Rookie of the Year

Is it too early for Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks to be named the 2009-10 NBA Rookie of the Year? I mean have you guys been watching this kid? If not please do, you are missing out on a special one. I know it is very early in the season but this guy is putting up some great numbers and is sending a message to all the kids that do not want to attend college want and follow in his footsteps.

In the young NBA season, Jennings has only one game were he did not score double digits (9 points...but his team won) and in his most recent performance he scored 55 points. DAMN! I know, I know what you are thinking, this guy must have been jacking up shots. Not really. In fact he did not have any points in the 1st qt, and only had 10 at the half. He scored 29 points in the 3rd qt alone and finished 3 points shy of Wilt the Stilts' rookie record (58).

Jennings' 55 point performance came 4 days after he scorched All-Star point guard Chauncey Billups for 32 points and 9 assist. Yeah you read that correctly, Jennings gave Chauncey 32 and led his Bucks to a 108-102 win over Denver.

The kid is averaging 25.6 points and 5.1 assist per game and has led his team to a 5-2 record. I know it is early but wow if you are not in Milwaukee and have the option of watching this kid every night, do like I am going to do, purchase the NBA league pass and get your popcorn ready.
