Scouting report from WalterFootball.com:

2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: John Jenkins
Position: Shooting Guard
Size: 6-4, 215
School: Vanderbilt, Junior
Strengths:
Position: Shooting Guard
Size: 6-4, 215
School: Vanderbilt, Junior
Strengths:
- Deadly three-point shooter
- Catch-and-shoot ability
- Lightning-quick release
- Moves well off screens
- Finding open space to get his shot off
- Uses shot fakes to keep defenders off balance
- Squaring up his body to the basket on shots off screens
- Pull-up jumper
- Free throw shooting
- Deceptive athleticism
- Soild defender
- Quick hands
Weaknesses: - Attacking the basket
- Taking defenders one on one off the dribble
- Creating for teammates
- Ball-handling could improve
- Might struggle guarding NBA two-guards due to a lack of quickness
Summary: Jenkins is one of the deadliest deep shooters in all of college basketball. Any team would love to have a shooter like Jenkins on their roster, but he hasn't shown the full repetoire to warrant being a high pick. Still, I think he is a first-round lock assuming he leaves early, which seems very likely since Vandy will lose their other four starters and be in a re-building mode next season.
Player Comparison: Daequan Cook. Cook has been known as a three-point specialist in the NBA with about 60 percent of his career field goal attempts coming from behind the three-point line. Jenkins certainly can fill that role in the NBA, but has the potential to be more than just a shooter off the bench if he can develop his all-around game - something Cook has yet to really do.
Please do not provoke me. I already have three four warning points on this board. Thank you.

Catch and shoot guy with range. Pretty redundant when they've already got Korver and Morrow. For fantasy he's going to be only a 3 point specialist even if he gets minutes. He's probably not going to be on the radar for standard sized leagues unless the Hawks fall totally out of the playoffs.
