Could the Phoenix Suns draft Brandon Jennings?

Brandon Jennings has been all over the headlines lately and previously assumed one of the top ten picks of the draft, could he possibly fall to the Phoenix Suns?
The Phoenix Suns have invited several possible draft prospects to come in for workouts today including Earl Clark of Louisville, Austin Daye of Gonzaga, and Brandon Jennings of Italy. Clark and Daye are very athletic forward / small forward type players that can create major defensive problems for teams. Brandon Jennings plays the point guard position.
Brandon Jennings was made famous for his decision to skip college basketball and play professionally in Italy for one year. If this works out for him we could see a new trend with some younger players skipping college and going to Europe for a few million dollars before entering the NBA draft. The initial mock drafts had Jennings being drafted in the top ten. Lately he has slipped further down the draft board and could possibly be available with the 14th pick for the Phoenix Suns. The reason many are speculating that he has begun to fall in the mock drafts is because of his choice to not play college basketball. Playing a year of college basketball would have given him the showcase to show all of his skills and help him secure himself as a lower draft pick. When he played in Italy he struggled in limited playing time and never was able to show what he could do. This decision could inevitably impact which number he is drafted at next week.
Through discussions with the point guard it is obvious that he wants to be a great point guard in this league. He prides himself on his on ball defense as well as his speed and amazing passing ability. He is a bit flashy now and gambles on defense to acquire steals but his potential could be limitless. He was also recently in the spot light for calling out the Spain sensation Ricky Rubio. Jennings stated that Rubio was all hype and he could not wait to face him in the NBA to prove his point. Rubio is projected by many as the top point guard in the draft. Is Jennings all talk or is he ready to really make a splash into the NBA and prove all the teams that passed him up how bad of a decision they made. Many NBA executives have admitted that he has learned a lot in short amount of time and is a very coach able player which can be hard to come across now with all the ego’s some of the young players can carry with them.
If the Suns do decide to draft Jennings it could essentially create a log-jam at the point guard position. Last year the Suns drafted Goran Dragic. He initially struggled under new coach Terry Porter and was never really given the time to make mistakes and develop. Once Porter was out and current head coach Alvin Gentry was approved we started to see some of the potential for Dragic that the Suns organization had seen prior to drafting him. But the Suns are not yet sold he is the point guard of the future for the team. There is not enough playing time to keep Steve Nash happy and develop both of the Suns guards if they decided on Jennings for the 14th pick.
Steve Nash, the returning starting point guard is essentially holding the organization hostage with his demands. The Suns have publicly stated they want to extend Nash’s contract and keep him around so that he can retire as a Sun. Nash will not sign a contract extension until he gets a glimpse of what the roster will look like when the season starts.
He only wants to play for the Suns if they are a championship contending team. (not sure what planet Nash is on) If the Suns were to bring back the team from next season with a few tweaks here and there they will still not be a championship contending team. I think that is obvious to everyone except Steve Nash. That core will never get them a championship so it is time to rebuild. Steve Nash wants no part of a rebuild.
The fans have asked for it and deep down the owner and GM know its time but Steve Nash is only further delaying the inevitable. Plain and simple, rebuild this team to compete with the teams of the future like Portland and Oklahoma City. Start to build the team with young talent that can focus on defense and are willing to do anything it takes to prove they can win at the NBA level. Steve Nash can still be a championship caliber point guard but only with the right cast of players around him and the Phoenix Suns do not have that. The Suns should focus on drafting the best talent available with their pick and not look to fill a specific need. In all actuality the Suns have holes everywhere in their roster with over the hill veterans that have limited time left.
If Brandon Jennings is still on the board at 14 it would be a very wise decision for the Suns to draft him and not screw up another year of bad draft day decisions.

Jennings === poor man's Starbury
There’s a great article on Truehoop about a huge PG workout in Minneapolis.
The feeling I get about Jennings is that he’s supernaturally talented, but he’s hard to handle, ignores instruction and is consequently borderline uncoachable. Only a few players like Kobe ever get over that self-centered bone-headedness, and it took him many years.
Most players like that get worse over time, not better. Playing in Italy didn’t do anything to mature him, which it would have done for any normal kid. That, to me is a warning sign that he’s going to be a headache at some point down the line.

