Hendricks vs Walker

[SoberasHotRod]

Taylor Hendricks vs Jarace Walker, who do you like better?

I'm just curious what people think here. I know this isn't likely a choice we get to make at 9, but still curious what the consensus is.

I like them both, but Walker's upside for passing gives him the edge for me.

I go back and forth on these two. I really like them both and would be thrilled if one of them slipped to us at 9.

I see their future careers pretty similarly. I think they both end up as really good roll players on winning teams. They both do a lot of good stuff that helps teams win, but doesn't necessarily come with all star selections.

Tay Henny... but give me either at #9 and I'm thrilled.

If Walker can't shoot I worry he becomes a tweener big like Onyeka Okongwu.... so the shooting with Hendricks is really important.

If Walker shoots it the passing becomes a good deal to layer on and makes him the better player than Taylor most likely. I just think we've seen guys like Mikal Bridges who are 3 and D role players expand out their games... and Hendricks could absolutely do that.

so close for me. i think hendricks is probably the better player right now due to his shooting, but walker's potential is pretty special. relying on potential is scary, however. gun to my head, i think i take walker, but ask me tomorrow my answer may be different. that's how close they are.

That is a tough one for me. They both fit a need too. I lean slightly toward Hendrix, but either would be great on the Jazz.

Hendricks is bigger and a better shooter.

Hendricks, and it's not close.
