What You Definitely Missed: Brandon Jennings


So, while you were too busy either tracking the World Series, out trick or treating, or just watching basketball that is more relevant than it is in Milwaukee, you definitely missed Brandon Jennings' near triple-double against the Sixers in his debut game in Philadelphia. Jennings put up a remarkable 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists in his first game almost becoming the second player to ever post a triple-double in his rookie debut.

And I'm not even done. He comes to the home arena in Milwaukee and scores 21 of his 24 points in the Second Half of the Pistons game to lift the Bucks to their first win of the season. So much for college, right? So much talk about Blake Griffin's knee, Terrance Williams hype, DeJuan Blair as a steal and yet here is the shining star of the rookie class thus far. Brandon Jennings is off to a hot start and it's time to start paying attention to the player versus the internet videos with him talking to Joe Budden and ripping the Knicks and Rubio (which everyone does anyway).

Thus far, Jennings looks like a legit point guard and will be a star instantly. It is going to be fun to watch him and Derrick Rose go at for years to come in the NBA's Central Division. Hopefully, Brandon Jennings will no longer be what you definitely missed.
