Europe
:: The Global Hook: Jennings Makes Euroleague Debut - The Brandon Jennings watch is international. European basketball beat writer Evin Demirel shakes down B-Jen's first Euroleague minutes:

Thursday, Lottomatica Roma's Jennings played 22 minutes, scored 9 points on 3-7 from the 3-point line, garnered 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 0 assists in a 68-63 loss to Alba Roma.
Not the most auspicious of Euroleague starts for the 19-year old.
But still better than his previous two club matches in the top domestic league in Italy, in which Jennings averaged 17.5 minutes, 5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists while shooting 33.3% from the floor.

Low-angle highlights from the game are available on the link. Sara Palin-sponsored shout-out to the arena for throwing down "The Final Countdown" at the final buzzer. Hot.
