NBA Rookie Throws In 55!

Who is Brandon Jennings? Well, if you don't follow high school hoops, or basketball in Italy, you could be excused for not knowing. Heck, 9 NBA teams passed on him in the 2009 NBA Draft! The Milwaukee Bucks picked up the 6-1, 20-year old (born 9/23/89) point guard with the 10th pick. So, tonight, Jennings finished with 55 points in a 129-125 home win (recap here) over the Golden State Warriors. The last time any NBA rookie scored this many points was 1968. And the NBA record is 58 (twice) by Wilt Chamberlin in 1960. Jennings was too young to enter the 2008 NBA Draft right out of high school so he played last year in Rome. Full bio here.
