Speed & Quickness at it's Finest: Look out Eastern Conference

The Milwaukee Bucks Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis is the new duo backcourt in the NBA. They have something to prove to the league that they are not just scorers, but they can take their team to the next level. Ellis was blamed for all the mistakes and shortcomings in Golden State, but now he has a fresh start with the Bucks. This was a great trade for the Bucks to send Andrew Bogut to the Warriors for Ellis this past winter.

Jennings is known as a player that is a prolific scorer, but has a bad rap as being a selfish player that doesn’t develop the players around him and Ellis can relate to that. I even had been hearing rumblings that this duo could be the next Marbury/Francis. They both have very similar playing styles and they are both undersized. I can see a correlation between the old Knicks players, but Ellis and Jennings are both younger than the Marbury/Francis experiment and the Bucks have no other options for scoring. So I think that these two will just do fine on the court together.

I really hope that the Bucks see what they have in Jennings, because he is a future talent in this league. This is the same player that scored 50 points in a game in his rookie season. The game just flows for him and at times seems so easy. He should be looking at a contract extension from the club this coming season. If they don’t re-sign him, this team will be in an even bigger hole since the Ray Allen and Glen Robinson days.

This city has been looking for a basketball savior to save this team and I think that they have it in Monta Ellis & Brandon Jennings. Look out Eastern Conference! This club will be competing for at least a 7^th seed in the playoffs. But we all know anything can happen in the playoffs once you’re in. Both players have a lot to bring to their team this year. They have great talent, speed and quickness. Be on the lookout guys for bad matchups, with many teams that won’t be able to contain the dynamic duo. Do you think that Ellis and Jennings can take this team to the playoffs in 2013?
