Jennings Euro Trip

High School All American Brandon Jennings has decided to buck the system and play in Europe for a year rather than go to college for a year. Take that David Stern. In a movie that has been unprecedented , Jennings has decided that regardless of his SAT exam that he would rather go to Europe and start making money right now as opposed to being somewhere he doesnt like ….school. By now , many people know the story of Brandon Jennings, the LA boy who had transfered from Compton Dominguez to Virginia’s historic Oak Hill Academy. Oak Hill has quite a list of prominent figures as alumni, Carmelo Anthony, Josh Smith, Jerry Stackhouse and Rajon Rondo to name a few.

Brandon Jennings is an incredible talent , although some question his quirky , showboat personality , think Gilbert Arenas. He’s a left handed player who can penetrate like Chris Paul and Deron Williams and leap like Baron Davis . He no doubt will be a top 5 player in next years draft.

This move is going to probably have a ripple effect that i think ultimately causing the NBA to lift the age limit to enter the draft. Until now , nobody was willing to take a leap that Jennings has decided to do. But i gotta feeling that will change if David Stern doesnt change this rule. I never really liked the rule anyways. I mean you got tennis players and golfers going pro at tender ages of 16 . Why should the NBA be any different . The commissioners concerns are not for the ones that make it but the ones that skip college that dont make it. But for every one player that made a mistake coming out early , ill show you 10 that made it. Actually, this current age restrictions have hurt college basketball, with players only going for one year and then leaving coaches shorthanded. Jennings one day will be remembered more for his play then his trailblazing.
