I checked out the interview with the homie Mwill & the sacremento kings blog about Lil B aka Brandon Jennings. I thought it was pretty dope how to look into the 6 months later of the best thing that has happen to an all american out of high school. Lil B & Mwill basically cousins and in the interview he tells about lil b frustrations and his impact in Italy being fresh from High school and playing in italy professional basketball to skip out on college. Check it out...
Preview:
Marcus Williams of the Golden State Warriors said Brandon Jennings is frustrated in Italy, and what Marcus Williams says about Brandon Jennings matters. The two are close friends, ever since meeting in Southern California on the traveling-team circuit, to where they talk or text several times a week and Williams considers Jennings his little brother. It also matters to NBA teams who will be picking in the lottery and have a need at point guard, if you know of any.
Jennings is the trailblazer who signed a letter of intent with Arizona, got into a back-and-forth over the legitimacy of his SAT scores, took the test a second and a third time, and then skipped the whole thing. A few years too late to jump directly to the NBA, he made the unprecedented move in July of turning pro by signing with a team in Italy, Lottomatica Virtus Roma, in what most everyone in the United States figured was a one-season loaner to Europe before Jennings enters the draft as one of the top prospects at his position, if not overall.
The Williams perspective:
"It's been back and forth with him," the Warriors reserve point guard said. "He said he's been doing good, then he said the coach hasn't been playing him, he's been getting frustrated. Then he'll turn around and say he played a good game. He's doing fine. But he said the league is just a lot different. It's real physical, sort of slower than what he's accustomed to. To me, that (a physical style), is not his real strength, so I think he's really working on his game being over there, and I think he can only get better."
Question: What does he say about living there?
Answer: He says it's real different. The food is different. He just talks about the normal lifestyle. He's there with his little brother and his mom, so he feels somewhat at home, but it's still different.
Q: In other words, he has no intention of playing two seasons over there, right? The plan is to come to the NBA next season?
A: I haven't really talked to him about that. Me being so close to him before all the basketball credibility came, we don't really talk about basketball. It's more he asks me how I'm doing in basketball, I ask him how he's doing in basketball, and then we'll talk about the most random things, from what shoes are out over here or what kind of food he's been eating to what kind of cars he's seen. So it's not really like we talk about basketball a lot.
H answers also- Because it goes down in the VIP CC list, no bball talk...lol
