John Jenkins

Although it’s rare to see third-year players at Summer League, John Jenkins presence is to be celebrated. Jenkins missed most of last season following back surgery, so Hawks fans will be happy to see him healthy, and working to improve his game.

Taken as the 23rd pick of the 2012 draft, Atlanta viewed Jenkins as an elite shooter, but that has yet to transpire on the court for him. Jenkins will be looking to use Summer League to prove his fitness, showcase his silky shot, and hopefully, prevent Hawks fans and management from forgetting about him.
