Jenkins has progressed as a prospect in the past year. He has improved his play-making skills by utilizing his quick first step consistently. He is fast in transition and has great vision to hit the open player. His ability to slash into the lane and draw the double team will make him a valuable asset for Jonesboro in years to come.

Jenkins demonstrated a number of skills that should make him a productive player in future years. He has live legs that allows him to get downhill versus defenders with the ball in his hands. However, as he showed at camp, he can also use that athleticism to shoot the gaps on the defensive end. This versatility should point to future productivity for the junior guard. At 5-foot-10 he does a good job of balancing attacking the rim and involving his teammates with the pass. We will be watching Jenkins in future months to come.
