Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings has expressed interest in the possibility of playing in the NBL during the NBA lockout. Jennings said in a tweet late Saturday night that he was “Seriously thinking about going to Australia to play with (Andrew Bogut)”.
If he is serious about this then it’ll be a great boost for basketball fans and teams all around the country. The earlier the league offices hit the phones and show Jennings what the have to offer, the earlier we could have the young star down under.
The tenth overall selection in 2009 led his Bucks to a 7 game series with Atlanta in 2010, without center Andrew Bogut.
After a twitter based campaign by Bogut, Jennings’ twitter account name (@bl00dline3) was trending in major Australian cities throughout the afternoon.
Jennings is a supreme talent, the likes of which the NBL has never had, even compared to Andrew Gaze. Consider Patty Mills to be a 12 year old little brother to Jennings. That is the kind of skill the “Young Buck” possess.
Along with his considerable talent, he also possesses a personality comparable to Corey Williams, which would really help with the national attention that would be given to such a move.
To have him play even a handful of games in the country would be a huge positive for hardcore basketball fans, as well as the casual follower.
