Someone give a scouting report on this guy. Ive heard some hype around him lately but have never actually seen him play. This youtube mix is the first time I've really seen any highlight on him and he looks damn athletic and creative. I know hes suppose to be a PG but if we go by the best player available method, would he be a good selection at #9?

If he's there at 9, we take him. I doubt he drops that far though, he's basically the 2nd highest rated PG in the draft. No way GS or Minny let him pass by.

Golden State's taking him, without a doubt.

God please bless us with Jennings!!!! I'm down with another Tony Parker...or even a solid back up PG like Bassy if he becomes that. Its not like this draft is filled with future all-star players..

Sadly not sold. I think playing in Europe may have hurt his overall game. We are scouting him but I don't think I want him at 9. one of the pros for drafting him would be he is playing with european players and would fit in well in terms of chemistry. Don't think we need a back up project at the point right now. Roko is still here and while I'd like to see an upgrade at that position altogether, I don't think this guy fits the bill at all.

Whoever told him to go to Europe to hone his game should be slapped in the face.

Horrible decision.

I think it was a money move. Who knows what his living conditions are but ya from a basketball standpoint.... ewwwww.

Sebastian telfair? He's terrible and would be an epic failure at #9

In a strong draft maybe but given the alternatives I don't think a Telfair at 9 is too bad he is a decent back up

I think he was forced to because of his grades

Anyways if Jennings drops to 9 we take him without hesitation. I see this as a 5 potential stars in this draft. Griffin, Rubio, Thabeet, Harden, Jennings. After that you're looking at good role players/complimentary pieces

wow... you see star in Jennings? I see potential good pick in a terrible draft.

he always sounds amazing. And it's possible he's getting pretty underrated (out of the limelight, negativity in general since he ditched ncaa)

maybe he'll be TJ Ford with better scoring touch

Seems like a Stephon Marbury to me. Maybe his eurotrip was more developmental for him because it was a humbling experience and he was able to mature. His draft stock may have dipped a bit but he can always make up for it in the long run if he has grown as a player.

^^^ Maybe but his numbers over there are just paltry. Its hard to imagine us taking a chance like that right now. They are looking at him though

A lot of players could actually drop in the draft if teams draft on need and not BPA. However, I can't see GS passing on Jennings, seems like the perfect fit for him.

Jose must've had a really hard time with Mo Williams then, since he's noted twice.

Couldn't remember it was probably Louis Williams... Does it really matter I think I got my point across
