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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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).
