He was just so invisible early in the year.

He broke his ankle at the end of August. I don't think he even started practicing until right before the season and probably should have been held out a little longer to allow him to get fully healthy and his legs under him.
 
At the end of the day GMs and teams like prospects with size, athleticism, defensive potential with switching ability and being able to shoot. I think there's a real possibility when factoring all that in Taylor Hendricks is a top 3 prospect. I have Hendricks rated above scoot and just below Brandon Miller.

That fact that a lot of us are hoping Anthony Black or Cason Wallace jump into the top 8 so Hendricks drops to 9 is irrelevant. Taylor Hendricks could legitimately go top 3 or 4 come draft night. A guy who is 6'9 and a tremendous defensive player who can shoot it and has a modern 4 NBA body that can play down low or on the wing ain't dropping to the 9th pick. It sucks because I want the Jazz to get him but realistically I think we're going to have to trade up for him or get really lucky in the lottery

Probably thinking of Michael Kidd Gilchrist. His shot was a special kind of broken though and wasn't the athlete that the Thompson twins are.

Thats the one. Thanks for the response and good points. I loved him and thought he would be awesome. He sucked. I loved justice winslow too and he sucked. (not sure if he is same level of athlete and broken shot or not too)

Are you a fan of the team he played for?

The gap between Hendricks and Walker is about as wide as the gap between their 3PT% this year.

What is the gap between their 3PT% this year?
