Hey watched tape on this guy he's impressive. Doug likes one on one slashers a lot ? Anyways this dude is strong , has great handles and attacks like a demon. I can see why the Warriors looked him because he's straight cold.

He sure isn't the 2nd coming of Speedy Claxton... because dude is S L O W

Basically you have a combo guard who's got a great midrange jumper but little else to back it up right now. Solid handles, can slash sometimes but gets into trouble a lot like that, not that much of a shot creator/facilitator, more like a start point for an offensive set. Defense is solid, nothing great there. He could be a solid backup PG down the road, but like as said before here, he needs to either get a 3pt shot or become more of a creator to really stick in the L. Not bad to take a flyer on him, especially since its extremely unlikely GS ever sees your 2nd rounder. He's basically free, good luck.

The more I read about Jenkins' story the more I like the dude, hope he does well here and makes a name for himself (obviously, for both our sakes).

He's got glue written all over him.....j/k
Seriously....All BS aside...Looks like a steady player and that may be what we need from the backup PG position. Does he defend? Thats the big thing. His offensive game reminds me of Aaron Mckie a little bit. He should get a shot with us with Pargo and Ivey being his competition. Musical backup point guards? Doug is gonna play that you know it.
From what i've seen of him I like him....as a backup. I like Pargo too so i'm rooting for both of them but only one comes out alive.

This deal is all about options for a backup PG for 2013-14. Pargo and now Jenkins. It'll be interesting to see if he gets any run.

really hope Charles Jenkins gets some burn from you guys. The dude is a workaholic, has a NASTY mid-ranged jumper, can really get to the rim (kinda regressed this season though due to less PT behind Curry-Jack and having less opportunity) and can even set up some nice plays. He needs some work on his handles although he's already pretty solid, needs to add the 3.. but overall, he was a lovable guy and played his heart out whenever he had the chance. I can see him being a really solid backup PG some day. Still really young and has a lot of time to grow. Hope he balls out for you guys.
