Jazz draft Taylor Hendricks at 9

[prodigy]

Sometimes the most obvious pick is the best pick. Think he fits in fantastic with our group. He needs to get stronger and a little more aggresive, but he'll get there.

What a haul!

Rudy and Favors didn't work on offense because they both needed to score in the paint.

Kessler and Hendricks is going to be a dream on both sides of the court. We're so ****ing set at SF, PF and C. Hendricks alone made my night.

Hendricks is one of 10 freshman ever to make 35 threes and 35 dunks in the same season. 7 out of the last 9 we’re top-7 picks and the last one to do it was Ben Mathurin.

Kessler, Lauri, Hendricks that's a good frontcourt with some big positives....but at the same time that's 3 players who are best away from the ball on both ends. I like Hendricks as an off ball defender, do not like him on the ball against quicker players or strong physical wings.

It's puts the onus on the backcourt to 1) do all the playmaking 2) be the on ball defenders.

The one bright spot from tonight. The kid got all the tools for modern NBA success. If he ever develops his on ball skill, watch out

I'm getting Chris Bosh vibes from him.

I don’t think I have ever seen a team come out and say that the guy they picked was the same ranking as their board except for at the very top of the draft where it’s obvious.

Wild they released that comment lol.

Thought the same. We thought the guy we picked at 9 was barely better than the guy we picked at 16… welcome to the team!
