Professional career
NBA: Golden State Warriors
In the 2011 NBA draft, combo guard Jenkins was selected in the second round (44th overall) by the Golden State Warriors after the team had taken shooting guard Klay Thompson with their first-round pick (11th) earlier in the night.[11] Due to the 2011 NBA lockout, Jenkins signed with the Italian team Teramo Basket of the Lega Basket Serie A on November 24, 2011.[12] However, the lockout ended within two weeks and he left Teramo without playing any games for the club.
On December 9, 2011, he officially signed with the Warriors, coached by
Heading into his second season at Golden State, twenty-three-year-old Jenkins participated in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas throughout July 2012. Playing alongside Warriors teammates such as rookie Harrison Barnes and fellow second-year player Klay Thompson, Jenkins had a good showing as the team won each of its five games with Jenkins the top scorer in two of them.[19] Just before the Summer League, in anticipation of Robinson leaving, the team had signed point guard Jarrett Jack[20] with the question of who would be Curry's primary backup in the upcoming season, Jack or Jenkins, initially left open.[15]
Once the season began, Jenkins saw his role on the team diminished severely, getting very little playing time with Curry back healthy and newly-acquired Jack getting most of the backup minutes. On February 21, 2013, Jenkins was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers for a second-round draft pick.[21]
Philadelphia 76ers
Joining the struggling Sixers, a team well out of the playoff spots and on the verge of tanking for a better draft position, Jenkins was again relegated to the bench, getting sporadic minutes way down in the pecking order behind guards preferred by head coach Doug Collins such as Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Nick Young, Damien Wilkins, and even the newly-acquired Justin Holiday who joined several weeks after Jenkins.[22]
At the end of the season, with no firm NBA offers other than several training camp invitations, Jenkins began considering Europe as an option via instructing his agent to pursue those opportunities as well, revealing in later interviews he first got alerted to professional basketball outside the U.S. by fellow Philadelphia benchwarmer Jeremy Pargo who had explained the European club basketball system to him during one of their Sixers team flights while offering personal advice "not to settle for an NBA journeyman career since there is life in European basketball".[23]
Moving to Europe: KK Crvena zvezda
On July 30, 2013, following interest from Maccabi Tel Aviv and Olimpia Milano, Jenkins signed a one-year contract with the Serbian team Crvena zvezda,[24][25] citing its superior financial offer as his main consideration due to having no specific knowledge of any European clubs.[23] Joining the squad coached by Dejan Radonjić, Jenkins came in alongside a number of acquisitions—including center Boban Marjanović, coveted small forward Blake Schilb, shooting guard Jaka Blažič, and power forward Ivan Radenović—as the Adriatic League runner-up looked to reinforce on all positions ahead of its return to Euroleague after 14 years as well as continuation of the chase for its first Adriatic League title domestically. With experienced returning players—point guard DeMarcus Nelson in his second season with the team, small forward Marko Simonović, and center Raško Katić—newly-acquired Schilb, coming off a great Euroleague season with Élan Chalon and signed to a 3-year contract, was projected to lead the team in Euroleague.[26]
With Schilb as the focal point of coach Radonjić's setup initially, Jenkins was mostly coming off the bench while sharing minutes at the two position with Blažič along with occasionally backing up compatriot Nelson at point guard. Drawn in a
In 2014–15 season, Crvena zvezda won the Adriatic League championship, the Serbian League championship and the Radivoj Korać Cup.
Seasons in Europe
On July 8, 2015, Jenkins signed with Italian club
On July 15, 2016, Jenkins returned to Crvena zvezda, signing a two-year deal.[30] In 2016–17, he led the EuroLeague in steals, with 2.1 per game.[31] Jenkins was also named 2017 ABA League Playoffs MVP, where he averaged 12.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and average PIR of 15.2.[32]
On June 29, 2017, Jenkins signed a two-year deal with Russian club Khimki.[33] Jenkins played for HBC Sicklerville in the 2018 edition of The Basketball Tournament. He scored 3 points and had 2 rebounds in the team's first-round loss to the Talladega Knights. In the 2018–19 EuroLeague season, he averaged 6.9 points on 42.0% three-point shooting, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 steal per game over 29 games.
On July 5, 2019, Jenkins signed a two-year deal for Crvena zvezda. It is his third stint with the Zvezda.[34][35]
On June 20, 2020, Jenkins signed a contract with Greek club Olympiacos of the EuroLeague.
