“Win in 6”, the iconic statement used throughout Bucks fandom, would never have been without Brandon Jennings and the swagger he brought with him. Jennings never quite lived up to the potential he showed in his rookie season, but don’t tell him that. He often played like he knew he was the best player on the court.
Jennings was Milwaukee’s best player for much of his time as a Buck and often was required to be the go-to guy, when he clearly did not have the tools to be so. Still, for all his shortcomings, Jennings was as fun as any Buck to watch when he was on-song, which was even highlighted by his recent tenure in Milwaukee when he torched the Memphis Grizzlies in his first NBA game in over a year.
Jennings was unlucky to miss out on All Star Selection in 2013 with Philadelphia’s Jrue Holiday being selected as an injury reserve just ahead of him. That whole process essentially summed up his time with the Bucks as full of promise, but ultimately falling just short of what the fans both wanted and needed.
Still, as the longest tenured Bucks point guard this decade, Jennings gets the nod as the starting point guard, as an out and out scorer who can take over any game without notice.
