In a recent interview, new Knicks guard Brandon Jennings said he was unsure where he would end up prior to signing in New York.
“I really had no idea,” Jennings told Complex Sports. “Nobody really wanted to give me a chance because of my Achilles injury. Teams were saying they didn’t know where I was at and how I looked. So I feel like this year is a year where I’m just betting on myself.”
Jennings and the New York Knicks agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract in July. The 27-year-old Compton guard averaged seven points per game coming off the bench for Orlando after Detroit dealt him mid-season.
