BJ is the savior to the Bucks franchise!
He most certainly is! Not Bogut or Redd. He most certainly is.
And his legacy might start tonite against one Derrick Rose. This is what I envisioned when I began entertaining notions of the Bucks' perhaps being in position to select this 6'1 dynamo out of Lomattica Rome by way of Oak Hill Academy.
This will put some sauce in this regional rivalry between the Bucks and Bulls and if the Bucks do it right and get some 'real players' on this team to support Jennings this could be one of the best wars in the NBA for the next half decade or more!
It will bring in money in sales, in viewership and in merchandise...as well. Some will wear Rose (Or Wade?) jersey's and many will rock Jennings jersey's and we can pay for a new arena around here!
That is what Jennings is al about...a 'meal ticket' to draw in a Superstar that past Bucks teams in the Redd era could not entice and recruit to come here. Ray and Glenn got Sam Cassell to come, but Redd and a host of others only brought in Bobby Simmons...
Jennings will bring in anyone who wants to compete and win despite their percieved reservations they may or may not have about other facets of Wisconsin which I think are overblown anyways...Players worth a damn make the city and community they play in and the city and other factors should not define them!
Jennings...will work!
“My main goal is coming out here, making the playoffs, getting my teammates involved and trying to bring the winning back to Milwaukee,” Jennings said. “We have to win. I’m going to do my part and I’m going to try and make sure the team does their part.”
