Daniss Jenkins is making the most of his first real opportunity in the NBA and breaking out in a way no one saw coming. For the casual fan, it’s been the most unexpected breakout from an unknown player in years. In fact, Jenkins’ sudden explosion is evoking memories of one of the NBA’s most surprising sensations ever: Linsanity.
Daniss Jenkins: the new Jeremy Lin?
While that claim may seem far-fetched, there’s statistical proof to back it up. Jenkins is the first player with at least 18 points in each of his first 3 career starts since Lin in 2012.
