Who i would get in the draft with #7

1- Brandon Jennings
2- Tyreke Evans
3- Jrue Holiday

I would take Brandon Jennings with the seventh pick. I know some people are skeptical about his defense and would rather have Jrue Holiday because of defensive purposes, but Brandon Jennings is a true point guard and Jrue Holiday is not. Jennings receives high marks on his quickness and athleticism. He has a good jump shot that he can create on his own and is excellent at handling the ball. He does not lack confidence and has unlimited potential. His defense may not be as good as Holiday’s, but Jennings does stay in front of his man and get steals.

Overall, I’d take Jennings because he is a true point guard that displays basically all of the tools necessary to be a true point guard.

and only a UCLA hoops fan watched much of Holiday, no one on this board can make an informed decision. It is simply do you prefer blondes or brunettes, vanilla or chocolate. Since I prefer Blondes and Chocolate I would go with Holiday. Seems as more time goes by so do the so called experts.

He was being recruited as a combo guard out of Campbell Hall. He is not a pure PG, the only pure PG’s in the lottery are Rubio, Jennings, Lawson, and Flynn. I’ve mentioned it earlier, that regardless if he was played as a 2 or 1 with the Bruins, he never showed glimpses of stardom in him, he was playing just adequate in a mediocre Pac-10 division.
Both are boom or bust picks, but I’d rather go with the one who was the better HS recruit, who’s a real PG, and has that star/superstar flair to him.

Holiday doesn’t appear to be a true PG as many have stated. However I believe he has had the opportunity to demonstrate that he is not. Jennings is clearly a PG but I don’t don’t see him as a future starter. Holliday has much more potential and a high ceiling.

with that being said the Warriors have way too many unresolve issues; What to do with Crawford and what do we receive for him?, Marco B trade?, what to do with Wright?, Does who we draft affect Morrow’s PT?, Maggette status?…..

Cap Jack, Maggs, and Monta swallow at least 90 minutes…….I don’t think maggs and Jack can co-exsist on this team to be successful.

…….anyway Rubio’s the wet dream…future star…Jennings wont fall to 7….I love Ty Lawson but everone says he’s too short along with Flynn…….at least it will be interesting to see who ends up as the next best thing to Rubio——5 Years from now—-

there’s also the very real chance that both these guys are role players in the NBA (some would even extend this to “anyone outside of blake griffin” http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?name=katz_andy&entryID=4142213 )

outside of their high school highlights, it doesn’t seem like either of these guys really stood out in the college or european game.

weren’t at the combine to compare to the rest of the field

we trade Beans Rocky and Maggs (wow thats a lot of nicknames lol) for Amare stoudamire. it worked on nba trade machine so what u guys think.

do you think that this is a good deal?? Brandan wright and Jamareo Davidson for Tyrus Thomas

I have made my decision now. I want the Warriors to take Brandon Jennings. He said that he improved a lot on his defense and after I listened to his interview, he seems to be a young mature kid

look at this

another one

you still think Brandan Wright is better??

By far this has been my most successful post ever. Thank you guys for commenting keep em comin!!!

right now i dont even want jennings or holiday i think theyre both overrated

right now apart of me is thinking that the second half of the first round is more promising than the first half (aside from blake griffin)…it wouldnt hurt to trade down the pick for a late first rounder and then get another solid player as well. we could pick up a guy like terrence williams, eric maynor, marcus thornton, or sam young etc
