With both Malcom Brogdon (torn quad tendon; 5-7 weeks) and Matthew Dellavedova (sprained ankle; 3-4 weeks) out with injuries, the Bucks took a step toward finding themselves a beneficial back-up point guard. That point guard is former Bucks stand-out, Brandon Jennings.

Brandon Jennings was picked up off the waivers by the Bucks’ G-League Affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, in Oshkosh. The Bucks selected Brandon Jennings with the 10th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, where he averaged 15.5 points per game in his first season, and carried the Bucks to a first round playoff matchup with the Atlanta Hawks.

Now, if you remember your Bucks history, you’ll remember that this is the series where Jennings coined the phrase “Bucks in Six”, referring to his prediction that the Bucks would win the playoff series in six games. His prediction nearly came true, after the Bucks stole Game 5 in Atlanta and brought the series back home for Game 6 in Milwaukee. Lucky for me, I was able to attend Game 6, and have never heard a crowd cheer so loud in my life. Despite the disappointing Game 6 loss (and eventually losing the series in seven games), the crowd never hushed themselves one bit. My ears were ringing for the rest of the night after leaving the Bradley Center.

Over four seasons with the Bucks, Jennings averaged 17 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.5 steals. Jennings also recorded a Bucks’ rookie record of 55 points in one game against the Golden State Warriors. Not to mention, he didn’t score until the second quarter!

With two backup point guards out, Bucks Crossing is more than happy to have this little guy back in Wisconsin. He may not be the same Brandon Jennings he was in the video above, but he’s still Brandon Jennings nonetheless.
