Daniss Jenkins has waited patiently for a chance to play real minutes for the Detroit Pistons, and he’s made the most of the opportunity.
Jenkins toiled in the G-League last season as a two-way player who only stepped on the floor seven times for the Pistons in mop-up duty. He’s already played in 10 games in this one, four as a starter, and is having the kind of breakout season he probably imagined when he was putting in the work in the G-League and offseason.
Jenkins plays with a little swagger, and you can tell he thinks he belongs.
