Pros:

Fairly solid shooter
Decent scorer off the dribble

Summary:

Daniss Jenkins is an agile, skilled point guard that played at three different schools before playing for St. John’s for the 2023-24 season. He had a solid season this year, and he is a skilled playmaker that excelled at making plays on both ends of the floor. He may need to show NBA teams that he can adjust to playing more of a supporting role as he may not have the ball in his hands as often as he did in college, but Jenkins may have the skills to make his way to the NBA.
