Bucks coach Scott Skiles isn't happy about comments recently made by rookie guard Brandon Jennings.

Jennings said that he doesn't "even know if I want to shoot the ball."

"We're not fond of that kind of statement," Skiles said Friday night. "He's too important to our team and our franchise to have any sort of defeatist-type mind-set right now. And he doesn't, really."

Jennings is shooting just 25.3 percent in Milwaukee's last eight games.

"We know where his heart lies. He's a really good person, he's hardworking, and he loves the game," Skiles said.
