Tenkley played with a cool demeanor against Foster Monday night, showing his potential as a rebounding stretch four who can create some plays in between. He seemed a little hesitant to shoot early on but once Tenkley let it go, it seemed like everything he shot, fell. Most of his shots came from behind the arc but he also showed some mid-range prowess and was effective inside as well.  When Tenkley is comfortable and confident shooting it also opens him up to be a key playmaker for the Rams. He was using the threat of his outside shot to force hard closeouts, eliminate defenders and create gaps going to the hoop. He handles the ball well and generally makes good decisions with the ball. This game was about the full scope of all the skills Tenkley brings to the table, but it seems to start with his ability to shoot the ball efficiently.

Tenkley has a good skillset as a taller player at 6’5 that shows a combination of good strength and shooting. He’s not the prototypical post player, but not solely a wing guy either. He could really succeed as a lower-level college stretch four and I think he’s finally in a good position this season to show that sort of capability. North Thurston has a nice mix of young talent coming into form that should allow Tenkley to focus on what he does best, stroking threes and open mid-range shots, while playing tough defense inside and taking on a lot of work on the glass.

He is a player who can play any position on the floor. He can bring the ball up as a guard or post up down low. He is a solid athlete who gets his points through hard work. He can shoot the three and he rebounds well. He led the team in both scoring and rebounding last year as a junior and will be counted on for both again this season.
