Jenkins said the rookies "are out here doing everything we ask them to do, from the weight-room standpoint to coming out, playing with confidence and playing fast. We're throwing Eric out there with the 'ones' sometimes and he's playing well . . . Shepherd is really good in the slot, has really good feet. He understands different positions and is pretty versatile, and that's hard to get as a young player, especially only being in the system a couple months . . . They're not making the same mistakes [twice], which is what you ask out of rookies, and we'll see what happens when we get to training camp."
