Brandon Jennings Highschool Mix

Brandon Jennings (born September 23, 1989 in Los Angeles, California) is an American professional basketball player that was drafted 10th overall in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association. He is a 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) [1] tall point guard. Jennings is also the first pro basketball player to be sponsored by Under Armour.

He is the cousin of Marcus Williams, former point guard of the Golden State Warriors, New Jersey Nets, and formerly of the University of Connecticut
Jennings began playing at Dominguez High School in Compton, California. Before his junior year, Jennings transferred to basketball powerhouse Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia.

In his senior year of high school, Jennings averaged 32.7 points, 7.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 steals per game and set the school record for points in a season. This performance earned him some of high school basketballs most prestigious awards: the 2008 Naismith High School Basketball Player of the Year, 2007-08 Gatorade Player of the Year (Virginia), 2008 Parade Magazine Player of the Year and 2008 EA Sports Player of the Year.

He led his 2006-2007 team to a 41-1 record and the top ranking in the USA Today Super 25 list of high school teams
n August 2006,USC Trojans.

On April 24, 2007, he decided instead to join the Arizona Wildcats, citing Arizona's quality academic faculty and his desire to play with Jerryd Bayless. (Bayless left after one season to enter the 2008 NBA Draft.) [3]

In November 2007, SLAM Magazines third edition of PUNKS featured Jennings on the cover along with three other top-rated high school guards (Jrue Holiday, Tyreke Evans and Lance Stephenson). [4][5]

In June 2008, Jennings was unable to pass the entrance exam to attend college at Arizona, even after multiple attempts. Jennings announced that he was considering becoming the first American to skip college to play professionally in Europe. The NBA requires players to be at least 19 years old and one year removed from high school before entering the league, meaning that Jennings could not enter the 2008 NBA draft. Jennings has declared that his goal is to play in the NBA and that playing overseas instead of at an American college may be his best route to gain experience and make money until he is eligible to join the NBA. [6].

At the time, Jennings was ranked as the No. 1 prospective college freshman by Scout.com [7], No. 1 by ESPN.com[8] and No. 4 by Rivals.com [9].
On July 16, 2008, Jennings signed with Lottomatica Roma of the Italian Lega A. [10] The contract he signed with Roma was for $1.65 million net income guaranteed [11] and after earning the contract with Lottomatica, Under Armour gave Jennings a $2 million contract[12] to showcase their products in the Euroleague. Jennings was the first player to play for a European team rather than play for a college basketball team since the NBA's age restriction rule was implemented.

In the Italian Lega A 2008-09 season, Jennings averaged in 27 games, 5.5 points, 1.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.5 steals in 17.0 minutes per game. He shot 35.1 percent from the field and 20.7 percent from 3 point range in Lega A play.[13] In 16 Euroleague games, Jennings averaged 7.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in 19.6 minutes per game. In the Euroleague he shot 38.7 percent from the field and 26.8 percent from 3 point range.[14]
Jennings was selected tenth overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2009 NBA Draft. He was one pick behind his good friend DeMar DeRozan. Jennings is also good friends with Jrue Holiday.

DAMN...

[jason60152]

@raygunallen20 sorry he is the next Nick Van Exel:)

[jason60152]

@jayjoetube14 I disagree I think Jennings play more like Nick Van Exel.They both left handed,can dunk,got range,and are quick.Iverson is one of a kind.Don't compare Jennings to Iverson till he can average 30 points a game which I doubt because he is a point guard.

[jayjoetube14]

he plays like iverson but the differences are Iverson gets strong to basket more and gets fouled more, but Jennings is a better passer, doing his role as a point guard. I can also see him to be better shooter than Iverson at the end of his career

[jayjoetube14]

2:00 he really looked iverson on that
