Sensabaugh and Hendricks watch thread in gleague

My take right now is that Hendricks can only look so good in the G. His game isnt built for it. He needs the team to get him involved. If you can't self-create in the G or arent hyper active on the interior it's hard to match the gaudy stats of others.

I've watched more G-League and rookies around the league than ever. My takeaway is that I'm not sure the G-League is the best development environment for every player. Riding the pine on an NBA bench isn't either.....but it is a truly different game down there.

For Hendricks, I think where he has the most potential and room to grow is on defense. I don't think the helter skelter G-League game is really helping him much on defense, but maybe he can level up his offensive skills. Personally, I would prefer to have him in an 8-12 minute role in the NBA versus the G-League.

For me if you can play a complete game in the G it means something. I remember when the Stars got Niang he completely changed the team. He made everyone better on both ends and he did everything on the court at an elite level. The Stars went from a garbage team to a consistently good and watchable team. That's the kind of play I have to see in the G to be like "oh, this guy could be something".

Olynyk and Samanic had 14 and 11 minutes against MIN. Based on the callup priority it seems as though Samanic and Potter would get those two rotation spots (Juzang next in line), but please just give those minutes to TH and Bryce.

Sounds like Hendricks has the best shot of playing tonight out of any of the call-ups. He’s the only who was at the shoot around.

Agree. The Stars don't pass the ball around much. You can often see Hendricks wide open behind the arc while his teammates want to try scoring themselves.
