That’s because he exudes maturity and professionalism. While it’s become cliché to say, Jenkins is truly wise beyond his years and admits that he “feels like I’m in my 30s” rather than his 20s. 凤凰城太阳的John Jenkins在今年三月的时候年满25岁了，但是因为Jenkins展现出来的 成熟和敬业精神，即便你跟Jenkins访谈或者跟他很熟的朋友交谈也发现不到这件事，虽 然一直不断在提，Jenkins远比他实际年龄来的更有智慧，说他”像是30多岁”而不是20 几岁也会同意的 It’s rare for such a young player to be considered a veteran leader in the locker room, but Jenkins’ teammates – current and former – view him as an elder statesman even though he’s still just 25 and fighting for job security like many up-and-coming players 这麽年轻的球员却被当成能休息室的领导老将是很不常见的，即便Jenkins只有25岁而且 像是许多浪人球员一样为了饭碗在奋斗，但是他前任和现在的队友却将他视作德高望重的 前辈 Because Jenkins is a consummate professional, he has become a mentor for a number of former teammates despite the fact that he’s not much older than them. 这全是因为Jenkins是个完美的职业球员，尽管许多Jenkins的前队友没比他年长几岁， Jenkins却成为他们的导师 Jenkins started his NBA career with the Atlanta Hawks and, in his second season, he took point guard Dennis Schroder under his wing. When the two met, Schroder was a 19-year-old rookie who was not only adjusting to the NBA, but also getting acclimated to America since he was born and raised in Germany. Even though Jenkins is only two and a half years older than Schroder and still had a lot to learn about the league himself, he did everything he could to help Schroder with his transition. Jenkins left the Hawks in 2015 to sign with the Dallas Mavericks, but the two players have stayed in contact and Schroder remains extremely grateful for everything that Jenkins did for him. Jenkins於亚特兰大老鹰队开始他的NBA生涯，在他第二个球季的时候，他去照顾控卫 Dennis Schroder(德国软豆，下赛季老鹰队主控)，两个人初次见面的时候Schroder只是 个19岁的菜鸟，不仅正在适应NBA而且由於Schroder在德国出生和成长所以也还在适应美 国生活，即便Jenkins才大Schroder两岁，而且自己也得学习许多关於在NBA打球的经验， Jenkins还是在Schroder的过渡时期中尽可能地帮助他，之後在2015年Jenkins离开老鹰跟 小牛队签约，但是他和Schroder还是时常保持联系， Schroder依旧非常感激Jenkins对他 所做的一切 “My man John Jenkins! He was my guy from the beginning,” Schroder told Basketball Insiders. “He helped me with everything, basically. He showed me where to go out to eat in Atlanta, how you take care of your body and that you have to give 110 percent whenever you step on the court. The biggest thing [he taught me] was how to be a professional and be a good teammate. I hope he’s going to get his minutes this year because he’s going to kill it [in Phoenix]! He’s family for life.” Schroder跟Basketball Insiders说 ”我哥们John Jenkins!!打从一开始他就是我的兄弟” “基本上任何事情他都会帮助我，他告诉我亚特兰大可以去哪里吃饭，为了能在场上打出 110%的状态要如何照顾自己的身体，而他告诉我最重要的事情是，如何当一位职业选手和 一位好的队友，我希望他今年可以获得上场时间因为他将会在凤凰城大开杀戒!!，他是一 辈子的家人” Upon hearing Schroder’s quote, Jenkins smiles and responds, “That’s my little brother, man.” 在Jenkins听到Schroder讲的这段内容，他笑着回答”老兄，那就是我弟” Schroder isn’t the only young player Jenkins has befriended and mentored. Last season, Dallas Mavericks rookie Justin Anderson, who is also 22 years old, viewed Jenkins as a big brother type. Even though they only spent half a season together because Jenkins was waived by the Mavs, they remain close. In fact, Anderson stayed at Jenkins’ house this week so that they could work out together and the mentee could continue to pick his mentor’s brain. Schroder并不只是Jenkins照顾过且很要好的年轻球员，上个球季达拉斯小牛年仅22岁的 新人Justin Anderson也视Jenkins如长兄，即使Jenkins和Anderson相处时光仅半个球 季，Jenkins就被小牛释出，但他们关系依然很亲，事实上，Anderson这周才待在Jenkins 的家中以便他们一起训练，这位学员能持续接受导师的意见 “Being with John as a rookie allowed me to not only see what it takes to just be in the NBA, but what it takes to stay in the NBA,” Anderson said. “ Being around him daily at the start of last season showed me different elements that are key to staying in the NBA – from being professional to being patient to being a relentless worker. I tell him daily that he has a sickness, but it’s one that I’m hoping is contagious; I want to catch it because his work ethic is second to very