Re: Brandon Jennings to Europe
It very well could be a trend, and I love it
kids who have the pro skills should not be forced to go to college. This is another option. Living overseas. Getting paid. And playing vs. professional basketball players. And of course not having to worry about grades and eligibility
if Jennings chooses his team right (where he will be guaranteed playing time) and is a lottery pick next year, more players will do this.....
the NCAA is going to freak...... not getting some of their top talent....and hell, I don't feel bad for them.

3. Holds the record for being the only player in NBA history to ever average at least 30 points on 69.5 field goal percentage for four consecutive NBA playoff series games (5/23/06-5/29/06). The last record was held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 63%. Wade accomplished it with less than 20 field goal attempts per game
4. Fifth player in NBA history with at least 30 points, 15 assists and 5 rebounds in a playoff game (5/10/05 vs. WAS). The others are Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Walt Frazier and Oscar Robertson.
5. One of four players in NBA history to have at least 30 points and 12 assists in three consecutive games (November 24-27, 2006). The others are Oscar Robertson, Nate Archibald, and Kevin Johnson. [5]

Re: Brandon Jennings to Europe
I love the college game so obviously I'm not going to be super excited about this...but I do feel it's well within their rights to do this. I'm interested in seeing how this works out though. I think the market will take care of itself so that if he bombs in Europe other kids and other European teams will be less likely to try this.

Re: Brandon Jennings to Europe
This will be the norm from now on and there's not anything that Stern can do to stop it. Loophole > Stern.
