Emerging John Jenkins trying to shoot way onto Knicks

John Jenkins

There’s one Knick adapting wonderfully to David Fizdale’s attempt at a high-tempo, spread-the-floor offense.

John Jenkins of the Westchester Knicks.

Jenkins, a 3-point shooting machine, is tearing up the G League the same way Trey Burke did last season. The 27-year-old posted a franchise-record 44-point game and leads the G League in scoring with 30.0 points for players with at least four games. He’s shooting a Steph Curry-like 52.8 percent from 3-point land and 95 percent from the free-throw line.

An undersized 6-4 shooting guard, Jenkins hasn’t stuck in the NBA, having played limitedly in stints with Atlanta, Dallas and Phoenix.
