Jennings has been injured, but still... That's a pretty elite PF/C combo.

1. Drummond is still very raw.
2. Jennings is elite?

They were playing much better with Jennings than RJax IMO.

Greg Monroe is not a particularly good basketball player.

They've had more than one coach. And SVG has been successful in his last two stints as a HC.

16.0 and 10.5 is pretty good.

Some people here want to give him the max. I wouldn't, though.

Once they got rid of Josh Smith they went on a roll but then Jennings got hurt and they started to struggle again.

I agree, he puts up decent numbers but he's not someone who will get you more wins.

Jennings is out. They were rolling when they ditched the on floor cancer, Josh Smith.

I think Reggie Jackson in his short stint has proven he doesn't have what it takes.

Average players on bad teams always have inflated stats.

Not enough talent.

Monroe is their best player. On a contending team, he'd be the 3rd best player.

Those numbers mean very little. It isn't 1985 anymore.
