New York Knicks chose John Jenkins for one specific reason

The 27-year-old shooting guard just signed a two-year contract to remain in New York, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. It’s an interesting move on the Knicks’ end, especially since Jenkins has played in just two games for them this year.
