Hawks Draft Recap: John Jenkins?

With the 23rd pick in the NBA Draft a couple of days ago, the Hawks selected the sharpshooter guard John Jenkins from Vanderbilt.

I'm only half okay with this pick. Here's why:

Having drafted the next Willie Green, Hawks presumably no longer need the current one.

Of course, you'll always need a shooter who can come off the bench and hit some open shots. But as Bret LaGree pointed out on Hoopinion, an inexperienced player whose only strength is hitting spot-up jumpers isn't exactly someone who is going to thrive on the Hawks.

Personally, I would have preferred Tony Wroten, Quincy Miller, or Draymond Green at this pick. Perry Jones III wouldn't have been a terrible idea, either. Wroten could have made a nice backup PG to Teague, where (SHOCKINGLY!!) he could have gotten decent minutes.  Miller, Green, and Jones could have all been replacements/backups for Marvin, with Miller and PJ3 both possessing the ability to slide over to the four spot, if necessary.

It just seems that there was much more talent on the board, and the team decided to go with an uber-extreme safe pick; very un-Hawks like. Of course, if Jenkins manages to match Willie's top 10 3-point shooting performance from last season, I will have less of an issue with this.
