Brandon Jennings didn’t want to go to college.

He believed that if he was going to play, it would be for a paycheck, so, unable to enter the draft due to the age restrictions, the highly touted point guard became the first player to forgo college and make the leap from high school to professional European basketball a and m . Choosing to sign a one-year contract with Italian club Lottomatica Roma, the Oak Hill Academy star who won every major player of the year award as a senior believed he would see a substantial amount of action, thereby increasing his notoriety for the following year’s NBA Draft.But things didn’t go as planned Jennings spent a majority of the season riding the bench s?a . When he did play, he only averaged five points, two rebounds and one assist in 27 games while shooting just 35 percent from the field and 20 percent from three-point land.His struggles on the European stage would presumably hurt his draft status, but his lowly statistics did no such thing a?r . The Milwaukeee Bucks selected the skinny 6′1″ 20-year-old with the 10th overall selection l?a .

Milwaukee thought enough of his talent not only to make him a top-10 pick, but also to let 23-year-old starting point guard Ramon Sessions leave via free agency a calculator . The job was Jennings’ whether he was ready to take the reins or not.It appeared he wasn’t a?p . He averaged a satisfactory 10 points and 5 assists during the preseason, but was woefully inconsistent, scoring three points and dishing one assist one game and then scoring 10 and racking up 12 assists the next no$gba 2.6a . He had plenty of skeptics, and many deemed after the former performance that he simply wasn’t able to play in the NBA just yet 802.11a . But, boy, has he proved them wrong.Jennings narrowly missed out on a triple-double in his regular season debut against the Philadelphia 76ers. He scored 17 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and handed out nine assists, one rebound and one assist short of becoming the first player since Oscar Robertston to post a triple-double in his first game.

To prove this performance wasn’t a fluke, he scored 24 points the following night against the Detroit Pistons and 25 points three days later against the Chicago Bulls.He struggled in his fourth game, posting a line similar to that in the preseason, scoring nine points on 4-16 shooting while compiling just three assists in 27 minutes a camp . He has since bounced back from this mediocre performance in a big way.He scored 17 points against the New York Knicks, one of nine teams that passed up his services, and then exploded for 32 points against a horrible defensive Denver Nuggets team to go along with nine assists.He played an even worse defensive team last night, the Golden State Warriors coached by Don Nelson that is currently in disarray quelqu'un m'a dit . Nelson grooms his players to be offensively oriented; they don’t have a single player that takes pride in defensive intensity or playing defense at all a.exe . Playing Golden State, which came in allowing 110 points per game, Jennings went nuts on Milwaukee’s home-court.He didn’t score in the first quarter, which makes his feat that much more remarkable He was 0-3 shooting with a turnover s?a . Then, with a layup to begin Milwaukee’s second quarter, he started to heat up. Fellow rookie Stephen Curry had the assignment of guarding him, and though he blocked his shot on the next possession and forced a missed jumper a minute later, his defense would soon wane.Jennings hit a three-pointer three minutes after making a free-throw, giving him six points in 14 minutes.

He reached double figures by halftime, skying for a tip-in and a dunk to give him 10 points at intermission He had a quiet first half, and his Bucks were down by eight . There was no sign that he would be in for a big night, until shots starting falling in the third quarter.He drained a 16-footer over Curry with two minutes elapsed, cutting a deficit that reached 10 down to eight a?r . He hit another jumper, dwindling the margin to seven, and a three-pointer that whittled it to six l?a . A possession later, he made it a four-point game by crossing over Monta Ellis and driving in for a layup.He cut the Warriors lead to three with a three-pointer, to one with a layup, tied it with a free-throw, grabbed the lead with a mid-range jumper, and extended the Bucks advantage to five with his fourth three-pointer . In the quarter’s first eight minutes, he amassed 20 points, picking Golden State apart for uncovered jumper after jumper and layup after layup. He was just getting warm, too.He became a point guard for a few possessions, finding guard Charlie Bell and center Andrew Bogut for layups, before harkening back to the player who averaged 32 points per game in his high school career.
