After a sensational rookie season highlighted by a 55-point performance against the Golden State Warriors, the injury bug has caught up with Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks in his second pro season. The former Oak Hill Academy phenom played in all 82 games during his first year in the league but saw action in only 63 outings last campaign with norms of 16.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. Jennings is devoting more of his time this summer working on fundamentals as he looks forward for a stronger showing next campaign, according to the Journal Sentinel.
“I'm just getting back to the basics of basketball. Just working on my fundamentals. Getting set back last year with the injury made me have a different approach to the game. It's not (taken for) granted. Next year will be my third year and I need to establish myself as one of the best point guards and one of the best players in the game. It's just trying to get better and better every day. Working with Scott Skiles (before the lockout), getting in the weight room, dedicating the summer to strictly basketball. It's going to be my third year, so it's time to become an all-star.”
