Bucks rookie Brandon Jennings, who played in Italy for one season instead of attending college, believes that he is better prepared for the NBA.

"The experience I have gotten over there, you can't complain with that," Jennings said. "I'm not really a rookie, but I am a rookie in the NBA. This is really my second year as a pro.

"I think I'm ready. I'm more ready than a lot of these other players. A lot of these other players have a lot to learn with the pro game, but I think I've got it down a little bit."