few.” Anderson说“新人时期待在John身旁不仅让我知道NBA是怎麽一回事，而且要在NBA留下来 又是怎麽一回事”，去年季初Jenkins向我展现那些能够待在NBA打球的不同关键之要素， 从成为职业的球员到保持耐心，到成为坚持不懈的球员，我每天告诉Jenkins他病了， 但是我希望被他传染，我想要掌握它，因为他的职业精神是极罕见的 “It’s funny to me because in college, I was always that same guy,” Jenkins said with a laugh. “I’d help recruit guys and then once they’d get here, I ’d show them how to work hard, plan their days out and how to recover. I’m like a maniac when it comes to that stuff. That’s a big reason why Justin Anderson is staying at my place for this whole week. He wants to get right for Tim Grgurich’s camp in Vegas. My fiancée and his girlfriend are cool, so it’s fun. We’re working out and even though I was only with him for half of the year in Dallas, I made sure to help him because he was a rookie. I told him, ‘Look, I’m not the oldest guy on the team, but I know what it takes to keep your body fresh and how to handle an 82-game season.’ I just told him, like I tell all the young guys, ‘How bad do you want this? You’ll get 20 years, max, at this. You might as well go all out.’ That means working as hard as you can, eating right, taking care of your body and having a strong belief system. I try to pass that on to all of the guys I encounter because it’s helped me a lot so far.” Jenkins笑着说“这蛮有趣的，因为我在大学时期也一样，帮助那些学校招募到的球员， 当他们刚进来的时候，我就向他们展现要如何勤奋训练，计画好行程，而且如何让自己 调整恢复过来，当涉及到那些东西时我就变的很狂，这也是为什麽Anderson会一整个礼 拜跟我在一起，他想要恢复正常然後去赌城的Tim Grgurich训练营，我的未婚妻和他的女 友都很酷的答应，所以这很有趣，我会和Anderson一起训练，即便我只在达拉斯跟他相处 半年，我帮他是因为他还只是个新人，我跟他讲”嘿，我不是队中最老的球员，但我知道 如何让你在一个赛季82场比赛中维持住新鲜的身体”，我告诉他就像我告诉其他年轻球员 一样”你对打二十年,拿顶薪非常渴望的话，那你就得全力以赴”，这意味着尽可能的努 力，正确的饮食，保养好你的身体，而且保持强大的信念，我试着传达我所遇到的那群年 轻人因为目前为止这(观念)对我帮助很大 It’s easy to see why Phoenix would want Jenkins around their young, impressionable players. 很容易了解为什麽凤凰城想要Jenkins留在他们易被影响的年轻球员们身旁 The Mavs cut Jenkins on Feb. 22 of this year due to a logjam on the wing, and two days later the Suns claimed his contract off of waivers. He has two years remaining on his deal with Phoenix ($1,050,961 for the 2016-27 season, and $1,178,992 for 2017-18) although both salaries are non-guaranteed. Still, it’ s hard to imagine the Suns letting him go on such a bargain deal, especially if he continues to produce and be a positive influence. 小牛在2/22买断Jenkins因为他们的侧翼很拥挤，而太阳在两天後捡回这张合约，他还有 两年的非保障合约(两年200万)，很难想像太阳会放走这种合约， 甚至Jenkins还能有所贡献并带来正面影响 Last season, Jenkins did his best to help some of the Suns’ younger players, but making those connections wasn’t as easy since he joined the team midseason. Even still, he had a number of good conversations with Devin Booker, who was 18 years old when he made his NBA debut and finished fourth in Rookie of the Year voting. 上个赛季，Jenkins尽最大的努力去帮助一些太阳的年轻球员，但是季中才加入的状况也 不是那麽简单就能有上述那些互动，即便如此，他跟18岁初登场且最终获得最佳新秀第四 高票的Booker有着许多良好的交谈 Now, Phoenix will enter the 2016-17 season with three teenagers on their roster (Booker, Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss) and a total of eight players who are 23 years old or younger. The Suns have brought in a number of veteran free agents to lead – such as Tyson Chandler (last summer), Jared Dudley and Leandro Barbosa among others – but Jenkins will try to do his part to help too in his first full season with the squad. 现在凤凰城迈入2016-2017的球季将会有三名未满20岁(Booker,Chriss,Bender)以及八名 小於等於23岁的年轻球员在阵容里，太阳也有从FA引进一些老将像是去年的Chandler，今 年的Dudley+Barbosa，但是Jenkins在太阳第一个完整球季会做他好他该做的帮助 This side of Jenkins is rarely discussed outside of NBA circles. He acknowledges that it’s likely due to the fact that he’s typically reserved. However, he opens up around teammates because he loves sharing lessons he has learned and passing on any information that he feels can help his peers. In recent months, Jenkins was thrilled to see his friends experiencing success – with Anderson playing very well for Dallas in the playoffs and Schroder emerging as Atlanta’s starting point guard. Jenkins这部分的事情(当导师)很少在NBA文章中被讨论到，他承认可能是因为这种事他 会保留不提，然而，Jenkins跟他周遭的队友畅所欲言因为他喜欢分享他所学过的东西， 而且提供任何他觉得可以帮助同事的讯息，在过去几个月，Jenkins很高兴地朋友们因此 成功---Anderson在季後赛表现出色帮助到小牛，Schroder成为亚特兰大的先发後卫 What’s next for Jenkins could be a breakout season of his own. He has bounced around the NBA a bit since being selected 23rd overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, suiting up for his third team in five years. 