A basketball team is a family. The players, coaches, trainers and many others who impact the team, all make up that family. Being a part of that family, especially one like Villanova’s, is a special experience.
For Villanova junior forward Kris Jenkins, family is more than just basketball. Family means opportunity. It means sacrifice. It means getting a chance to succeed when there might not have been one.
Wildcat fans know that Jenkins has been one of Villanova’s primary offensive sparkplugs over the final month of the season. Jenkins’ offensive game has blossomed this season from strictly three-pointers into being able to score at will from just about anywhere on the floor.
