Jennings logged 27 minutes while backup D.J. Augustin played 21.

During that five-game stretch, Jennings has averaged 15.8 points, 6.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.0 threes in 30 minute per game. Excluding a couple of rough outings to begin the season, Jennings is right at his career norm from a production standpoint.

Jennings once again handled the bulk of the minutes between he a D.J. Augustin. Jennings was responsible for cutting down the lead in the third, with a 14 point scoring outburst. But, also had some costly mistakes that may have cost his team the game in the final minutes. Jennings remains an inconsistent option with a backup chomping at the bit, but if he can figure it all out in time he can prove to be an effective fantasy contributor.

As long as Jennings is playing well, he'll continue to see more playing time than backup D.J. Augustin.

Jennings has been limited by an Achilles injury, which hampered the guard during the preseason. He may be the best passer on the Detroit roster, but his time share with D.J. Augustin (who played 33 minutes) will limit his immediate fantasy appeal.

Jennings started despite a preseason achillies injury, but he was limited to just 20 minutes of play and only scored 4 points (2-4 FG, 0-0 3Pt, 0-0 FT).

Jennings (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's preseason finale against the Sixers.

Jennings finished with 16 points (5-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds and two steals in Saturday's win over the Hawks.
Saturday's impressive outing was easily Jennings best performance of the preseason. D.J. Augustin has put together a string of three consecutive quality performances, including a 14-point effort on Saturday, but the Pistons appear set to roll with Jennings as the starter. Jennings' shortcomings (poor field-goal percentage, spotty defense) are well known at this point, but he's still plenty productive in scoring, assists, threes and steals to deploy as a steady PG2 in most formats.

Fri Oct 3 201409:21Jennings expected to receive competition from D.J
Jennings is expected to receive competition from D.J. Augustin and Will Bynum for the starting point guard job during training camp, the Detroit Free Press reports.
With a new front office and coaching staff, the Pistons have been preaching that all players will compete for their jobs during training camp. Head coach Stan Van Gundy is a big fan of Augustin, in particular, but Jennings should still be considered the heavy favorite to start at point guard when the regular season tips off. Still, the situation does warrant a watchful eye if you plan on targeting a Pistons' point guard in fantasy drafts this year.
Fri Sep 26 201412:49Jennings added 25 pounds of muscle this offseason
Jennings added 25 pounds of muscle this offseason, the Detroit News reports.
Jennings hopes the added weight helps on defense and when he's attacking the rim. Despite setting a career-high in assists (7.6) last season, Jennings was disappointed with his performance during his first campaign in Detroit. The 25-year-old point expects to put together a bounce-back campaign under first-year Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy.
Sat May 17 201411:22SVG questions Brandon Jennings' FG%
Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy questioned Brandon Jennings' "decision-making ability" and shot selection, before mentioning Jennings' 37 percent shooting last season.
"One of the things I like to do with guys in terms of shooting percentage is ask them why," Van Gundy said. "Why 37 percent? I want to hear the answer on that. But I know he's a very, very talented guy." Detroit's new coach/president also mentioned that Jennings is "outstanding in high pick-and-roll situations, something that I love to do a lot."

Sun Apr 13 201418:55Brandon Jennings scores 17 on 18 shots
Brandon Jennings scored 17 points in Sunday's 116-107 loss to the Raptors to go with three boards, seven assists, one steal and two 3-pointers on 6-of-18 from the field.
His field goal attempts were greater than his point total today, which has become old hat for the NBA's worst shooter based on field goal percentage. Jennings does rank a respectable 12th in assist:turnover ratio this season, but he still has a lot of work to do as a floor general and running an offense. The Pistons rank 24th in assists per game despite ranking eighth in the NBA in field goals per game.

Wed Apr 9 201421:40Brandon Jennings still can't shoot the ball
Brandon Jennings shot 5-of-17 from the field against the Cavs on Wednesday, scoring a total of 17 points with one board, seven assists, four turnovers and one 3-pointer.
He didn't make his first field goal until the second half and currently ranks dead last among qualifiers for field goal percentage. Jennings has taken the 26th-most shots in the NBA this season, so his ineptitude in scoring the ball with respect to efficiency is unmatched. His offensive game needs a makeover.

Tue Apr 1 201416:34Brandon Jennings fined $5,000 for second flop
Brandon Jennings has been fined $5,000 for flopping in Monday's game vs. the Bucks, his second violation of the season.
The video is attached and there's no way Jennings could contest the charge, as he's clearly angling for a foul, drops to the floor after slight contact which he caused, and then reaches toward his mouth as though he'd been hit in the face. It's good comedy relief, if nothing else. Jennings joins five other players to have been caught flopping twice this season -- Corey Brewer, Mario Chalmers, James Harden, Lance Stephenson and P.J. Tucker.

Tue Apr 1 201400:02Jennings goes for 20 and 13 with five treys
Brandon Jennings scored 20 points on 7-of-17 shooting (including five threes) with three rebounds, 13 assists and one steal in the Pistons' 116-111 win over the Bucks on Monday.
Jennings got ejected in Saturday's embarrassing loss to the Sixers so naturally he came out fired up to play tonight. He's going to be a game-to-game risk to either go big or disappear.
