Brandon Jennings, Can he run the point?
Yes he can. I wouldn't mind him as our back up point guard instead of Turner. He could give our second unit some much needed scoring. I think he would come pretty cheap.
i just checked and jennings is averaging about 16 points and 6 assists a game. he shoots the 3 pointer at about 35%. these are not bad numbers at all.
why do you think he would "come pretty cheap"?
The stats you're looking at are for last year, Jennings hasn't played a game yet this season, as he's recovering from an Achilles injury (due back in the next 2 weeks though).
Detroit is set at the PG spot after giving Reggie Jackson a max contract, plus Brandon Jennings is on an expiring contract.
So Jennings has missed about a year of basketball, coming back from a major injury that often leaves players a shell of their former selves, on an expiring contract, and set to come off the bench for his current team. Detroit might take whatever they can get for him.
