of guys with the talent of an AI, Steph or Steve Francis but they may not be THE guy to lead your team. They'll have many opportunities to get the lead guard that is right for this team.


The other thing that I would not forget is that Milwaukee is not the city of sin that NYC is. Maybe the Knicks thought that Jennings would not be a fit in NYC for some reason. I have never heard anyone say this, and Jennings may not be fazed by the temptations offered up to a young player by the Big Apple, but it is something that might have been considered when they were thinking about drafting him.

I believe when Jennings went overseas his mom moved there to be with him, also his younger brother.

I don't think he would be "HOME ALONE" in NY LOL

Gallo is doing ok

Wow! Donnie is already copping pleas. In the anti-isiah environment, they weren't going to draft somebody like Jennings no matter how good they thought he might be. They didnt even give him a chance and get to know him. They went safe and pedestrian. Major screw up

Yeah, I don't know. Nate is better than Jennings and he's probably more mature as well

I'm very worried about the direction on this team. We were supposed to change the culture, but I still see a bunch of losers that don't care.

Walsh hasn't drafted very well and isn't building anything. Hill is so raw and doesn't know how to move with the ball he is much more of a project, the Jennings was before the season started.

The hardest positions to fill are center and point guard and we had a chance to get special players at both positions. I would have liked to see him make more of a play for ariza in the offseason, at the mid level he was a steal, and could have made a trade more viable with Chandler, who to me looks like he isn't working on his game, his handle is garbage and he seems lost.

Walsh killed us by not making the jefferies deal and for some reason thought we should draft someone that is years away and plays lees position.

There was enough info on Jennings in highschool, get the tapes, talk to the scouts and do your homework. Even Lawson, wtf is this guy doing. I can't support this team anymore and no one else should either. You hand 10 million to Chris Duhon. Jamal tinsely? We might have to or trade him for AI. I don't need a PG that takes horrible shots and when he is wide open insists on kicking it out.

we need someone to save 2010 because the nets played the celts tough last night undermanned and we are getting blown out by lottery teams, there isn't passion, the coaching is a joke right now.

let's put in perspective that jennings is playing on the bucks. of milwaukee. if hill was on the bucks, he'd be putting up 11/6

WE AIN'T NOWHERE WITH THIS BUM CHOKER IN CARMELO. GIVE ME STARKS'S 2-21 ANY DAY OVER THIS LACKLUSTER CLUSTEREFF.
