JTB Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 KEVIN MARTIN Seriously guys...cant you see Jenkins turning into the next Kevin Martin? I mean Martin is a great shooter who I will say is slightly more athletic than Jenkins. Neither can play defense. The only difference is that Martin is more aggressive offensively and he thats something Jenkins can learn to be no problem. Maybe Im dreaming but I can see Jenkins turn into the next Kevin Martin..I mean this kid has upside and with that sweet ass jumper of his he can become deadly really quick! I mean its not like Durant is ultra athletic or can play defense cause Durant clearly can't do neither yet he is a star in this league because he shoots extremely, extremely well Get Jenkins to be more aggressive on offense and of course improve his defense and he's the next Kevin Martin.

DrReality Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Agree. He has flashes and plays with confidence. Needs pt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwell Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 nah bad comparison since Martin used to drive and get to the FT line ALOT. Jenkins isn't much of a ball handler at this point. hes just a shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member BrazilianHawk Posted February 24, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 The other guys need to feed him more. There are times Jenk gets wide open and someone else will take a contested shot instead of passing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddielives Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I believe John is in this team's future plans. Specifically I mean he is valued highly and will eventually be an integral part of our rotation getting 20-30 minutes. For the most part, he takes full advantage of his opportunities and hasn't disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonegully Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Develop he ability to attack rim and he will be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted February 24, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I agree, although a lot of the draft analysts like to compare him to Dell Curry. I think Ferry could save a lot of cap space if we promote Jenkins to starter over signing a SG in the offseason. Jenkins has loads of upside and although his defense is suspect at least he gives effort unlike Martin.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited February 24, 2013 by PSSSHHHRRR87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin is 6'7''.Hersey Hawkins, Jeff Hornaceck, Voshon Leonard are all much better comparisons as off the ball scores / shooters who are around the same size as Jenkins. Jenkins may never be as good as Hawkins or Hornaceck but there is a good chance he at least turns out as good as Leonard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 No, he looks like this guy. You're not going to fool me, Johnny Jenkins! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 His ball handling is steadily improving. Gotta love that stroke. When he gets it going, we create serious problems. He just basically fulfilled his expectations: Bilas said he was the best shooter in the draft, he's the best three-point shooting rookie in the league. Score one for Ferry. Coach X took it back with the comparisons. Haven't heard Voshon Leonard's name in at least 15 years, but I bigged up Hornacek not too long ago. If Jenkins developed into him I'd be ecstatic.

If he turns into Dell Curry, that would be great for the Hawks. Curry was good enough to have absolute monster games when he got hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't deserve to start because the opposing SG would torch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted February 24, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 If you watch his Vandy highlights, you'll find that he's been capable in the past to attack the rim... reminded/reminds me of John Starks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His lack of athleticism hurts him alot. He may improve but idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks was also a good defender. They are entirely different from an athletic perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucastheThird Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Don't know how many people have seen this. but our rookie knows his weaknesses and is working on them. He's a good draft pick by Ferry. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyh2_4YA_K7n2jIwFgEqNmwvL_Raz-U-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
