2002 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Jennings is a first rate shot-blocker due to his great timing and long arms ... Unlike many centers Jennings is very comfortable facing the basket where he can shoot a nice mid-range jumper out 17 feet ... One of the things that makes Jennings attractive is that he is very coachable and posses a very good work ethic ... When posting up Jennings can catch most passes thrown into the lane as he owns a pair of soft hands ... Shows good touch around the basket when shooting tip-ins and put-backs ... Understands what he can and can't do offensively and rarely tries to over step his physical bounds ... Due to his size he can absorb contact in the lane and draw fouls ... Once at the free throw line he is an uncommonly good free throw shooter for a player his size and position ...

Weakness: Despite being one of the tallest players in his conference rarely does he take full advantage of his size seems content to shoot over shorter player when he should physically post them up and power to the basket ... Doesn't excel in a fast paced offense as he isn't the fastest runner but more of a plodding runner ... Foul trouble hurts his production due to his tendency to go after every shot which can lead him to pick-up cheap fouls ... Passing skills leave a little to be desired though it's not because he lacks court vision ... Not a physical player for his size as Jennings doesn't really enjoy mixing it up in the paint ... Rebounding remains a sore spot as he isn't the most explosive leaper and doesn't get any rebounds out of position ... Plays the game game with a calm demeanor which has made some wonder about his intensity ... Should work on his offense with his back to the basket ...
