John Jenkins is arguably the best shooter in the 2012 NBA Draft Class
29. John Jenkins Junior 6-4 215lbs Vanderbilt 21 years old SG/PG
2011-12 stats: 33.6 mpg, 20 ppg, 47%fg, 44%3ptfg, 83.7% ft, 3 rpg, 1.2 apg
Projection: Late 1st round
Strengths: John Jenkins is arguably the best shooter in this draft class. He started his career out at Vanderbilt as a spot up shooter, but has progressed into much more. His ability to come off screens and picks, get his feet set and make shots is excellent. He shoots the ball well off the dribble, with range and accuracy. He also has added the in between floater to his arsenal and shoots well from the line. He not only makes open shots, be he makes tough contested shots as well.
Weaknesses: Isn’t much of a defender at this point, if he puts in the effort to become one, he could be a starter on the right team. I would also like to see him take the ball to the hoop more often and draw fouls since he is such free throw shooter. Lacks ideal height at the two guard postion.
