Jennings certainly isn't a top 20 player. I would say 50-60 range, which is good enough to make him a top 3 player on a decent team (e.g. Milwaukee), but he would have to be a role-player on a contender.

It's interesting how players like this tend to play out in free agency. Some mediocre team will likely offer Jennings 80% of a max contract (~12M/yr) to be a top 3 guy on their team, further locking themselves in mediocrity.

I'd say Jennings is on a par with Mike Conley,
Jeff Teague, Goran Dragic and such.
Solid starter, still has potential to get better.
Always a notch below the All-Star point guards.
Just a list of point guards who I would choose over Jennings:
CP3
DRose
Westbrook
Lowry
Nash
Rondo
Irving
DWill
Lawson
Lillard
Steph Curry
Holliday
(even) John Wall

top 10 PG.. after the star pg's (paul, williams, westbrook, rondo, etc) theres not many others of that position better than Jennings.. people just like holding his rookie year where he didnt shoot that well against him.. He's like rudy gay, in the sense that he's not up there with Lebron, Melo and Durant.. but he's right there after them

Jennings is better than Nash at this point but who would really admit to that

Yeah that's fair IMO.

I'd rather have Jennings than Wall. And probably Nash because Nash is like 800 years old.
