NBA Free Agency 2017 Player Profile: Brandon Jennings
By Ti Windisch
Former Milwaukee Bucks could end up being future Milwaukee Bucks once NBA free agency begins. Would Brandon Jennings make for a good pickup?

Enter Brandon Jennings, the genius mind behind “We gon’ win in 6,” an enduring Bucks mantra to this very day. What if the Bucks needs Jennings around to actually fulfill the prophesy of winning a series in six games?

Jennings is a free agent after serving as the Washington Wizards backup point guard for the latter half of the 2016-17 NBA season, which he began with the New York Knicks. Could he be a good pickup this summer for Milwaukee?
