Brandon Jennings to sign with a European Team

[baseketball4life]

Why not?

did you read the rest of the post?

you can't get an education, you miss out on college life, college tradition, I think Jennings is a rare case which is going to go bad. When kids are playing high school ball and growing up they dream of being a North Carolina Tar Heel or a Duke Blue Devil, not some random European team

[ScottStuart]

wow.

[Ryoga Hibiki]

he's going also to be coached much better than in Arizona, no because of better personnel but because he will be a pro, so there will be no time limit to the time dedicated to him.
And don't underrate what a year abroad can do to his maturity.

I'm not sure 1 year is long enough, though, how much will the team really invest on him?

Btw, imo sooner or later you'll have guys crossing the ocean when they're like 15 or 16, ala Tiago Splitter, signing contracts with NBA escape when they're like 19 or 20.
The American system will find some serious competion, in the future.

he's an idiot

[chains5000]

LMAO

this will never happen... do you get an education in europe? didn't think so

Do you think college players care about their education? don't think so
Smart move by him, this's going to be common in a few years.

Wow

Jennings is the most explosive scorer in HS, and he is going to be a taller version of Allen Iverson.

Averages: 35.5 ppg

Couldn't LBJ get education? He also missed college life.

[YAH trick YAH]

So instead of playing for free, and having to do a year of collage that he has no interest in...he decided to earn a ton of money and play against a higher level of competition: what is wrong with that? I would be very surprised a this didn't become a trend. Where is the benefit of of one year of being a pretend student, and making a school millions of dollars that you never see a dime of?

Because Jennings is NOT that good. Hes not a Drose, Beasley, Oden type of player. He wont make that big of an impact for these teams. I doubt he would have even been on Bayless' level at Arizona. Hes still a GOOD player, but hes not THAT good. He would have made an impact in college, but i dont think that much. Yeah he'll make some money, but if he wants that, go to USC. He'd make more that way. And this wont become a trend because Jennings will flop, or end up not even going, and other players will see its a bad idea.

Who cares if hes going to be a pretend student. Hell go for a year in AZ, get some hot girls thrown at you, booze, go to the clubs, be the main man on campus. European people dont care about some kid from the States that rides the bench, but at AZ hes a star.

we all know the kid can ball

he's just a little dumb up in the brain, just look at his test scores

He won't ride the bench, if anybody is signing him it is to play.

I don't know we don't have hot girls or clubs in Europe, where the hell have I been living all my life?

[Lebron23]

I would love to see Brandon Jennings vs. Ricky Rubio in the Euroleague.

Well then that means the competition won't be as good. Of course there are clubs and all that in Europe, but they aren't gonna know who the kid is. They are gonna see some tatted up fool with a ****ed up haircut. At a college though, hes KING.

Under a rock, cause another guy said you can get no education here.
