The Jennings Euro lottery game has wrapped up rather quickly....and he's off to Rome. Probably the best possible destination for an American on his way across the pond for the first time. Much better than say, Hungary or Estonia. As for his new team, he's signed on to play for Pallacanestro Virtus Roma. I was hoping for Milan Armani Jeans for humor sake, but I guess this mid-level team will do.....
Virtus Roma is considered a midlevel Italian team and is not regarded among the elite clubs favored to reach the Euro Final Four. But the competition at that level is still high. Last season's roster included former American college players Allan Ray (Villanova), David Hawkins (Temple), Christian Drejer (Florida), Erazem Lorbek (Michigan State) and Ibrahim Jaaber (Penn). The point guard spot could be open for Jennings if Roko Ukic signs with the Toronto Raptors, which is a possibility. The only other point guard listed on last season's roster is Italian Jacopo Giachetti.
The most interesting part of the story......Jennings plans to sign a two- to three-year contract. Is that a joke? Seriously, better chance that Bally plays three years for Virtus Roma than Jennings.
As for Arizona, well, they too can play this Euro game.