下个球季可能是Jenkins破茧而出的一年，自从Jenkins在2012年第23顺位被选进NBA後已 经是五年内换了第三支球队 The fit with the Suns seems very good, though, and he played well after the team claimed him off of waivers in February. Last season, he averaged five points in 13 minutes per game while shooting an impressive 46.7 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from three-point range. In his two starts with Phoenix, he averaged 14 points, seven rebounds and 2.5 assists, while shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from three. 尽管如此，Jenkins跟太阳看似蛮合的，而且在他2月份被释出时太阳捡走他之後， Jenkins打得很好，上个赛季，他在平均每场13分钟的时间内拿到5分，然而他有着令人印 象深刻的46.7%投篮命中率，40.6%的三分命中率，在他两次替太阳先发的时候，他平均14 分7篮板和2.5次助攻，投篮和三分命中率分别为46.2%和42.9% Over the course of his career, he has averaged 5.2 points on 44.9 percent shooting from the field and 36.3 percent from three-point range. He has appeared in 141 regular-season games, but started in just eight games. He has also been to the playoffs twice, appearing in eight postseason games during his time with the Hawks. In his second postseason run with Atlanta, he shot 66.7 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range. 在Jenkins生涯数据里，他平均44.9%的投篮命中率和36.3%的三分命中率拿下5.2分，出赛 141场比赛但只有八次先发，在老鹰时期打过两次季後赛共八场，在他第二次打季後赛时 ，投篮命中率有66.7%外加50%的三分命中率 Jenkins’ career per-100-possession stats – 20.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and one steal – show how much he can impact the game when he’s given minutes. Jenkins生涯每100回合数据—20.2分,5.9篮板,3.2助攻和1次抄截，这展现了他在被赋予 的出场时间内有多麽影响着球赛 In the last two months of last season, when Earl Watson was at the helm for the Suns, Jenkins’ minutes increased – Watson’s interim coaching tag has now been removed. 上个赛季当Watson开始接手执掌太阳的最後两个月，Jenkins出赛时间增加了，而现在 Watson不是代理总教练是正式的 Jenkins fits Watson’s style of play, and there’s no question that he provides value when on the court. Last year, he led Phoenix in three-point percentage (40.6 percent) and elbow shooting percentage (50 percent). This skill set is a perfect fit for today’s NBA with the way shooting and spacing are valued, especially on a team like the Suns that likes to shoot from long distance – ranking 10th in the NBA in made threes per game last season. Jenkins适合在Watson的体系下打球，而且毫无疑问地他能在场上提供价值，去年他让太 阳拿到40.6%的三分命中率和50%的肘区命中率，他的技术能完美配合现今”外线”和”空 间”为高价值项目的NBA，特别能配合一个像是太阳(每场三分球数目联盟排名第十)喜欢 远距离投射的球队 Jenkins is also efficient, ranking second on the Suns in True Shooting Percentage (56.4) behind only Chandler, who obviously does his damage at the basket. Jenkins’ career True Shooting Percentage is an impressive 56.2 percent. He also ranked second on the Suns in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.13) last season, which likely helped earned Coach Watson’s trust down the stretch of the campaign. Jenkins也打得很有效率，在太阳真实命中率的排行榜上高居第二(56.4%)仅次於Chadler ，这展现他投篮的破坏力，Jenkins生涯的真实投篮命中率是惊人地56.2%，另外他也是太 阳上个赛季助攻-失误比第二的球员，这些能帮助他获得Watson教练的信任，在重要关头 时将他摆在场上 Dudley, who re-joined the Suns on a three-year deal worth $30 million, is a fan of Jenkins’ game and believes the sharpshooter could be a difference-maker for Phoenix. 以三年三千万再次回到太阳的Dudley也是Jenkins的粉丝，而且相信这位狙击手能够为凤 凰城带来变化 “Anytime you have a player like John who has a good basketball IQ and is a knockdown shooter, all you need to have is confidence and an opportunity,” Dudley said of Jenkins. “John will get his chance and when he does, he has to make the most of it.” Dudley提及Jenkins说”任何时候你需要像是John具有高篮球智商而且同时也是射手的球 员，他所需要的是自信和一个机会，John将会得到他的机会，而且当他得到的时候他必须 尽可能地去把握住机会” (未完待续) --
