The 5th smallest player ever in the LOGO didn't stop one 5'7" 170lb player from excelling at the High School and Collegiate Level.

A 2nd Team All-American before he was done in Johnson City, Tennessee and the East Tennessee State University Buccaneers. I remember watching MISTER Jennings in the NCAA Tourney and how he controlled the floor no matter who he was playing.

Jennings is 4th on the All-Time NCAA list with Helpers at 983 and 13th All-Time in Thefts with 334. A Four-Year Starter for the Buccaneers he went undrafted his 1st year out of STATE and then was picked up on a 3-year deal with the Golden State Warriors.

Playing for the Warriors he joined the likes of Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin..a whole 2/3 of Run TMC. Also was on the roster when the Warriors selected Chris Webber aka C-Webb of the Maize and Blue.

Jennings played a whole 3 seasons with the Warriors and then toiled in Pro Ball over the Big Pond.  He joins the likes of Tyrone "MUGSY" Bogues, Earl Boykins, and Spud Webb as some of the shortest to ever lace them up in the LOGO.
