@Jason Tess He can't finish at the rim. Can't shoot. Has terrible shot selection. Is way too small. I know it was just an exhibition, but the bigger, stronger John Wall seriously abused him in the fourth quarter of the Drew/Goodman game. He's not slow thinking at all. He's a wonderful game manager and has a good idea of when/where to pass. @Ted I don't believe Jennings will ever make an all-star game. Now with the sheer depth of talent at the PG position. He needs to overcome Rose/D-Will/Wall/Rondo for the rest of his career. That's not happening. And he does want to get the ball to Bogut. His PNRs with Bogut are a little different from a PNR with anyone else. He doesn't attack the basket immediately, but curls a bit so Bogut has time to cut to the basket. When Jennings and Bogut's two-man game gets going, the offense can really hum.

@Jason Tess Brandon Jennings ceiling IMO is Kenny Anderson. Aka fast, flashy, does cool stuff, wins games but won't win you championships. Jennings over his career will probably sneak into an All Star game, maybe 2 if he's lucky but he's not gonna be an All NBA point guard (neither was anderson) Anderson's career PER is 16.4 which is above average, but not outstanding. Currently in 2 seasons Jennings is exactly 15.0 which is league average. Anderson could score alot of points but realized he was better suited as a point guard instead of a Stephon Marbury-like combo guard. When Jennings realizes he's better off deferring to guys like Stephen Jackson and Andrew Bogut the team will be better off and so will he.

I still do not understand why this guy is not a star yet. Is he too small, or a slow thinking, as I was there the night he scored 50 and he can play.

@Ted We (mainly because of me) may have overcompensated a bit on some of the older guys as not to show too much bias toward the players of the last five years. But I stand by our choices. Thanks for the kind words, really appreciated it.

I had Jennings #8 on my list just because he was the one ESPN drooled all over during the Hawks series and by going 7 games and losing in the first round techincally he was one of the leaders of the 2nd best Bucks team in the last 20 years and Had the “man who’s name is still to come” been healthy i think it woulda been a surefire bet they would have been in the 2nd round and had a chance to maybe steal a game or two from the Magic.

I’d just like to say that this has been a great list and great reads so far though, the list I made has more or less been the same, I had Ford rated a little higher out of sentimental value and didnt have Brickowski on my list at all, but i yield to those who have more knowledge about the bucks than i do, as i have only been watching since late 90′s. Keep up the good work guys!
