Brandon Jennings has signed with Pallacanestro Virtus Roma of the Italian league, meaning the Arizona signee will indeed play in Europe this season and become the first American to spend the year immediately following high school overseas while waiting for the NBA Draft.

"David Stern said when the age limit was put in that this wouldn't force kids to college, that they could still go to the NBDL or Europe," Sonny Vaccaro, who was instrumental in Jennings' decision, said by phone Wednesday. "Well, someone took David's advice."

Specifics of the deal have not been disclosed. But a source close to Jennings told CBSSports.com the elite point guard has signed a three-year, multimillion dollar contract that features a buyout each year designed to protect the Italian team. Meantime, Vaccaro said he will accompany Jennings to Rome next week for a formal press conference.

Michael Beasley can get the ball into the basket pretty easily.

Himself into an elite L.A. club?

Not so much.

The website TMZ.com -- which is the absolute best place in the world to watch videos of celebrities leaving somewhere and getting into cars and driving away -- has footage of Beasley trying to enter Villa in West Hollywood o Tuesday night. The only problem is that Beasley is 19 years old and Villa, like most clubs, is 21-and-up. Thus, Beasley was turned away. And I bet Pat Riley is just shaking his head right now.

Here's the link, if you're interested.

And Michael, if you're reading this, you should try to score a fake ID.

Like McLovin, perhaps.
