Remember Brandon Jennings?<\/p>\n
Five years ago, that would have been a stupid question. The compact point guard was the face of the Milwaukee Bucks. The team\u2019s 2009 first-round pick was an electric scorer, reliable meme factory<\/a> and the closest thing to a star the team had.<\/p>\n But then in July 2013, the Bucks dealt Jennings to the Detroit Pistons for a return that included Khris Middleton, the Bucks\u2019 current sharpshooting All-Star snub<\/a>. Jennings spent 2\u00bd mediocre seasons with Detroit and in recent years has bounced from team-to-team and league-to-league, including a stint in China that ended in December when the Shanxi Brave Dragons released him.<\/p>\n Not one to go out with a whimper, the 28-year-old Jennings has spent the past few months quietly working his way back into the NBA, culminating in a return to the state where he played some of his best basketball. The Wisconsin Herd, the Bucks\u2019 G-league affiliate, signed Jennings in February. Over the weekend, he inked a 10-day deal with the for-real Bucks.<\/p>\n And then on Monday night, he partied like it was 2009.<\/p>\n
