If Jenkins gets drafted that could completely destroy Marallac’s assessment of him and put him over the edge. 
Daniss Jenkins
- Thread starter paultzman
- Start date
RP has always been incredibly loyal to his Players and I think he had special admiration for Jenkins .
If Rick touts Jenkins abilities to NBA Teams I am sure more than a few listen to his assessments .
In hindsight , although a fantasy , it would have possibly been a even more successful season if Clayton jr had transferred as well .
I think RP had visions of that tandem running wild in the BE .
And, that’s a . Bad thing ?If Jenkins gets drafted that could completely destroy Marallac’s assessment of him and put him over the edge.
Wager accepted - but I'm not going to Alabama to pay or collect. You'll have to let me know when you're in town.I’ll go in for a sip
Personally, I don't see any way Jenkins gets drafted, even in such a weak draft. However, I do think it's quite possible he can latch on to a team as an undrafted free agent, maybe on a two way contract. With him being such a quality individual and leader, on top of the skillset he possesses, I don't see why he couldn't have an impact to what JaKarr Sampson was able to do in the right situation, or to a lesser extent Champagnie (but not necessarily as a starter).

I'm willing to bet a large amount that DJ will be playing summer league at the very least in a few weeks and I think there's a strong chance he ends up like Julian with a 2 way contract for someone eventually. He's got a ton of intangibles as a guard that work in the NBA. He can shoot, he can run an offense, he's got great size for an NBA guard and he can defend. He would be a great bench piece for a winning team.
Jenkins couldn’t get drafted in North Korea.
Mullin’s Revenge could play summer league.
Jenkins will be in the G-League. Outside of general improvement in all areas, the two things he has to do to have any real chance of making a roster is: being more comfortable initiating contact/getting to the foul line/making baskets in crowded spaces, and his defense. Those two things are just not close to being up to par. Someone with his ability and quickness should've been averaging a lot more than 2 FTAs
Who--Jenkins or Marillac?
Lol.
The BE usually does not get a lot of kids drafted. While this year’s Draft isn’t considered Elite .
The BE might do well with Castle, Clingan , Carter , Kolek,being pretty well locks .
Additionally Schierman will probably be late 1st or 2nd round .
A surprise to me is that Tristan Newtown , BE POY doesn’t get much respect in the Draft . At least , that seems to be the case on him so far .
I don’t understand that . He was a terrific player for UCONN the last 2 years

Undrafted Free Agency Guide Part II
After a successful part one, here are another five names you must know more of before draft night. Each year has its undrafted free agency success stories. Better tap in early rather than be too late.

Undrafted Free Agency Guide Part II
After a successful part one, here are another five names you must know more of before draft night. Each year has its undrafted free agency success stories. Better tap in early rather than be too late.
Where Jenkins was a ball-dominant guard at Iona, he got more accustomed to sharing the ball-handling duties among his teammates at St. John’s, a positive development that has to continue in the G League.
What games did this guy watch?
Not totally laughable. DJ 's APG improved 10% YOY on 9% fewer minutes.
He also shot it 5% less per game than at Iona in 2022-'23, but on fewer MPG, so that's a wash.
All-in-all, one of our better players last year and did energize our offense, despite being a bit of a 'chucker'.
The point I was making was guys who watched a lot of Iona the year before talked about how Daniss & Clayton shared point guard duties and the ball whereas with SJU Daniss was clearly ball dominant. Had nothing to do with whether he was a good player for us (he was) or his shots but the author seemed to have the seasons reversed with this comment - Where Jenkins was a ball-dominant guard at Iona, he got more accustomed to sharing the ball-handling duties among his teammates at St. John’s,
