Q: Guys you came up with, Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans, they’ve mostly been shooting guards, but it seems like teams are planning on drafting them and turning them into point guards. Do you think that can be done? Can those guys be converted?
A: No, I don’t think so. To be a point guard, it has to be in you. I don’t think you can suddenly be a point guard after one year. You are the leader, you are the quarterback, and that takes a lot of understanding. You have to make the right play, you have to run a team, you have to be a leader, you have to see things out there on the court. People might say, "He can be a point guard in the league." But that is a hard transition. You have to know how to do it. You have to be the one to take the heat when things don’t go right.

jennings never directly referes to holiday or evans in his answer.
also his answer applies more to evans than holiday. except for last year, holiday has always been a one.
Both are combo guards
I think the answer applies to them equally. And although he never directly refers to them, it isn’t hard to see what he’s trying to imply with his statement, especially since the question asks specifically about the two guards. If I were Holiday, I would take this quote to heart and compete like crazy in the upcoming Friday workout =D.
I hate to be a dick

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

holiday is not a combo guard in my book.
most of the time a combo guard is someone who is a two, but can play the one (like d. wade). holiday is a true one who can play the two. thus, i do not define him as a combo guard. the difference is significant and especially relevant to the jennings q and a.
holiday and jennings have a long history of competing against one another. both are from lalala land. i’m sure the competition will be interesting.
