BRANDON JENNINGS SAYS WIZARDS 'A TEAM THAT ACTUALLY PLAYS TOGETHER' AFTER DEBUT

Brandon Jennings only suited up for 10 minutes in the Washington Wizards' 114-106 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday, but he's already feeling at home in the nation's capital.

Speaking to reporters after his debut with the team, Jennings explained that, while he's still operating as a backup point guard, the Wizards have represented a welcome change of pace after he spent the first four months of the season with the New York Knicks.

"I'm in the same position I was in New York, but just in a better system for me personally and with a team that actually plays together," he said, per CSNMidAtlantic.com's Chase Hughes.

And while Jennings went scoreless (0-of-3 shooting) with two assists and a turnover in defeat, he received words of encouragement from shooting guard Bradley Beal following the low-key debut.

"It is always tough coming into a new situation," Beal said, per Hughes. "You do not want to come up here and look like you are jacking the ball, but we know him as a scorer, we know him as a facilitator, and that is what we need him to do. We are confident in him. It is only one game."

Looking ahead, Jennings will have a chance to flash his electric scoring prowess Sunday when the Wizards clash with the Orlando Magic.

However, the Wizards should temper expectations just a bit since Jennings needs to get acclimated to a new scheme and has never been particularly efficient.

Although Washington is in desperate need of scoring reinforcements—its bench ranks 29th in scoring at 23.5 points per game, per NBA.com—Jennings is a career 38.9 percent shooter from the field and 34.9 percent percent shooter from beyond the arc.

There will assuredly be speed bumps along the way given Jennings' streaky past, but he could help swing a playoff game or two in Washington's favor if he heats up at the right time.
 
**** that ***** boy Jennings. Play like a team? Son must be completely oblivious to his own play and attitude.




I don't want to just settle for the 8th seed though. 7th aint farfetched, just one more game if ppl hoping for 8th.

now that jennings is gone -

i enjoyed the energy that he brought. i think he might not have enjoyed the lockerroom at all, his personality seems like it clashes very much with Melo. But him being a veteran and knowing the type of deal he was on, probably let it sit passively.

on the court, he gave us a dimension we didnt have . but it was very inconsistent. he was a great teammate when on the bench, clapping for free throwws and big plays, but one thing I really didnt like seeing was how demonstratively upset he would be at his teammates after a turnover, or a broken play, or anything like that.
he'd throw his hands in the air as if to say "damn man what the hell" , or "come on coach u seen that, it wasnt me".

either way, good night and good luck to him. had more passion for the game than 90% of our roster. too bad it didnt work out.

^ that game is not even worth it since its going to be very 1 sided anyway
$250 get in price...I dont think it needs to be said its not worth it. mind boggling nonetheless.
