As far as Jennings there are some teams looking real foolish right now. The Knicks are the most obvious I'll bet Nellie wouldn't mind a do over either. I get the feeling that teams dropped him on their boards because they were pissed that he skipped the Euro combine. If that's true it's the talent evaluation equivalent of letting your money get mad.

Weren't there rumors that Jennings was a major knucklehead? I know when I read about his progress from time to time over in Europe, the reports weren't always glowing. I gotta believe that's why he dropped so far, in addition to the fact that he didn't really do much at all while he was over there. At the same time, all you had to do was watch a few highlight reels of the kid to know he was ultra-talented. He definitely intrigued me more at the time than the Jordan Hills and Demar Derozans of the world. I liked Curry a lot though so I can't totally fault Nellie for picking him up even if it turns out to be the wrong choice in hindsight.
