NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — A person with knowledge of the details says that Brandon Jennings has agreed to a deal with the New York Knicks.
Jennings will finally join the Knicks after they passed on him in the 2009 NBA draft, the person told The Associated Press on Monday, confirming reports of the point guard’s one-year, $5 million deal.
The Knicks took forward Jordan Hill with the No. 8 pick in 2009. Jennings went two picks later to Milwaukee, and he hurt the Knicks with a series of strong performances when he played against them.
