All about Brandon Jennings

As you probably know by now, 20-year-old Brandon Jennings burst onto the scene tonight with 17 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. Those like my bud/rival The Thief who invested a mid-to-late round draft pick on the phenom are feeling like Ashton Kutcher right about now (pretty pleased with themselves). Gotta let 'em have that, though.

Those who did not have the foresight to draft Jennings should immediately check their league's wire, just in case he's miraculously still there. Here's the scoop on the electrifying guard....

In his senior year at powerhouse high school Oak Hill Academy, Jennings averaged 32.7 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.1 rebounds, and 3.7 steals per game. His performance earned him the Naismith High School Player of the Year Award.

Jennings was planning to play college ball at Arizona but could not pass the college entrance exam. Being 18 he was not able to enter the NBA draft, so he opted to play for the Italian club Lottomatica Roma. In 16 Euroleague games, he averaged 7.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in 19.6 minutes.

This year, he was able to enter the draft and was selected by Milwaukee with the tenth overall pick. Just days ago Bucks Coach Scott Skiles named Jennings the team's starting point guard.

To see him in action, watch the YouTube video of him at McDonald's (below). Exceptional moves and quickness. Don't know that I've ever seen a better crossover. Yeah, you heard me, Answer!
