Brandon Jennings emerged from the informal workouts at The Palace practice facility, looking somewhat similar to the figure who departed to California after last season’s disappointing, playoff-less finish.
Playful swagger? Check.
Rare introspection? Check
Twenty-five extra pounds? Check…wait, that wasn’t here last season
“I’m about 185, 190 on my good days,” said Jennings, noticeably thicker but still wiry.
Training camp doesn’t begin until the first day of October but Jennings and his other 14 teammates have all been at The Palace for a few weeks, per new coach/president Stan Van Gundy’s request.
“Usually guys come in and you don’t see them until media day,” Jennings said. “It’s good, we’ve been together for three weeks strong, preparing for the season.”
