Maybe it was a poor choice of words but I am, however, not one of those skeptics. Not only do I think his choice was a success, in fact, I think the year abroad left him better prepared than a year of college and has been instrumental in his success. I think we can all agree that even eight games into his rookie season, Brandon Jennings progress is undeniable, as you alluded to. Your feedback is much appreciated Jason.

He is clearly as prepared as he would have been had he spent last season in college. This is not in dispute. Whether he would have benefited personally from a year on campus, is not something that can ever be measured. No doubt he will cool off over the rest of the season and his stat line will come back to earth, but his experiment was a success. I see your point, but I don’t think it is too early.
