Around the Herd: Brandon Jennings' thrilling first week, Ricky Ledo gets hot, Joel Bolomboy's big-time production, and more

Brandon Jennings' big first week Brandon Jennings ' career with the Herd is off to a flying start. After dazzling the home crowd with a 31-point performance on Wednesday night, the point guard followed it up with a pair of 29-point games in which he showed his scoring and play-making ability is as good as -- if not better than -- it's ever been. Always fun to watch, the former first-round pick (Bucks, 2009) has electrified crowds with superb ball-handling (including a beautiful behind-the-back dribble, step-back 19-footer combo that had the Air Canada Centre crowd buzzing on Sunday) and has shown a veteran's savvy in drawing contact and getting to the free-throw line.
