Young, smart, stoked

And that was before the Milwaukee Bucks rookie took apart the Pistons in the third quarter Saturday night.
Jennings delivers again
After a sluggish first half, the Bucks turned to rookie Brandon Jennings, who was coming off a near triple-double in his NBA debut on Friday. This time Jennings showed he can score, too, finishing with 24 points to lead the Bucks to a victory.
