What they're saying:

ESPN: He's a super athletic point guard with great size for his position. If he can prove to scouts in workouts that he can shoot the basketball (he shot just 19 percent from three in Europe) he'll be a Top 10 pick.

Collegehoopsnet.com: Jennings should be used to the spotlight since his decision to skip college and head to Europe garnered him so much attention. The year spent in Italy should do wonders for his game (mentally and physically) but he probably is still a few years away from being a big-time NBA point guard.

NBADraft.net: An extremely quick and explosive player … Plays with cockiness and confidence that is necessary to succeed at the top level … His wingspan and leaping ability put him in a rare category of point guards … Has great open court speed and likes to attack in transition.

HoopsHype.com: Flamboyant and exceptionally talented lefty point guard with a flair for the spectacular and the demeanor of a star. Terrific athlete and flashy ball-handler who can change gears on the fly and create shots with a wide-array of impressive moves. A natural passer with exceptional court vision.

DraftExpress.com: Excellent skill-level…offensive creativity…true point guard…ability to create own shot…ability to create with either hand.
