It has been 10 games since, on Nov. 27th before a nationally televised contest with the OKC Durants, Jalen Rose opined that Brandon Jennings should start the All Star for the Eastern Conference. Since that date, here are Brandon Jennings averages:
17.1 pts/g
6.2 ast/g
2.8 reb/g
0.8 stl/g
2.0 to/g
37% FG%
For the season, Jennings is now averaging less than Gilbert Arenas in points, assists, rebounds, and steals.
And, if you ask this humble blogger, my current vote for guard#2 in the East (besides Dwyane Wade) would probably be Rajon Rondo. Obviously, Rondo is not a prolific scorer (12.0 ppg) but he leads the Eastern Conference in assists (9.5) and leads the NBA in steals (2.5). He also is shooting over 53% from the floor and averages fewer turnovers than every other player in the leagues top 9 assist leaders. Oh, and the Celtics currently share the best record in the NBA with the Lakers at 20-4.
