Jennings in "Detroit": a reasonable risk?

Pistons" should have stayed away from Brandon Jennings. But club president Joe Dumars decided to walk the road of risk to the end.
It's not even funny: when I was going to write stuff that looks remarkably like a lack of interest in the NBA outlived its time in the "Milwaukee" Brandon Jennings - as he was immediately traded. Once I formulated in my head the idea that "Detroit"
(and rumors of negotiations between the "Pistons" and "Buck" went) is to stay away from the talented but moody point guard - he buys a ticket to the Motor City ... Well, done can not be changed, so I have to analyze what has happened already. With only one note: to assess the "Milwaukee" for this trade I did not think it necessary at all. I do not like much in the transfer policy of the club (strictly speaking - nothing at all), but in this particular situation they were cornered. After Jennings broke exchange for Jeff Teague of "Atlanta", it became clear that the bosses of the team and its main playmaker spoiled relations completely. And, as luck would have it, the market suddenly left wanting to barter for Jennings. In fact, to get from the "Detroit" for him though something was hit. Get Brandon Knight, Chris Middleton and Slava Kravtsov - even more so. Cheap and cheerful. The issue is closed. If "Buck" generally float on the river, which does not fall into the ocean, it's "the Pistons' made ​​a move, the danger of which is a mirror image of its potential value. And this is the second such move Joe Dumars for a month! What is supposed advantages of signing Jennings? Here is more or less clear: "Bad Boys" were a talented basketball player, until recently considered one of the most talented in the NBA. And at 23, he has not ceased to give promise, agree. Last season, Jennings scored more than 17 points and made ​​more than 6 assists average per match - being, mind, absolutely dissatisfied tactics team and his role in the game, "Bucks." Do not progressed? And you try to progress, playing the first number in the same team with Monta Ellis . fact that Jennings individualist, known to all. Yes, he focused primarily on the attack playmaker. So what? This in itself is not bad and not good. Playmaker - a person who creates the attack. Including myself. Is Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook played a fundamentally different way? I'm not even on the style, and of individualism as such. By the way, Jennings problems with the "shot-selekshn" (a term denoting a player's skill to find the correct and timely opportunity to throw), no more than the same Westbrook . Growing pains and temperament. Is Curable? The near future will show. Incidentally, speaking of bad throws and a low percentage of Jennings, people somehow forget that Brandon Knight is exactly the same problem. Decent free three-pointer - and in general everything. The remaining components of his attacking arsenal clearly "raw" (Knight in the defense is clearly stronger Jennings). And passes the now ex-quarterback, "Detroit" is no better than the guy on whom he was exchanged. Two seasons have not convinced Dumars is that of Knight will dazzle good "first". A strong (and preferably young) "first" team needs. Success with "bank guarantee" would Radzhon Rondo, but of him failed to agree. In the current environment Jennings was probably the best option. Risky, do not argue. But this risk is largely offset by the contract. Three years and 24 million? This is a great contract, anyway. In "Pistons" is now strong young part-level play-offs, payment system is healthy - and expiring (and unnecessary!) Contracts for more than 17 million in the hole! Dumars confidently pulled the club out of the pit into which he himself had once pushed. But money is money, and the floor will be released in autumn Brandon Jennings and Josh Smith . These highly gifted young people are almost certain to return to the podium portion of protracted crisis of disappointed fans, but the question is: how many headaches they bring new head coach "pistons" Mo Cheeks ? If both become "water" in every game the way they used to in the his former teams, it will be a nightmare Motown. In sezone-2012/13 Jennings and Smith threw exactly an average of 15.6 times per game. Let's take. First add here throw from last year's 13.1 Greg Monroe . Then try to imagine how many attempts will be put Andre Drummond , who, no doubt, will "play" very active. A year ago he had a measly 5.7 attempts - and largely for that Lawrence Frank paid position. Will Drummond right to at least a dozen shots per game? Without a doubt. And how many times will throw notebook sniper Kentavius ​​Caldwell-Pope , a newcomer this summer, on which great expectations? Hardly less than Rodney Stuckey (9.8 shots per game in chempionate-2012/13), right? likeness of the results: there are roughly 65 shots at the five (!) players, we can provisionally enroll in the starting five. For example: "Hit" in the last season the whole team performed an average of 77.4 attempts per game - the lowest rate in the entire league. But most of all cast ... That's right, "Buck" (87.8 throws). Now materialize hanging in the air the question: Which of the above five players, "Detroit" attacks with at least a decent percentage? That's right, no one. So by what standards are going to seek the updated "Pistons?" Well, of course, there is still a theoretical idea to re Jennings, to make him more playing partners. He gave, in the end, 19 "assists" in a memorable match with the "Toronto!" That's just me here for Cheeks bad news. The fact is that when, for whatever reason Jennings throws than 12 times per game, he brings his team ... minimum use. Transmission in such cases, it gives even less, and the percentage of hits in the game ... getting worse! 9.5 points and 6.2 "assists" in a nightmarish 33.9% hits in the game ... Given that Brandon is not "plowman" in defense, it can be stated that if he is not soloing, he simply disappears from the site. word, " Detroit "in general transfigured this summer, remains a mystery. Risks that went Dumars, large enough - but the benefit that it "shines", can be considerable. Both Smith and the more Jennings, according to their own words, are motivated by very much. Teach their wits called Rasheed Wallace and Chauncey Billups , an encouraging. Monroe and Drummond ready to take the next step, the young composition as a whole is going to be a very "watchable", which is important for the club now. Well, if it proves to be more competitive and, in the summer of 2014 on free dumarsovskie 17 million for sure will watch with interest the many strengths free agents. Unless ...
