What does Brandon Jennings think of projected top 3 pick Ricky Rubio?

“Yeah, I think I’m a better player than he is.I just shoot the ball better than he can. The only thing I’ve seen him do sometimes is when he has a home-run pass or something like that. I think the dude is just all hype. I can’t even front. I’m just going to be real with you guys.”

“Well, put it like this: If he was in a workout with me, Jonny Flynn, Jrue Holiday, Ty Lawson, Stephen Curry, he wouldn’t probably be at the top.”

Brandon Jennings thoughts on his decision to go to Europe

“I have definitely improved as a player and a person… My family and I have had a really unique experience because of this decision, and I do believe it will advance my career in professional basketball.”

Brandon Jennings’ advice to Jeremy Tyler, who is leaving his senior year in high school to play in Europe:

“I’ve done well here because this organization has helped my family and I adjust… The coaches are beneficial in seeing where I best help them, and any player coming here should keep that in mind.”

“After living in Rome this year, my family has found a second home. When I heard about the devastation of the earthquake I knew I had to do something… Growing up in Southern California, I am no stranger to earthquakes and after seeing on television and on the internet how many people died and how many families lost everything, I wanted to do my part.”

Brandon Jennings will have to wait another week to find out if he is eligible to play basketball at the University of Arizona. The College Board won’t release his SAT score until July 11th. The latest delay may entice Jennings to sign with a European team but he made it clear that it had to take a perfect situation for him to play in Europe:

“I need a team that needs a point guard, a coach who would take the time to work with me, an American on the team who could show me the ropes and playing time to show off my game.”

The LA Times has a small blurb on Brandon Jennings and how the UCLA and USC basketball rivalries with Arizona Wildcat might get more heated with comments made by the Arizona committed point guard:

“I don’t respect West Coast point guards; they’re too Hollywood for me”

“I’m more of an East Coast, flashy-type point guard.”

On UCLA recruit Jrue Holiday:

“He’s real smooth, goes to work in the first three quarters — but he’s not a killer yet,” Jennings said. “Me, I’m a killer.”

Brandon Jennings, the 6-1 senior point guard out of Oak Hill and future Arizona Wildcat was an unstoppable human fast break at the NBPA Top 100 Camp. Legendary high school scout Bob Gibbons on his thoughts of Jennings:

“I’d say Brandon Jennings is the best player here. Talent-wise, he’s just head and shoulders above the other point guards,”

Brandon agreeing on Gibbon’s assessment:

“Having former pros teaching you is real exciting, but to be honest, I’ve had my way with everyone at this camp so far. Nobody here has really been any competition for me. I think I’m the king of [high school] point guards right now.”

Jennings on what separates him from the rest:

“I don’t respect West Coast point guards; they’re too Hollywood for me. I’m more of an East Coast, flashy-type point guard. Someone like Jrue Holiday [another top-ranked Cali guard], he’s real smooth, goes to work in the first three quarters–but he’s not a killer yet. Me, I’m a killer.”

SLAMonline’s Ryan Jones comments about Brandon Jennings after their loss to Simeon:

I loved seeing Jennings crying at the end of the game. Not in a bad way — I just love the competitiveness of this kid who’s still only a junior, getting that upset about losing a regular season game. He took it hard, which is one of many reasons why Brandon’s gonna be really, really good at the next level(s).

“He will be the best point guard I’ve ever had in my 20-something years. And I’ve had some good ones – Baron Davis, Jason Hart and other guys who went on to have good college and pro careers.”

“He’s quick as a cat. He looks to pass first, but he can score. And he’s a very good point guard.
