What does Brandon Jennings think of projected top 3 pick Ricky Rubio?
“Yeah, I think I’m a better player than he is.I just shoot the ball better than he can. The only thing I’ve seen him do sometimes is when he has a home-run pass or something like that. I think the dude is just all hype. I can’t even front. I’m just going to be real with you guys.”
“Well, put it like this: If he was in a workout with me, Jonny Flynn, Jrue Holiday, Ty Lawson, Stephen Curry, he wouldn’t probably be at the top.”
Jennings numbers in italian league: 5,5 points (48% en tiros dos pero sólo un 21% en triples) y 1,6 rebounds y 2,1 assist.
Ricky Rubio numebers in ACB league (the best league in the world after the NBA) 10 puntos (39% en tiros de dos y 42% en triples), tres rebounds y seis assist.”
When jennings played againts ricky in euroleague he was just coming from thre months of an injury and only played 9 minutes….
The funny is that he is in a much better position than jennings in the draft.
Does jennings really think he’s better than ricky???? grown up and go practice then

I AGREE. RUBIO HAS SOME NICE DIMES, BUT OVERALL I THINK YOUNG MONEY IS MORE SUITED FOR NBA BASKETBALL. MORE ATHLETICISM (QUICKS AND HOPS) BETTER J, AND MORE OF A SCORER. CANT WAIT TO SEE B-JENN IN THE NBA. I WISH THE LAKERS COULD SOMEHOW GET HIM.

I also argee. Ricky is good and can crate offense but thats all he does he can’t score that well. Brandon will do better in the nba any ways. Brandon got the explosiveness, passing, dunks, crossover, j-shot, and just overall better than Ricky. I wish I could meet you and play some one on one.

I’ve benn saying that like forever!!!!!!!!!!Rubio has potential but he ain’t got nothing on B.Jennings. Rubio is a good passer but B.Jennings can pass,shoot,has great ball handling skills,is a better point guard,and is more athletic!!!!B.Jennings is obviously the best point guard in the Draft and I think any team that needs a point that doesnt take him over Rubio is making a very,very poor choice!!!!!Good Luck B.Jennings!!!!!!!!!

I gotta be honest…I’m a huge Bucks fan (and season ticket holder) and I couldn’t be more happy with our pick. Jennings potential is through the roof, but to say he’s “obviously” better than Rubio is nothing short of ridiculous.

Jennings is the truth. But when you compare him to Ricky that’s a tricky comparison. Jennings is more of a scorer something like a Allen Iverson. Ricky is more of the Jason Kid type. I think that they both can play in the NBA its just depends on what team they play for. Now If you look at the overall picture then I would say that right now at this point Ricky is the better point guard for the NBA. That is only because he seems more Mature then Jennings. Maturity goes a long way in the NBA. Ricky has been playing professional for yrs. Jennings is just now getting his feet wet. If I had to pick one for my team I would pick Jennings because I am a fan of his and he’s an exciting player to watch. But that’s me. Ricky had to be picked before Brandon in the NBA for some reason and I’m sure NBA scouts know a little bit more about drafting then we do
