The question is does Cody start over Hendricks
I actually would like him traded, and the 2 JCs and just roll with lauri
That's fair, but if he is here he should start

No, Collins will
They aren't going to start Walker and Collins together
The jumper did not fall last night/had some cringy moments off the dribble, but it was another "wow this guy is gonna make a ton of money" performance by Hendricks. I think his perimeter defense and lateral movement looked good. He's not going to be an A+ rim protector or on ball stopper, but he's going to be a B+ or A- at every defensive role and that's super valuable.
He seems almost impossible to score on in transition unless the other guy is an elite transition finisher

Then Walker will come off the bench. I see no way Collins doesn’t start unless god steps in and makes some team trade for him.
Ok, so my statement remains the same that the biggest question is who starts between Cody and Hendricks
I hope Bazley makes the team btw. He kinda sucks at basketball but he's a great athlete with 11/10 effort level. I would like to see him rewarded and use that as an example for the young players. Cody/Hendricks would see massive improvements to their games by dialing up their intensity.
On a normal team, I would say Hendricks would definitely start out the season over Cody....but I haven't gotten the impression that Hardy/coaching staff are super high on him. It's the opposite with Cody. When we drafted Hendricks, they came out and said it was our worst case scenario. With Cody, he may have been our #1 overall selection. Much different vibe.
Wins won't be a priority next season and that will be the case day one. I could see Cody getting the start right away. While I think he will struggle physically, he's got infinitely better feel for the game than Hendricks so he could fit right in.
