Ahhhh only Brandon Jennings… The Detroit Pistons point guard recently said the team struggles with offense because they don’t shoot during practice. Well despite the lack of practice I’m sure he must’ve known this play just wasn’t smart.
Brandon Jennings is a career 38% shooter from the field, and is shooting a career low 36% from the field this season. Jennings has stood out as someone who would not avoid taking a shot just because it wasn’t sensible. In fact, he often seems to seek out the most difficult ones.
Yet none of that history could have prepared us for a choice Jennings made in the third quarter of Wednesday’s game between the Pistons and visiting Dallas Mavericks. With the defense caught ball-watching, Jennings made a very nice cut towards the basket from the weak side. Caron Butler found him with a pass for what seemed like an easy lay-up … except Jennings decided that wasn’t tough enough and dribbled out for a fallaway jumper.
Brandon Jennings never seen a jumpshot he didn’t like… but he did have an explanation for this shot.

The Mavericks beat the Pistons 117-106. Jennings finished with 13 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.
