Jazz draft Taylor Hendricks at 9

(Whispers so other posters can’t hear) The front office really doesn’t see him as this amazing building block… he’s a fine prospect and undoubtedly an nba rotation player… but not the guy you declare a for sure starter in his second year… at some point we end up with something more dynamic. Please don’t tell the others… they have a hard time with the truth.

I wasn’t really around here when we were tanking but I watched the games. Came back and was kind of shocked, even as Jazz homers, to see everyone gushing over Ochai. Like I’m not sure what we’re supposed to be super impressed about. I feel good about him being a rotation player in the future….but he’s not quite established there yet.

Do you like Lauri Markennan? Cause he doesn't average 10 boards per game

He’s a super unique player, and a star. That’s in all likelihood not Hendricks. So I need to see him do something other than shoot well and rim defend. One of our weaknesses was defensive rebounding late in close games. It often got frustrating. Say we are inproved defensively thanks to Hendricks. Not going to matter if we are giving teams second and third chances every other possession. Being an elite rebounder would make him that much more of a team influencer in a much more positive way in justifying drafting him over Cam. Confused with your hostility towards me in hoping he can be a great rebounder once IMO he isn’t going to be a star. The added rebounding would valet him into being a high valued role player. No one wants to see this team succeed more than me.

I mean a big reason we sucked at defensive rebounding at the end of close games is because it took a damn long time for Hardy to start closing games with Kessler.
 
Lets project next year numbers.

Kessler 11-14 boards per game
Lauri 7-10
Hendricks 4-6

Yeah we are fine on first team FC rebounding.
 
The fact that the three threads dedicated to our drafted players our top pick has the least post should tell you how underwhelming this pick was

Im not being hostile towards you. I just think its strange that for you to like the pick (If Hendricks can be a guy that averages 10+ boards a game. I’ll take back the F for a B on Hendricks) Hendricks has to average 10 rebounds per game.

So if Hendricks is defensive player of the year, league mvp, finals mvp and averages 33 points, 10 assists, and 9 rebounds per game then you still give the pick an F grade. But if hendricks gets all those awards and all those averages and get just 1 more rebound per game then you will reluctantly give him a B grade lol. That is some majore hostily and hate my friend.

Neither Lauri or Taylor are going to average 10 boards a game playing with Kessler. Hell even Sensabaugh rebounds.

Well then I guess Hendricks is just going to get an F grade from thee no matter what then darn it.
