Mini Biography

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 6ft 1in (1.85m) 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.




Early Life

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 basketball's 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.

In 2006, Jennings teamed with Kevin Love (UCLA, Minnesota Timberwolves), Taylor King (Duke, Villanova), Malik Story (Indiana Hoosiers), Daniel Hackett (USC) and Renardo Sidney to form what many believe to be the greatest team in high school AAU history. Their Southern California All-Star's squad went 65-0, winning five major AAU tournaments. In the finals of the Las Vegas Bigtime, they defeated a Chicago team that featured the backcourt of Derrick Rose (Memphis, Chicago Bulls) and Eric Gordon (Indiana, Los Angeles Clippers).




Career (Pro, College, HS, Olympic, International, Contracts, Earnings)

NBA

Jennings was selected tenth overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2009 NBA Draft. He became the first player who skipped college to play professional basketball in Europe to be drafted by an NBA team. Jennings also made a notable appearance at the draft. He was initially decided not to attend the draft and preferred to be at a family function during the draft. After he was drafted by the Bucks, he left the family function and headed to the Madison Square Garden. He later came out on the stage after the 14th pick was announced to have his picture taken with the NBA commissioner David Stern, just like all drafted players who attend the draft.
