James Jenkins III
About James
Expert Analysis
Eric Wallace | Prep Hoops Scout
The talented scorer from DME Academy moves all the way up to #11 in our 2028 rankings on the heels of an outstanding spring with MBJ Elite on the adidas 3SSB circuit. Jenkins scored nearly 23 points per game over 8 games against strong competition from around the country. The lefty scoring wing has a high basketball IQ and proved to be a three level scorer who can create offense off the bounce. He has good strength and is a better than average athlete, which also allows him to compete on the glass and on the defensive end of the floor.

Read EvaluationAndrew Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
Jenkins had one of the stronger live period weekends in the class. The 6-4 combo guard averaged 25.8 PPG, 6.1 rebounds, and shot 50% from the field and from three during 3SSB Session II. Bigger guard who brings scoring punch, rebounding, and positional versatility. Comfortable creating off the dribble, spacing the floor, and making plays defensively with his length and activity. His production and efficiency are starting to turn heads in a major way.
