The Milwaukee Bucks general manager settled much of that debate last June when he selected Brandon Jennings with the 10th overall pick in the draft. The hand-wringing was left to others, including the New York Knicks, who famously passed on Jennings with the eighth pick. Instead the Knicks took power forward Jordan Hill, who didn't even last a full season in New York before being traded to Houston in the Tracy McGrady deal. So on a gorgeous, sunny Monday afternoon at Summerfest, the Bucks were able to trot out Jennings to mix with the team's newly optimistic fans, to sign autographs and to share a few gags with Bango, the team mascot. Later in the day he headed out to Miller Park to throw out the first pitch before the Brewers-Houston Astros game. Jennings is spending most of his summer in Los Angeles with his family, but he's staying in touch with all the changes the Bucks have been making. He was in New York for some promotional appearances last week and attended the NBA draft. And he was happy to see the Bucks select his former Oak Hill (Va.) teammate, Keith "Tiny" Gallon, in the second round after they grabbed 6-foot-11 Larry Sanders of Virginia Commonwealth with the 15th overall pick. "We got some bigs," Jennings said after he concluded his duties at the "Bucks Experience" show at the Summerfest Sports Zone. "Larry Sanders is a guy who likes to rebound, run the floor and dunk, and I love playing with guys like that." A sweet deal It didn't escape Jennings' notice that the Bucks also obtained veteran small forward Corey Maggette in a trade with Golden State, with center Dan Gadzuric and guard Charlie Bell going to the Warriors. "He's a guy who can get to the line," Jennings said of the 30-year-old Maggette, who will be entering his 12th pro season. "That's what we missed last year. He can get you 20 or more (points per game), so I'm excited." Maggette was part of a high-octane Warriors offense that featured shooting guard Monta Ellis and rookie point guard Stephen Curry. "He runs the floor," Jennings said of the 6-6 Maggette. "Even though he demands the ball a lot, that's all right, though. We're going to need somebody who can take over at the end of the game." Free-agent negotiations begin Thursday, and Jennings said he hopes guard John Salmons will choose to return to the Bucks. Salmons helped the Bucks to a 22-8 run to finish the season as Milwaukee qualified for the Eastern Conference playoffs, breaking a postseason drought that had lasted three years. "Me and John had a good thing going," Jennings said. "Of course I want to play with a guy like that again." Jennings was asked about LeBron James' eventual destination in free agency but said with a laugh, "I really don't care." The Cleveland star will begin talks this week with teams including New Jersey, New York, Miami, Chicago and the Cavaliers. The speculation in New York is that James would have been much more interested in the Knicks if they had a better supporting cast, particularly a dynamic young point guard in Jennings. In a New York Times interview last week, Jennings was asked if he ever thought the Knicks gave him serious consideration with the No. 8 pick last summer. "I'm going to have to say no," Jennings said. A better fit And when asked how he might have fit in with the Knicks, Jennings said: "You know, I could have come to the Knicks and things might not have gone down the right way. "Going to Milwaukee actually helped me because my coach, Scott Skiles, taught me a lot, being a point guard in the league himself." Jennings started in all 89 games with the Bucks last season and helped them take a 3-2 lead in an opening-round playoff series against Atlanta before they were ousted by the Hawks. He didn't win the league rookie of the year award, which instead went to Sacramento's Tyreke Evans. But Jennings made the biggest impact of any elite rookie in helping his team improve (a 12-game turnaround). So it was Jennings at Summerfest on Monday, soaking in the attention from a big crowd at the Sports Zone and drawing a long line for autographs. The fans wanted to know what he thought of the Bucks draft and how eager he was for his second season. And they cheered when Bucks television voice Jim Paschke said Jennings "should have been the rookie of the year." Even back home in Los Angeles, Jennings said, people know about the Bucks now. "Now everybody is trying to get on the bandwagon and become a Bucks fan," Jennings said. "I guess that's the good thing about it." --
