Is there a playback anywhere for this game? The Facebook live link looks to only have been for the live game.
What was the overall take on Jennings for those who watched?

No idea how he has been in the pros/g league but dude was an absolute sniper in college. He was a scoring machine. I'm not mad at this in the least bit.

He was Baddy.
The overall take is Uhtoff is available and he'd be a nice option off the bench.

Positives: Still very quick at getting to the hoop and some very nice assists.
Negatives: Played ZERO defense. Looked like he wasn't even trying on D. Jacked up multiple bad 3pt shots. Was kind of out of control with the ball.

I would agree with this. If maybe add he actually was hitting some 3's which for me is vital if gonna be a player off our bench. Looked liked the Jennings I remember for better or worse.

He looked like the old Jennings. Could be a sparkplug off the bunch. Who knows? I'm still neutral on signing him.

His left leg always has off the dribble.

Jennings smells familiar, nice to see him back though.
My first UPN memory was when the network debuted and the signature series was some bad Richard Grieco show.
I was excited, but mainly because of my fandom for Grieco and "If Looks Could Kill". Great movie. Highly recommend.
Do either of you guys remember a show on UPN called 7 days? Government had a device that could travel back in time but only for... 7 DAYS! Man I loved that show.

He actually looked pretty good hitting 3s tonight. I think he was 5 for 12. 41% is pretty good. It got Snell paid.

What’s the ticket situation for these games? Should I buy ahead or do they scalp them for a few bucks outside the door?
Tickets are like $30 directly from the team. I sat on the court tonight AAA for $72.

I have to go with what everyone else said, his athleticism looks fine and he was hitting some 3's but offered absolutely nothing on defense (neither did the entire team though). I was a bit impressed that he was actually finishing some layups at the rim with both hands, but it could just be the lack of defense in the g-league. If his 3 is falling he's a useful player, was definitely making some nice passes to cutters but was very sloppy trying to be flashy with his dribbles and resulted in many turnovers.

Re: GT: Mad Ants @ Herd 7:00 p.m. (Brandon Jennings debut)
Well we're down 2 guards and Kilpatrick sucks so I'm all for bringing him in if he's fine getting sporadic minutes. Which he should be if he has hopes to make someone's roster in October.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Jennings as "streaky bench shooter" instead of "face of the franchise" is a night and day difference. There's no reason to freak out if we sign him.

Re: GT: Mad Ants @ Herd 7:00 p.m. (Brandon Jennings debut)
Telly kept hyping up Jennings as a scorer but that's not his value to the Bucks. Jennings made 5 threes but I don't focus on that because we know he won't do that with regularity. He took some dumb shots as you would expect from Jennings, but he played like he knew he was the best player on the court. He's in the G League so I'm not worried about his ego on an NBA team. He looked quick and made some nice passes to give his teammates easy looks.
If he keeps playing like this, I would expect some NBA team to bring him in fairly soon. I'm not sure if he's a good fit on the Bucks though. He could contribute to the team in the short-term, but once Delly and Brogdon return next month, Jennings won't have a role as the 4th PG. Kilpatrick is terrible but at least he has a chance to contribute in the playoffs because he's a wing.

I mean it's not really possible for him to be much worse than Kilpatrick or Terry, I hope we give him a try honestly. It will be interesting and there's almost no risk involved, why not

I would be excited to see Jennings play for the Bucks.
Hope the Bucks sign him before any other team picks him up.

Brandon Jennings isn't even the best point guard drafted in 2009 returning back from China in 2018.

He PASSED the ball ahead in transition. A novel concept, I know, but it got his team mates some really good open looks from the corners.

I think I would rather have Jennings on the team for the playoff run than a guy like Mumford.

What? Just buy 10 dollar tickets at the arena. The worst seat in the city place is equivalent to half way up on the 200 sections. Remember, it’s basically high school gym size
