Given Jenkins’ ability to fit right in with Detroit this season, the young point guard has looked more like a seasoned, steady ball handler on the floor for the Pistons. Entering the season, Detroit was in search of a player to take hold of the backup point guard role, and Jenkins steadily worked his way into that position through a series of impactful performances for the Pistons throughout the first half of the season. Most recently, Jenkins was responsible for an 18-point effort against the Knicks in what turned out to be a comfortable 118-80 victory for the Pistons.Â
