Like Brandon Roy and Randy Foye before them, the Timberwolves' Jonny Flynn and Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings might be forever compared, because they play the same position and were selected four spots apart in this year's NBA draft.
At least their surnames don't rhyme.
Jennings had fairly amazed in his first three NBA games, delivering a near triple-double (17 points, nine assists, nine rebounds) one night and a 25-point game another that already might have Wolves fans alarmed.
Don't be, Kurt Rambis said.
"It's not fair," the Wolves coach said of such comparisons. "[Jennings] has a lot more freedom than Jonny has. I'm asking Jonny to do a lot more things. He's in a much more complicated offense. So in terms of his individual expression, I've held Jonny down.
"He's not going to like to do it. But I think it's going to make him a better point guard once he learns those lessons. Then, I'll loosen the reins and let him do more of what he really wants to do."
Ramon Sessions has played for both the Bucks and coach Scott Skiles and for the Wolves and Rambis.
Skiles' system puts the ball in the point guard's hands and asks him to create. Rambis runs the passing triangle offense.