If we go PG, we would be better off with Lawson.

re:
who do you like for your 14th pick?
Don’t forget Jennings is only 19 or something? He is very young and no matter what, anyone that young is not going to come into the league and be considered mature. Hopefully at some point he will wise up and listen to what he is being told. I see alot of potential there but he has a long road to being great like almost everyone coming out of college that didn’t play 3 or 4 years.

My 14th pick?
I haven’t changed much since the NCAAs. I admit to being mystified as to Maynor’s slide in the mocks. I want James Johnson or Earl Clark. If they don’t think Dragic can improve, I wouldn’t be averse to drafting Lawson. I do not believe Jennings falls to 14. However, if he does, we need to take a long hard look at what Pliny called a “poor man’s Starbury”. Usually, I am not enamored to ‘poor man’ comparisons, but this time it fits. He does not receive instruction well, and he doesn’t have the size of Marbs. Just because he can blow by other college guys doesn’t mean he will do the same to Jameer Nelson, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Tony Parker. Remember Rod Foster? Anyone want to envision what Chauncy Billups would do to this guy?
The point guard is the coach on the floor, and the extension of the real coach. And I don’t know if Gentry could mold him.

That's my problem w/ Jennings
I disagree that his speed isn’t going to be able to get him places on the floor and like Monta Ellis he can finish and he is probably already a better passer then Ellis. But his leadership make up worries me. Look at the problems they are having w/ Ellis in Golden State.
He reminds me a bit of White Chocolate Williams but obviously with a different game

from “true hoop about a huge PG workout”
Suddenly Jennings remembered who he was and started moving with the type of swagger that I’d read about. On the first possession of the scrimmage he cleanly picked off a pass and beat Flynn in a footrace for an emphatic two-hander. A few possessions later he took an outlet from Holiday and sprinted down the left side. After beating Lawson with a stutter step, he picked up the ball and put it behind his back to avoid Evans’ help defense. Then he flicked a no-look over his shoulder to Jrue for the easy dunk.
Onlookers collectively gasped.
Two of the next four possessions ended with Jennings freezing his man and hitting 18-footers.
I’m not comfortable saying Jennings should be the player Minnesota takes sixth, especially if Evans is available (I’m seriously impressed). But I can’t think of a player in the draft with more upside than Brandon Jennings.
Even this article said he was the best raw talent on the court. A few years under his belt and a little bit of maturity and you could see a future top 5 pg it the league, easy. He is the yougest of the group and at that age it’s hard to not have an ego.

Two words: Stephon Marbury..
There’s no denying Jennings’ talent (I believe I used the phrase “supernaturally talented”). But the NBA is strewn with the corpses of players who, to use a baseball cliche, had “Million dollar arms, but 5 cent brains”.
Stephon Marbury could be considered the poster-child for that kind of player, who have unlimited talent but are knuckleheads. All I’m saying is that if we draft Jennings, that’s the kind of player we’ll get. Just like you can’t teach height, I don’t believe you can teach character. You either have it, or you don’t, and I just don’t see Jennings maturing to the degree he’d need to be successful in this league.
As for my 14th pick, if Tyreke Evans falls down that far I’d like him. Maybe Earl Clark, or Dejuan Blair if he loses some weight. I tend to like players that have a strong skill (shooting/rebounding/defense/ball-handling), who can pass and shoot (if that’s not their primary skill). I’m not too impressed by raw athleticism, per se, but power for the position is also important. Mental ability and discipline is also important. From that POV, Tyler Hansborough intrigues me, too.
My ideal player would be someone with the physical gifts of LeBron, but the mental gifts of a Nash or Shane Battier.

the 80% game..
Every player in the league has days where he looks better than Jordan or Russell, and days where he plays really badly.
The key for me is to understand is the potential of a players’ average 80% or 90% game, ie the level at which a player performs during the middle 68 games of a season (i.e taking away the outlying awful and great games), because that’s what determines his actual capability. Of course, the level of a player’s absolute best game matters, as you hope the he’ll step up at important times.

not a championship contender?
I beg to differ. The Suns are an Amare Stoudemire heart transplant away from an NBA championship. The Suns came in at 46-36 with STAT on the bench. What would Cleveland’s record be is LeBron missed half a season? We saw what Boston could do without their star. I think Steve sees this. Outside of the Lakers and maybe the Celtics with Garnett playing, who in the league is head and shoulders above the Suns? I am playing the devil’s advocate here. I have criticized the team as much as anyone. But if you say they are not a championship contender, that in the next sentence, you have to say there are only three championship contenders: LA, Boston, and Orlando.

