NBA Baller Brandon Jennings Shows up at the NC Pro Am!!!

Brandon Jennings on the court at the NC Pro Am

Milwaukee Buck's star Brandon Jennings played with Austin Rivers at the North Carolina Pro Am Thursday night, August 4th. At 21 years old Jennings is about the age of most of the college players at the Pro Am. Yet, talent advantage he has over most of the college guys was clear. No one on the court could keep Jennings in check(see videos below). Jennings' young NBA career has already produced a 50 point game, so the Pro Am competition was no problem. Jennings looks very small on the court. Jennings seems to be a little taller than 6 feet and weighs about 165, but his elite quickness made him impossible to guard.

Sutton is too strong for Rivers. Rivers could never really get it going this night and he could not slow Sutton down, as well.

Too easy for Dominique Sutton!

Austin You're not in High School anymore!

Future Duke star Austin Rivers at the NC Pro Am

Austin Rivers' confidence was visibly shaken at the Pro Am. He never regained his composure that night. Watch the video below for the details.


Incoming Duke freshman Michael Gbinije trying to console his teammate Austin Rivers on the bench.

There was another site who posted a story about incoming Duke freshman Austin Rivers at the NC Pro Am and their heading was "Austin Rivers and Ryan Kelly put on a show at NC Pro Am." Both Rivers and Kelly have played well, but Wednesday night belonged to North Carolina Central's Dominique Sutton. Rivers showed up at the game late and as soon as he checked in the game, Sutton was all over him. The crowd went crazy and the small gym became thick with intensity. Rivers recovered and knocked down the shot, but then lost his temper and two hand shoved Sutton. After this altercation River hit a few shots, but never regained his composure. Most would say this was a "freshman" mistake.

Rivers and Sutton still going at it! The whole team has to get involved. It was a heated summer night at the Pro Am!

Rivers was really frustrated by the incident. Here he is explaining himself to the referee and trying to get past the altercation with Sutton.

Sutton drives by Rivers and dunks and Sutton gets the "and one."

Still, Rivers had his moments. Rivers gets the better of Sutton on the other end.

Sutton's team destroyed Rivers' team that night! Even though Sutton's team was at a disadvantage when it came to talent. Rivers played with his Duke teammate Miles Plumlee, but they could not stop Sutton and his teammates from running all over them!

NC Pro AM videos Thursday July 26th Part II


Look how easy the game is for Ryan Kelly. It makes you wonder why Kelly only averaged 6 points a game last year. Kelly doesn't take it to the hole enough, but Kelly did play with a lot of aggressive confidence. Kelly is long, he looks every bit 7 foot. Kelly should be much improved for the Blue Devils this year.

Portland Trailblazers star Raymond Felton knocking down the 3 ball!

Fat Felton making it look easy. As good as Andre Dawkins has looked at the Pro Am, there is no way he can contain a veteran NBA starter like Felton. Felton is clearly out of shape, you can see his gut, but that does not stop him from effortlessly dropping a dime.

Dominique Sutton has been playing like a man possessed. This is Sutton catching an alley-oop. Sutton will play for North Carolina Central this year. It is hard to believe at that level, he will not dominate this year. The Pro Am is not exactly the NBA, but there is some really good talent at the Pro Am, even though the defensive intensity is lacking at times. Sutton is quick, fast, strong, intense, long, has great leaping ability, and has every skill a good shooting guard needs. Sutton is not intimidated by any of the big names. Dominique has played as well as anyone at the Pro Am. If one had to make a decision between who was better, Andre Dawkins or Dominique Sutton, it would be too hard to make.

Another dunk by Sutton. He had too many to count Thursday.
