Brandon Jennings Won't Be 'That Guy' in The Green Room

Everyone's prediction that Brandon Jennings would be the Rashard Lewis/Brady Quinn/Darrell Arthur of the 2009 NBA Draft -- in other words, that Jennings would be the last man standing in the quasi-Green Room at Madison Square Garden -- won't come true. Why? Does Jennings have a lottery promise?

Actually, it's the opposite. Jennings' agent Bill Duffy put out a statement saying that he has advised Jennings and fam not attend the draft because he does "not have a strong grasp of Brandon's draft position." On the one hand, we won't be treated to BJ's angry Tweets in response to Jay Bilas' maniacal cackling as Jennings slips through the first round. On the other, we don't have to listen to Jay Bilas' maniacal cackling, because the ESPN panel will be too busy cackling at (or gasping in horror for) whoever is now the poor Shard/Quinn/D.A. of the year.
