Rookie Brandon Jennings had an out-of-the-blue question for the injured Michael Redd during a recent practice. "'Mike, what's your career high?"' said Redd, who scored 57 points against Utah back in 2006. "He was like, 'Dang, how'd you do that?' and I said, 'Man, you just got to be on."'

Brandon Jennings: The Other Side of the Double-Nickel

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:31:46 +0000

Before we begin, a tip of the cap to Hadarii Jones for his outstanding piece "Pivot Points: Brandon Jennings' Success Confirms a New Path to the NBA." Reading his article inspired me to write this supplemental aside to the Jennings story. This isn't intended to take away from Hadarii's piece, just present an alternate take on the early success of the young Buck. The early success of Brandon Jennings is astounding, no matter how you look at it. Two nights ago, the Bucks point guard of the future served notice that the future is now, dropping 55 points on the Golden State Warriors and surpassing the team record for point scored by a rookie. The former record holder? Some guy you might have heard of named Lew Alcindor... But before we start handing out the Rookie of the Year Award, inviting Jennings to Dallas for the 2010 All-Star Game and stumping for the NBA to abolish the age limit rule, a little patience and further examination is certainly warranted in this writer's eyes. Coming out ...

Has Andrew Bogut Finally Turned the Corner?

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:06:35 +0000

To the surprise of most fans and observers, the Milwaukee Bucks are off to a fast start. In fact, Milwaukee sits atop the Central Division with a record of 5-2. The league is buzzing over the hot start by rookie Brandon Jennings. Jennings has taken the league by storm, highlighted by his 55 point performance against the Golden State Warriors over the weekend. While Jennings is earning all the headlines, another Bucks' player is performing as well right now as he has at any time in his career. Andrew Bogut was the first overall selection in the 2005 NBA Draft and has been trying to live up to all the pressures that go along with that. Bogut was playing well last season before a back injury limited him to only 36 games. There was even doubt prior to this season if he'd be healthy in time for the season opener. Bogut is averaging 15.9 points and 9.4 rebounds over the first seven games this year. The offense has opened up since Michael Redd's injury, and Bogut has benefitted from a more open ...

Pivot Points: Brandon Jennings' Success Confirms A New Path To The NBA

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:22:16 +0000

As I digest the magnitude of Brandon Jennings and his 55 point outburst, and the historical implications it has on the NBA, a few things pop into my mind. First of all, Jennings and his early success may have rendered the NBA's ridiculous age-limit rule totally irrelevant, and maybe we can get past the notion that players are better prepared after playing one year in college. There was much discussion about Jennings and his decision to forgo college, and instead hop across the Atlantic to play professionally in Europe. Although there were a few people who saw the value in this move, most of the response was negative. Most observers felt that his development would be stunted, and his confidence shattered by the way Europeans treated American players, especially rookies. Their fears seemed to be confirmed, as Jennings struggled to find playing time and eventually became an after-thought in the minds of many basketball pundits and experts. No one thought much about the Bucks making him their ...
