Are you saying he has the body to do it or the will/skill?

I agree he has the body but he hasn’t shown any interest or awareness at the collegiate level but you think that will change in the NBA? Serious question.

He isn't nearly as bad defensively as you are making him out to be.
 
Have decided that Anthony Black and Taylor Hendricks are the dudes. Do what you have to within reason to move up and get them both. I think Hendricks is projected like 5-10 spots too low and will really rise. Dudes that are 6'9" with that athleticism and stroke will rise. Gets it done on defense too.

Eventual starters

Black
JC
Hendricks
Lauri
Kessler

Honest question again…..have you watched a full game of his or just highlight videos? Truly not trying to be a Dick.

Yes I have. Have you? Just the other day you asked the question isn't he a terrible defender. Pretty clear by that question you hadn't watched him yet somehow you want me to think you are some kind of expert on him.

I watched 3 complete games of his since I asked that question.

We are all having fun my man. It was an honest question, no need to get defensive.

Taylor Hendricks might work as a small-ball 5. He defends, rebounds, rim-protects and shoots. He's replacing Baba Miller on my 'intriguing' list.

I don't see him as a 5... maybe he can be a four next to Lauri being the 5. I think he is Jaden McDaniels plus. Think the shot is better and he plays a bit bigger. Certainly more engaged as a college player.

I'm more than intrigued. He is legit top 12 for me (and not my fake top 12 where I include 25 players). I think I'd have him ahead of Jarace Walker. Hoping we can swipe him with the second highest pick we have. He would be a SF in the jumbo lineups and then slide to a 4 with Lauri at the 5.

I get it. But if we're going to play Vanderbilt at the 5 and play 3 multi-skilled bigs together, Hendricks could fit that philosophy. He might be able to play 3 positions at the end of the day. Length and reach are still a question for now though.

Jarace Walker is a really interesting player, but he needs to be used the right way, imo. If he's a fulcrum in a spread/motion offense, he could be a beast. If he's just going to be a guy who screens and spaces like some other stretchy bigs, then there are other guys who can do that and do it better than Walker. Defensively, Walker just has a physical presence and versatility that's really appealing.
