The media was issued the following statement from agent Bill Duffy roughly 45 minutes prior to the start of the NBA Draft:

"Because we do not have a strong grasp of Brandon's draft position, I've advised that he and his family enjoy this day in a more private setting with the people he loves the most," Duffy said in the statement.

"Brandon Jennings will have a very illustrious career in the NBA, and at the end of the day, that is all that is important."
