Id realy like to see him go 1 on 1 with Dujuan Wagner. I think Jenkins could beat him. I cant see why he never got drafted.

I would rid of Ward just to make a spot for him.

Some background from Hoopsnews.net

NBA Counterparts: Best Case - Darrell Armstrong; Worst Case - Elliot Perry

Upside:
Outstanding athlete with incredible jumping ability - winner of the college dunk contest. Decent shooter, good ballhandling, an explosive scorer. Has good quickness and anticipates well on defense.

Downside:
May be overhyped due to playing against division three competion - his stock has fallen at the Nike Desert Classic. Not a true point guard, needs to develop passing skills more and increase awareness offensively.

Chances at Success:
Jenkins is unlikely to make much of a mark in the league, if he survives in it. Up until recently he had been considered this year's Speedy Claxton, but hasn't shown that same type of blazing speed against higher competition. The Chicago camp will go a long way in deciding his draft status.
PURE KNICKS LOVE

falcindor: I think that going one on one is fine and dandy, but the idea is that its a team game, he's gotta show that he can work on other skills and participate in a professional organized scrimmage, i think thats a big problem with a lot of young players, they think they can just step on the court, but the way the league works is that they want players to show the practice skills and the ability to want to learn and not think they are all stars before ever setting foot on a court...this is one of the reasons european players have begun to make a mark because they are better prepared in all facets of the game, not just dunking ;).

Isn't Jenkins already 28 years old? That might be one of the reasons he never got drafted. It's the same as Lee Benson this year.
