Flying Under The Radar Jennings Impresses Bucks Brass!
Last summer NBA fans were intrigued with Brandon Jennings; this summer he seems to have flown under the radar of NBA fans. You most likely remember Jennings as the young man who last year signed a letter of intent to play for the University of Arizona. However he was not sure if he would have the academic requirements to attend the school. Instead he signed a three year contract with Italian power house Lottomatica Virtus Roma during the summer. He opted out of his contract at the end of last season and was selected with the tenth pick in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
“ESPN.com” is reporting that so far Bucks General Manager John Hammond is impressed with the young point guard. The Milwaukee G.M. said the team liked what they saw from Jennings during his time in this summer’s Las Vegas League tournament. Hammond said “We saw a pass-first point guard, a guy who wants to win and a pleaser; a guy who wants to please his teammates and his coach. I don’t think people thought of him that way, based on his reputation.”
New York Vinnie is very interested to see how Jenninngs stacks up against other NBA rookie who spent at least one year playing NCAA ball as opposed to the Euro-Leagues. Will Jennings be more mature because of the experience or did he become a loose cannon over in Italy? We will soon find out as NBA training camp gets underway in less than a month.
New York Vinnie will never start a fight, but he's not afraid to finish one.. Mess with New York Vinnie and he'll rip your nuts off and throw them down the sewer!
