Hendricks is amazing on paper…but when I watched film he looked a little upright and stiff. Like maybe he could win a dunk contest but can’t stay in front of his man….idk maybe that’s unfair. Clowney looks like a smoother athlete to me but there is a wide shooting gap. Could definitely be convinced he’s a lottery pick by the end of this.

Yeah, I agree with the upright thing. He has high hips. Don't think he's going to be a great perimeter defender. More of a weakside rim protector and someone who will have enough length/athleticism to not be a target.

To me he is in the Rashard Lewis kind of mold. Kind of a lesser version of the same prospect a Jabari Smith was last year.

Sure, if we want to look at facts but I invented loving him and that’s how I feel.

Cy can’t drive a wedge between us… Hendo came not to separate the world but bring it together.

He do is a bit upright. He still does good staying in front and has pretty good defensive anticipation. He kinda reminds me of RoCo on defense. I think he will be a great help defender and I think he could develop a bit more fluidity in his hips.

On offense I think the jumper is REAL good. He gets it off fast… on the move… and he does well in the roll game. He goes long stretches where his guards won’t feed him and it drives me nuts… he seems like a great kid. I just think at worst case he ends up a better/different version of RoCo… and has much more he could add to that.

Eh...Roco was one of the most impactful defenders in the league for a good while + a decent shooter and I think his floor is a lot lower than that. The guy that first came to mind was Chris Boucher for me. I think I'd still draft Dick/Brice/Jett over him, but he has a case for sure.
 
What do the experts think of that huge center for purdue? Does he get drafted? Is he a lottery guy? Second rounder? I havent heard anything about him
