    Not very professional or intelligent though. Could you see Brandon, Lamarcus, or Greg saying these things about a fellow draftee. This outburst has got to be a red flag for Pritchard, who base their opinions on players on other aspects than basketball skills.

    Besides, what Jennings alludes to doesn't even make sense.

    I don't think its wrong that he thinks he's a better player than Rubio.

    Great points.

    I'm not sure that the team has put all their eggs into the Bayless basket yet. But I'm sure they'd love to, if everything goes at it could/should during the next 6-12 months.

    Thinking you're a better player is different from a minute long tirade throwing a fellow professional under the bus.

    Put it this way. How's Jennings going to handle it if he's beat out of the rotation on a team by another player and he's asked how he feels about that?

    That's a fair question. Trash-talking a rival is one thing - but turn that crap against a team-mate and that's a real problem.

    Ginobli, Jason Terry, Maggette & Camby all make some healthy scratch off the bench as well... hell, Kirilenko makes even more

    He hasn't done that to a team mate and if he does it would be justified to call him a poor sport. Nothing he said about Rubio was even that bad, it was low level trash talk, and to me there is nothing wrong with it. If you are more sensitive to it or dislike it very much, fair enough.

    I think he's just immature with his emotions...Poor sport probably isn't fair at this point...Emotional about calls from time to time...To me he's a lot like Iverson except left handed and a better flashy passer who is turnover prone...Second best pg I've seen at the high school level. The best was Tywon Lawson, go figure...
