Against the Bulls/Derrick Rose, Jennings looked like he shouldn't even be starting...although Bogut looked like an All Star.

A good read, and about how I feel about him... He could be really good if he can get his shot down.  And he seems to be working REALLY hard at it.

Bogut is ALMOST a really good player... he is pretty good right now... just needs to be consistantly better... definitely underperforming for an overall #1 pick.

Lew Alcindor he is not.

We'll see how Jennings' body holds up in the second half of the season as opposing coaches get more physical defending him.
Nonetheless, he'd look really good as a sophomore guard in college ball. Passes very well, has excellent court vision, and is mercury bringing the ball up the court.

Maybe not under performing that much...looking back at the last 20 #1's, I would throw him somewhere in the middle of this group based on results thus far.  Put him ahead of Griffin (gimmie I know), Oden, Bargnani, Kwame, & the Kandy Man.  With potential to be as good as, or better than Joe Smith, Derrick Coleman, Larry Johnson, & the Big Dog.

Certainly better than Blake Griffin...

God surely does despise the Clip-show

Portland made a big mistake drafting a 32 year old Oden. Oden got his birth certificate from the same place as US soccer player Freddy Adu.

[GGGG]

Lew Alcindor he is not.

No, but if you look at the draft that year, it is hard to say the Bucks made a mistake.  Bogut is arguably the fourth best player to come out of that draft behind Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Danny Granger.

Yeah, if you do it over you pick Paul, but that wasn't a good draft and the Bucks picked a solid guy.
