Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Marilyn Dubinski: I’m leaning towards Taylor Jenkins. That might sound weird since Mike Malone helped guide the Nuggets to a championship, but it sounds like Jenkins has a better resume in terms of developing young talent, plus he has Spurs ties. (Not to mention, he’s also young at just 40 years old.) I also find it ironic that an alleged reason for Jenkins’ firing was Ja Morant didn’t like his offensive scheme.
