John Jenkins

John Jenkins represents the resilient side of basketball I find compelling. A pure shooter out of Vanderbilt, drafted 23rd by the Atlanta Hawks in 2012, he kept his career alive by crossing the globe all the way to the Adelaide 36ers in Australia. I admire players who refuse to fade when the NBA spotlight dims and instead chase the game wherever it leads. At 193 cm with a sweet stroke from beyond the arc, he leaned on one elite skill and made it travel. There is real grit in reinventing your stage again and again, and Jenkins clearly has it. I would happily root for him.

John Logan Jenkins III (born March 6, 1991) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Adelaide 36ers of the Australian National Basketball League (NBL). He played college basketball for the Vanderbilt Commodores before being selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 23rd pick in the 2012 NBA draft.
