Brandon Jennings, Bucks (Last Week Ranking: #1) ’09-’10: 23.4 ppg, 5.8 apg, 4.5 rpg, 1.2 spg My ’09-’10 Prediction: 12 ppg, 7 apg, 2 spg He is single-handedly reviving the Bucks franchise as they are out to an 8-5 start.  Jennings scoring has dipped since Michael Redd returned from injury, but more so because Jennings has shot 10-36 in those two games. 2.

Their games are not sought after by the National Basketball Association's television partners when the schedules are cast. In that five-year span, the Bucks have played on national television just four times, usually against an opponent with national appeal. If you count just the last four seasons, the Bucks have been on national TV ...

With that being no secret, guard Michael Redd doesn't deny there is a possibility he could be traded before his contract expires in the summer of 2011. But that's not what Redd wants.
