The Pistons last year when they locked themselves into two players long term that will help ensure they finish with the ~10th pick in the draft for the 3 years and that's it...
Or the Bucks, who have a shoot first PG that gets way too much credit around here, even though he shot 37% from the field last season, and will never be a good defender. Teaming him up with a SF like Maggette and a PF like Gooden? Bogut is in basketball purgatory.

His jumper is smooth and the technique is fine, shooting as bad as he did in the second half of the season was gross, but it didn't ruin his game at all. His dime numbers for a 20 year old rookie were pretty much unheard of as were his steal totals, and you make a ridiculously ignorant statement about his abilities on the defensive side of the court (even Hollinger has written on this and Pelton had him second team all NBA D).
And Salmons was on his team for the last third of the season, while he was mired in his shooting slump. His dime numbers were great and he came back alive in the playoffs.
I don't know if you've ever heard of the rookie wall, but he hit it, hard.
Who on that team is a scorer besides Bogut and a 1/3 of a season of Salmons? Christ, that team was built to play D and nothing else. Ersova was their fucking second option behind Bogut for most of the season. That is just plain terrible.
And also, keep on ignoring that as a 20 year old he managed to call the D on a Skiles team.
Sure that team isn't a title contender, but w/ Melo resigning they decided to fix their weaknesses (getting the ball in the hoop) and try and win a playoffs series or two over the next couple years instead of sitting on their 2011 wad. They almost did win a series last year and will be much better next year unless the team has a Skiles melt down.
As for preseason chatter, that has to be what you are talking about because people called Jennings to small to play D before the season, then he stepped on the court and everyone STFU about his D.
His 55 point game was a curse, no doubt.
I mean, fuck, you act like 20 year old PGs that are their teams leaders on D and O grow on trees.
Saying what you said about his D point blank tells me you never watched him play. Honestly, how many games did you watch and focus on him? A half?
As for his jumper his biggest problem is that he is reliant on scoring from deep because he struggles to finish around the rim if his floater isn't falling (he shot like 20% at the rim and the floater is the hardest shot to master). It's the same problem Aaron Brooks had before he figure out how to work that floater more consistently despite being slight of frame. If Jennings increases his atrocious around the rim totals (which anyone w/ half of a brain figures he will, by a lot, even Rondo got proficient w/ the floater) his shooting % skyrockets from where it is. He's proficient from three and from mid-range. If you are going to have a hole in your game that kills your shooting % having it be w/ in 10 feet of the hoop is where you want it.
You're not just misinformed on Jennings game, you are pretty much blatantly ignorant.
He's no golden god by any means, but for a 20 year old point guard prospect he's pretty fucking solid.

You use the excuse that the low fg% is because he had to do it all himself, yet you don't consider what having the ball in his hands often did to his assists totals. Why is that?