re:
Amare Stoudemire even at his best is not going to lead the Suns to a championship. He made a huge mistake by not playing in the olympics. It probably would have made him a great player instead of what he is today. Did you see the defense those individual gold medal winners came back with this year? Look at Carmelo. He was all over Kobe at various points in that series and nobody expected that from him.
Any comparison to Lebron James leading his team and Amare Stoudemire for the Suns should never be spoken in the same sentence. Not now, not ever. Same with Garnett and Amare. Amare is not anything close to either of those players and I don’t think he deserves to be compared.
When you play great on both sides of the court and you are less conscerned “your touches” . Then you can start being compared to the greats by leading your team. Not complaining.
Fair enough on who you think is a championship contender but Orl must re-sign Turk to stay there. Either way, the Suns are not a championship contender with the veteran core they have. Ain’t gonna happen.
I feel Stat does not deserve the max contract he will insists on. He does not have the desire to be a champion. Champions think team fist not I. That is not the Amare Stoudemire that Suns fans have come to know.

The important point of Hawk’s post was the ‘heart transplant’ point. Not many people would disagree with your Stat statements. I felt he should have been traded last New Years when his value was highest. The ‘give it ’til the trade deadline to see if this team can improve’ plan is partially based on the Amare heart transplant hope. Most of the suns players trade values cannot drop much lower anyhow.

Amare at his best?
Sorry guy, we have never seen that beast, so how do you know? Think a smaller Hakeem or my personal favorite, a cross betweek Karl Malone and Connie Hawkins.
Did you see him in 2004-2005? Did you see him stop Garnett cold more than once? How about how Duncan was helpless against him? It is OK to rag on the guy, and even write him off in frustration, but he has the same level of physical talent as LeBron or Garnett.
He is still only 26. I just think if we let him go it could turn out to be the biggestr mistake we ever made. He has never had a real coach. D’A is a gimmick coach. Gentry is a stopgap. I’m just saying Amare is a unique talent that can do things on the basketball court I have never seen since…. never. You can’t just write him off like you did in your first sentence.

I saw Shawn Kemp do *everything* Amare has done
and a whole lot more, like play consistent defense for an entire series. The ability to dunk or jump high doesn’t make you a real basketball player.
I find myself repeating what I said about Jennings in other posts, only this time I’m talking about Amare. No denying the man’s talent, but if we could find his brain that’d be a start.
I’m all for keeping Amare if he’d only grow up. You say he’s only 26, but he’s been in the NBA surrounded by adults for 8 years, and he hasn’t matured close to the degree I’d expect. His complaints this year were all of the variety “If coach would only play the same system as last year, I’d score a lot more points”.
Furthermore, his play, while spectacular, doesn’t help the team as a whole. We played an entire season without him, and didn’t miss a beat until KT went down with a major injury. We lost Amare at the end of last season, and didn’t miss him nearly as much as we missed Leandro.
My feeling is that if we trade Amare for strong pieces, keep the rest of the squad together, including Stromile Swift, and put in a good preseason together, we’d contend very strongly. I’m convinced Alvins’ 140 pts/game team, with just a little defensive work, would have given the Lakers all they could handle and more.
Still, if they decide to trade Shaq this offseason, I have to say that the best choice would be to also trade Nash, and start the rebuild around Amare, simply because he is that talented, and rebuilding in that way would give a focus and blueprint to the process, defining exactly what kind of team we want.

I didn't watch Shawn a lot
But I don’t remember him being the scorer Amare is. I bet he never broke 20 ppg. I do not thik he had the automatic jump shot Amare has. Of course his rebounding and defense were better, but I was only referring to offense.

