Bufkin and George both have pretty clear star potential and high floors to boot.

He can dribble. Every player can dribble. They have all been dribbling since they were tiny little kids. Its like the first skill any player ever learns. I could dribble before I could even throw a basketball high enough to hit the rim.

Leonard miller might be better puttin it on the deck in iso than Hendricks is right now. Noone is talking about Leo in the top 6 like they are Jarace. It's not a knock on Hendricks imo, but he is not an on ball scorer like most want in a first option,not to use the 9th unless no higher upsides are left. He is a primo archetype long mobile defender with potential to be a high level starter as a 3rd option and might work great here, but he aint no superstar imo

Why do you say such silly definitive statements like this and then at the same time act like Hood-Shafino is more than a mid-starter to backup in his career. You know as much as a squirrel about basketball, just like the rest of us.

Because it's my take.

Every player we are thinking of drafting has weaknesses that we HOPE they improve on. Hendricks is no different from any other player we might draft in that regard. 7 rebounds per game is fine by the way. Its funny that you say "a lot of those things listed you hope he improves or hope he magically starts doing" you listed 2 things lol, not a lot of things. And his rebounding is ok anyway.

His strengths are very strong though and are nba ready and easy to insert into the jazz team.
Hendricks played in every game, averaged 34.7 minutes per game had lots of blocks (averaged 1.7 per game which is more than gobert averaged), and made lots of threes (shot 40% from 3), averaged 15 point and 7 rebounds, is 6 foot 9 and moves well and has a good attitude and is 19 years old.

He isn't perfect but there is A LOT to like there. Like framer said "Imagine the Jazz had a really tall guy that could both dunk the ball ferociously and shoot the three. Wouldn't you like to see that?" I mean I enjoyed watching Lauri Markennan play last season but maybe you didn't I guess. Btw Lauri Markkanen wasn't a great rebounder last season (8.6 per game which isn't much more than Hendricks despite Lauri being much taller. Lauri averages 7.1 per game for his career) and wasn't a great playmaker (1.9 assists per game. Hendricks averaged 1.4)

Basically you say you dont want hendricks because he is poor rebounder and playmaker but he makes lots of threes and dunks. Lauri Markkenan is a similar rebounder and playmaker but also makes lots of threes and dunks. I guess you dont want Markkenan either?
Markkenan and Hendricks both have about the exact same field goal and three point percentage by the way (lauri a little better from the field and hendricks a little better from 3) Oh and dunks and threes are the two best shots you can take and make. Both Hendricks and Markennan are really good at both type of shots. That is a good thing. But hey, you watched one game so im sure you have him all figured out ;)
