He played a bunch of minutes in the games lol… guess you were too locked into staring at THT in the games. The same dude that you mock TH defense is the same dude THT was racking up points against so…
 
For some perspective:
2023 picks drafted ahead of and around Hendricks and the stats in their recent game (went back like 5 nights or so)

Kobe bufkin: 3-11 shooting for 8 points and 3 fouls in 22 minutes

jarace walker: 2-8 for 4 points with 2 rebounds in 14 minutes. Also was a negative 24 in plus minus. By far the worst on the team. Pacers won the game by 4

Cason wallace: didn't play for the thunder in their last game.

Grady dick: 2-5 for 7 points with 3 turnovers in 17 minutes. Zero assists, zero steals, zero blocks.

Jordan Hawkins: 1-8 for 3 points (1-7 from 3) in 18 minutes. Did nothing else at all this game.

Anthony black: 0-1 for 1 point with zero assists and a turnover in 13 minutes (1-4 from the line lol)

Jett Howard: 0-6 (0-5 from three) for zero points in 12 minutes. Did nothing else at all this game.

Amen Thompson: 2-5 for 5 points in 21 minutes. Had 4 turnovers and 5 fouls lol.

Cam whitmore: 4-15 (1-7 from three). He did have 17 points and 6 steals though. 30 minutes.

Sidy cissko was a guy many of us liked and he only played 6 minutes for zero points in this same game (rockets vs spurs)

Bilal Coulibaly: 1-5 and the only player on the wizards who was a negative in plus minus (-4) in a game the wizards won by almost 30 points

Grady Dick: 2-7 (1-4 from three) for 5 points in 17 minutes

Cason wallace: played 8 minutes and scored 5 points. Zero assists, Zero steals, Zero rebounds, zero blocks and a negative 4 in plus minus

Brandon Miller: played 29 minutes and scored 8 points. (he did have an ok game overall though. #2 pick)

Scoot: Played 30 minutes and was 3-11 shooting. (0-3 from three) 8 points. negative 13 in plus/minus

Sidy: Played 9 minutes and was 0-2 for zero points negative 17 in plus/minus

Ausar thompson: 31 minutes 2-10 for 8 points

Cason wallace: 2-7 in 20 minutes

I've been watching as much of these guys as I have been able to, and the box scores don't tell you what's really going on, but would agree with the premise that nobody is really setting the world on fire right now.
 
And yeah, rookies dont put up great stats in the pre-season or usually to start the year.

Hendricks is on a different level of not ready than every other lottery pick I've seen.
 
I dont watch all these guys play but from what I can tell basically you have:

1 guy who has been really good: Wemby (even he was only 3-10 last night)

A few guys have been good and fans are probably happy with: Cam, Amen, Bilal

One guy has been really mid/average: Brandon Miller

Then the rest, guys like Black, wallace, walker, bufkin, JHS, scoot, Howard, dick, hawkins, ausar etc, have been below expectations or just plain bad. A few flashes from a few of these guys but mostly garbage.

Also, most of these guys didn't have an injury in the off season and had more time to practice with their teammates, got to play in summer league, and dont have a roster stacked with dudes who are bonafide playing their same position.
