WakaFlocka Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 He played a little last night, no clue beyond that. I'm sure others will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLHawks3 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I turned off the TV by half. From what I saw he isn't in basketball shape yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member cam1218 Posted November 5, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 He played but he looked like he hasn't played in awhile. Glad he is back though, hopefully we can find him enough minutes to get his confidence back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameTime Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Jenkins is just another spot up shooter that can't do anything else. That being said, so was Danny Green. Hopefully Bud can teach him how to be adequate on defense, play knowing his limitations and get his confidence up. If not he may not last after ASW. Sounds like good trade filler for Ferry.

I'd still won't blame him, he did ok considering he was recovering from a back injury and wasn't in basketball shape. Bud needs to slowly get him into the rotation. Same thing applies to Lou. I expect him to suck his first game back, but as soon as he's getting more in shape, and that muscle memory begins to proceed, then they should be good.

Gray Mule Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I thought he looked very rusty. Getting over this will be time consumingbut should be worth it. When he came out of college, he was said to bethe best pure shooter available. This doesn't just go away. It just requires some polish to remove the rust.He will require patience from Bud and from us. He's not an old man. Thisability to hit those shots are still there. Question: Is it possible that he canbe sent back down to the D-League and let him play himself back into shape? GO HAWKS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted November 8, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Who needs Johnny Ca$h to be the Man of Steel? Most just want him to be on par with Jared Cunningham, who was first off the bench yesterday. Has C-Viv gotten Bud to cough up any quotes about the Human DNP-CD, outside of "he's available"? I've stopped paying attention. Could another trip to Bakersfield be in his immediate future? ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we had to pick it up by 11/1 or lose the option right? Edited November 8, 2013 by macdaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind. I think we had to pick it up by 11/1 or lose the option right? Yeah, he'd have been a UFA otherwise. Jared's was not picked up so he will be one. My hunch is since his October back injury was a flare-up of the same injury from this past summer, Bud is keeping Jenks "available" until he's absolutely sure Jenks can play steady minutes, and Bud can sense from practice and communication with the training staff how far along he is. He's probably getting him to work on his defensive shortcomings, too, but the whole team should be working on that. They're already coughing up 105 points a night without much help from him. Another crazy thought: Maybe they're working behind-the-scenes on his ballhandling skills, prepping him as an interim third-string PG in case they elect to cut Mack loose once Gus Ayón returns, and until Lou gets healthy enough to come back and contribute. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
