    Jennings exploded against the Golden State. 55 points is a huge achievement, but it was done against a team known for NOT playing defense.

    If Jennings can score 20 points against a team like the Lakers, then I'll be impressed.

    Yeah, I was just confused. I mean, Sessions? That's such a random name to throw out there.

    He's not a STAR yet but soon will be.

    Just keep his foot on the gas and show what he's got in his tank.

    He's getting there. he's " in between game " still is a little lacking, but he's "supposed" horrid court vision is getting better. he also needs to cutout those silly bounce passes from half court on transition offense. there just to easy to pick off

    Its too early. But if he can improve his game to game consistency, he's on the cusp.

    Players with:
    >= 18 ppg
    >= 5 apg


    Chris Paul
    LeBron James
    Dwyane Wade
    Brandon Jennings
    Brandon Roy
    Deron Williams
    Gilbert Arenas
    Aaron Brooks
    Monta Ellis

    GM DM will hate this thread, ROX will surely overpay another player. No, Brooks is not star yet.

    No way. Needs to stop making dumb passes, and get more assists before he can be classified as a star pg.

    he can make bad passes at times and many times he jumps in the air about to shoot then passes off when hes about to get blocked.

    needs consistency first but hes on his way

    Haha I feel sorry for Lakers fans (not really). Their PG Fisher makes other PGs look like all-stars.

    it's funny how some people are doubting BJ now. AB will never score 55 points, even if it was warriors. he is good, but not that good. if bucks called DM trading BJ for AB straight up, DM wouldn't even think about it.

    I believe he will only get better but too soon to be called a star. He hasn't even been a starter for a full season yet so give him some more time.

    No, not at all.

    We're pushing the tempo and he has far more control of this team than he ever would on a good to great team. Before the season started I thought he would see some stat inflation and that seems to have held true.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see a huge drop off in his production when Yao comes back.

    AB is on a Star Trek. Not there yet, but on the road, cutting through defensives like a Blade Runner.

    Needs consistency. I'm tired of how quickly the term stars are given out in the league overall.

    When he's a star, you don't have to debate it. Everyone knows it and it'll be consensus. Right now, he's light it up on any given night, but he'll need to play consistently over a course of a season or two to be entitled to that moniker.
