Note that 2023-2024 was the year from hell for them when they had a ton of injuries.

His team never finished in the bottom half of the league in defense and he’s had two top-10 offenses.

Another thing of note with Jenkins is that he has experience with the double-big alignment.

Jaren Jackson Jr. started with Valanciunas, Steven Adams, and Zach Edey in Jenkins’ tenure.

Worth noting with Sarr/AD projected to be the starting 4/5 next season.
