Around SBN: The Animated GIFs Of January

In short: It was a bad year for him playing with and against established players. As this author puts it, his season highs were not as high as advertised and came in mostly irrelevant games, and when it mattered and better players were healthy he barely played.

I don't agree in all points, e.g. he neglects to mention skills Jennings improved by all accounts, due to good (assistant) coaches in Rome tutoring him.

And I would side with Jennings that part of it was he and his agent just picked the wrong team stacked with more experienced guards. But it's definitely worth a read of a contrarian opinion for all fans of his game and potential. Especially regarding a player who accuses other players to be "all hype".

Good article

Thanks for the link.

I agree with your assessment that the article probably swings too far into the negative. Most articles spout praise, this one claims almost total failure. I suppose the truth lies somewhere in the middle. But it is a fresh take for sure.

Never forget: I am a complete idiot

It's not fresh

It’s just the recent installment. Ball in Europe has never seen this move as a good one for Jennings or Europe.

That's true - Jennings didn't make many friends with his decision to play in Europe

European basketball players and fans don’t like that Jennings used their league as a minor-league assignment to pass the time until he could go to the NBA. College fans don’t like that he skipped out on college ball to play overseas. The only people that he hasn’t pissed off are the NBA fans that are indifferent towards college ball (such as myself).
