Jennings is a phenomenal talent, but it’s hard to tell whether his game will always just be too wild for anyone to get the best out of it. It will be fascinating to see the impact Stan Van Gundy has on Jennings, as if anyone can teach him greater discipline, and improve his fundamentals, you’d expect it to be SVG.

For all his 50-point outings, it could just prove to be a case of Jennings being too wild for anyone to tame. Rely upon him at your peril.
