Start A Franchise: Kemba Walker Vs Brandon Jennings...

[EveryManALion]

lets say it is a weak draft class with Jennings 1A and Walker 1B. You had the number 1 pick. Who would you take?

So tanking another year?

I don't like either one as my starting PG. Both are chuckers, but if I had to I would choose Kemba because he's a better defender.

To be fair, Kemba is a chucker as well.

I like Kemba more. I don't know if he's necessarily the better player.

You wouldn't understand, Melo is your franchise player.

lol

Brandon Jennings.

I still believe he has the potential to be a perennial all star.

Will he ever put it together is the real question.

Players who never win anything have heart. Basically a BS argument made up by the fanboys.

intangibles matter.

Also, Kemba is younger and he might still develop into a decent star player. Not likely, but higher chances of that happening than Jennings.

I would definitely go with Kemba because I could see him as the starting PG on a contender. He is a much better defender and a better competitor than Jennings. People forget that Kemba was essentially a defensive stopper as a freshman at UCONN. He evolved into the role as the teams offensive leader which shows that he is willing to understand his role on the team. Kemba is a chucker by necessity. The Bobcats are bad and have nobody that can create for themselves. Kemba shouldn't be the best scorer on a team but he is for them.

Jennings is more talented in almost every aspect offensively. More talented passer, shooter, etc. However, his defense is downright awful sometimes. Poor off ball principles, lazy help, and only occasionally gives legit on-ball effort. And heart might sound like a cop out response but at some point it has merit. If you are that lazy on defense...then you are willing to put in the work needed to win (aka no heart).

I really like Jennings talent, but I don't see improvement at this stage. I think you have a higher probability of building a winning team with Kemba at point.

neither is anywhere close to being a franchise cornerstone
