More than anyone has really cared to listen. <a target="_blank" href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/scott_howard-cooper/06/12/jennings.rubio/index.html" target="_blank">He made claims stating he is better than Ricky Rubio</a>. He <a target="_blank" href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3491998" target="_self">traveled overseas</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/26857566/" target="_blank">earned over six figures in endorsements</a> instead of playing a year in the NCAA.</p><p>He constantly bucks the system and we are all guilty of shrugging off his words.</p><p>He walked in late to the draft to show up David Stern after announcing the 14th pick, Earl Clark. Jennings was the 10th pick. Here is a clip of Jennings bucking the system yet again.</p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="295" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/znX9_GlNY6U&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/znX9_GlNY6U&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p><p>He has had his <a target="_blank" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/08/AR2008070802714.html" target="_blank">academic humiliations of 3 low SAT scores</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/14895-arizona-recruit-brandon-jennings-shines-in-mcdonalds-all-american-game" target="_blank">hype dating back to his McDonald&#8217;s All American game</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="http://nba.fanhouse.com/2009/06/28/brandon-jennings-acting-up-again/" target="_blank">self-inflicted embarrassments</a> while discussing his draft results.</p><p>We should listen to Brandon Jennings. The man has a huge chip on his shoulder.</p><p>Notwithstanding it&#8217;s a Summer League performance, the kid is on a tear. Through July 13th, he has 15.3 points and 8.3 assists a game. His steady improvement is evident every game.</p><p>Monday he finished with 14 assists, 7 steals, and 13 points on 5-13 shooting.</p><p>His overall 35% field goal percentage will improve with time.</p><p>Jennings called out Rubio, claiming he is the better player of the two. Although you might not agree, statistically, he is one of the best PGs in Summer League.</p><p>In a guard-rich draft bearing Rubio, Stephen Curry, Jonny Flynn, and Tyreke Evans, Jennings is rising to the top as the purest PG.</p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a target="_blank" href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=brandon jennings&amp;iid=4790019" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0pt none;" title="Should I tweet... facebook.....naw, I'll youtube this one!

After all, he’s backing up his words with his game.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://protectthepaint.com/2009/07/15/we-should-all-listen-to-brandon-jennings/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
