Hey Everyone... Lets Chill on Writing Hendricks Off... TIA

Yea, not meaning to call out anyone specifically. Except you @Handlogten's Heros!!

If we aren't supposed to overreact to an insufficient sample size then really nothing at all should have changed since his name was announced of draft night. why would we question the pick, or maybe do something different if we had a do over if we believe in the threads premise? What other info is informing that opinion?

The messaging from the folks that cover the team have mentioned Taylor is viewed more as a project and not necessarily someone that will get a bunch of time now. That is somewhat fueling this... Its not ideal to have the guy go to the G League for a season or half a season it also doesn't have to change the view of his long term outcome. Just feels like maybe we've been spoiled a bit by guys that came in and were immediately functional.
 
The dude is 19 and has hardly practiced with the Jazz.

He is going to need time to learn and get comfortable.
 
He has shown he can shoot and rebound and is kind of athletic freak. That is a difficult package to round up into a neat package when someone is 19. Aren't the Thompson twins 2 years older than that? I think he is still a mystery box and will be for a couple of years.
 
I don't really care about Luka. I'm OK if he goes away. All he can do is score in streaks. We literally have a six pack of guys like that.

I wouldn't be all that sad if they did not pick up Luka's, Yurtseven's and finally Dunn's guarantee. I know Dunn's will be controversial but is he a future building block piece? He has done everything right and what was asked of him but hey this is a tough crowd and business. We need to save Ryan some cash.

I think this is a pretty interesting thread so far.

The premise is don't overreact to two preseason games where the guy barely played. But I feel like what is actually happening in the thread is Hendricks 'defenders' are coming in here to temper expectations, which could really only be based on said preseason games, right? So like the opposite thing of the threads premise.

These posts from the defenders about playing the long game, and where he sits in the pecking order, etc. If those posts were made on draft night it would be considered an extremely 'hater' point of view and someone who did not like the pick to be so down on him and talking about Hendricks needing to beat out Luka Samanic.

So, one way or another, since draft day the expectations, reasonable opinions, analysis, etc. on Hendricks has obviously shifted around here, perhaps in a pretty major way. Yet we literally only have the two preseason games of sample size that we are not supposed to be overreacting about...

I think Hendricks is better than Luka, and Simone and should get minutes from day one. I wish we didn't trade for Collins. I hate that coaches defer to vets

I would say it is the opposite. Most top 10 guys come in and get regular minutes right away. By regular minutes I mean at least 10-15 minutes a game. Unfortunately he is in a unique situation where we already have 4 legit bigs worthy of minutes.

Also, we haven't played any real games yet lol

Dunn is on a minimum, and Yurt7 is a great insurance policy should anything happen to Kessler for an extended period.