Shawn was a beast, as they say.
Broke 20ppg once, while in Cleveland, but while in Seattle averaged close to 18 ppg.
Has to be pointed out, though, that Kemp played with Gary Payton, who is the anti-Nash: a shoot-first point guard noted for his defensive play, and who was the teams’ primary scorer.
The team played at a pace of around 93.5 vs. 95.8 for the Nash era Suns. Plus the Sonics scoring was a lot more balanced with Payton, Kemp, Schrempf and Hawkins all averaging over 15.5 during their finals season.
I hate to use box score stats, but in this case it’s illustrative.
During that finals season Kemp’s line was:
19.6 ppg, 56.1% fpp on 11.9 fga, 11.4 rpg, 2.2 apg, 1.2 spg, 1.6 bpg, 4.0 tpg and 3.8 fpg.
During Amare’s great first year with Nash, his line was:
26.0 ppg, 55.9% fpp on 16.7 fga, 8.9 rpg, 1.0 apg, 0.8 spg, 1.1 bpg, 2.3 tpg and 3.3 fpg.
So, while Amare did score more than Kemp, during what we’ll nominally call their best seasons (since Kemp got to the finals & Amare got to the WCF for his only time), it’s clear that the only reason is because Amare had 40% more shooting opportunities, which is simply an artifact of the different offensive schemes those teams were running, and the fact that Amare was the Suns primary offensive option while Payton was the Sonics’ (15.8 fga in ‘95-’96).
btw, Amare didn’t develop his jumpshot until after that season. Almost all his scoring was on dunks and layups in ‘04-’05.
All I can say since watching them both is that offensively, Kemp & Amare, during their best seasons, were very similar players. Both entered the league young, were raw power players, with Amare having a little more speed and Kemp being a little stronger.
With the exception of turnovers and personal fouls (which is also a function of the defensive & offensive schemes by the team), Kemp clearly contributed more across the board. His defensive contribution, was stellar in comparison to Amare, with a defensive rating of 97 in ‘95-’96, vs 105 in ‘04-’05 for Amare. (lower is better for DRating).

Pliny, I think you are wrong on this one. Jennings is going to be a star in this league and if he does fall to the suns and we don’t take him it would be blasphemy. There is nothing better for someone like him who you have pegged with some sort of leadership/character problem to be put on a team with a bunch of veterans and feel slighted that 13 other teams passed on him. Regardless of his Italy experience I think we would all agree that he would of destroyed playing college ball with kids his own age.

If he becomes a star...
it’ll be in the same way as Nate Robinson… i.e a purveyor of stunt basketball, who’ll be very entertaining, but who won’t win you many games. He’ll play a handful of stellar games, and then completely disappear the rest of the season.
If that’s the kind of team you want, that’s great… I don’t. I want a team that plays team basketball, that passes and defends together, moving the ball to find the best shot, whoever has it. And we should draft accordingly.
All I’m saying is that if we draft Jennings (and that assumes he drops down to #14, which I don’t think will happen), we need to be prepared for a lot of drama. At best, I see the kid as being another Marbury.
Furthermore, the kid hasn’t proven he’s even close to being able to play in the NBA. He did nothing basketball-wise in Italy, a league that’s at the level of good college or maybe NBDL level ball, and nowhere close to NBA ball. Take that and the fact that he’s woefully undersized for the NBA (6-1, 170 lbs, with a skinny frame), and I see a tragedy waiting to happen. Two words: Darko Milicic.
For his own sake, I’d rather Jennings spent another year in Italy and actually develop a game, before coming to the NBA, where he’ll get almost no playing time in his rookie year.
As far as the draft goes, I’d rather have Tyreke Evans, Earl Clark, DeJuan Blair, BJ Mullens or James Johnson..

He actually didn't do too badly in italy.
Even his coach and his teammates said that he deserved a lot more minutes than he thought, and a 19 year old playing in a brand new country/league should get more than a little slack.
Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."

And I remember Kerr saying they are drafting the most talented player at 14. Yes he does have a skinny frame but that is a problem that can be fixed through training in the NBA.

add these to the list.

mo williams: 6’1", 190 lbs.
mario chalmers: 6’1" 190 lbs.
while the latter two of these three have more weight than the others, the size is still the mismatch. and all of them have proven to be competent point guards in the league. even the rookie (now sophomore) mario chalmers had a decent season. saying that jennings won’t do well solely based on his size, wiry frame, etc. isn’t a well based conclusion/argument.

Maynor
ESPN said this:
Everything else about his (Maynor’s) physical makeup screams average at best. And in a draft with physical specimens at the position, that’s not a good thing. Maynor’s best chance to stabilize his stock is in individual workouts where those youngsters had better hope to avoid him, because if he’s in a one-on-one situation against a less-experienced foe he’ll likely eat the kid alive.
I wonder if we are making a mistake not considering him.
