But Jennings is by far a better playmaker, which is the number one requirement of a point guard, and he's three years younger. I'm going to have to place my chips on Jennings at this point.I have curbed enthusiasm on both. Douglas is more mature so his learning curve in the NBA isnt as great. He's bigger and stronger than Jennings. He's a more polished BB player. 4 years at Florida. He was a featured scorer and the ACC defensive player of the year. Every year you see 4 year college players slip down because they dont have a 40 inch vert or a 7'4 wingspan but there are a ton of good players in the NBA that werent lotto picks. Hopefully we have 2 when we resign Lee. Rondo? Rondo don' shoot 3's like TD. Toney is light years ahead there. Rondo is .252 career from 3 and TD outweighs him by 30 As for running a team on the floor (which I say consists of offense and defense) TD all the way. He'll learn about closing out. I mean if you got 3 guys ahead there has to be somebody open right ;) Bill Simmons on Tyreke Evans
"The prototypical 0-guard: Someone who handles the ball all the time, looks for his own shot, gets to the rim at will and operates best if his teammates spread the floor to watch him."

We are comparing the 29th pick on a lottery team to the 10th pick playing major minutes on the 5th seed in the east.consider yourself dumbfounded! I have said a few times one of the advantages someone like Joe Johnson would bring to the table to take pressure off the playmaking duties Douglas would have. Toney could start at PG, but play off the ball some and defend the opposing 1. Thats an idea situation for him. check this out: http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/?year=2009&sort2=ASC&draft=0&pos=0&sort=14 "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs
