Sensabaugh and Hendricks watch thread in gleague

Way too early to dismiss Hendricks. The hilarious part is how many on this board were sure he was going to be a rotation player this year and even upset about the Collins trade because it took minutes away from Hendricks. What Hendricks is going through at his age and this stage is the norm, Keynote is exception.

His g league stats are also fine… per 36 he’s getting 17/5 with 2.5 blocks and a steal. Shooting sample is super small. If 1 miss turns into a make he’s a 40% 3 point shooter.
 
Hendricks was hyped up like crazy around here and elsewhere. He was a draft darling. I bought into some of that hype, but the part I bought into turned out to be false. It is what it is. He’s not doomed, just not exactly the prospect that was being shoved down our throats in the predraft process.

Taylor was sold as a guy who could play right away, not a GLeague only guy. It doesn’t take more than 13 games to determine that. It’s ok to say someone is way further behind than expected.

No it does not mean he is doomed, but like I said, he is not the player that was forced down our throats. If you said he was a GLeague guy, pat yourself on the back, I thought he was further along.

I just have never got the kind of dude who logs into a fan site to constantly **** on a 19 year old rookie. I have a son that age. I guess that changes my viewpoint.

However, if I wander to the cesspool that is the political subs and see these same people post there, and it makes a little more sense. .

Wait, so what age does a NBA player have to be for criticism to be ok on a forum? I know I've seen you bitching about players who are early 20s....

Your son is going to age at the same rate as Hendricks so I guess critiquing him will never be ok.

Exactly. The goalposts are moving so fast I can't keep up.

IMO it's a true red flag that Hendricks can't play a few minutes per game in a simple spacer role to get used to the league. What, he'll "get embarrassed"? Stop it.

Stand on the weak side, shoot when you're open. Try to defend a bit. That's literally it.

Meanwhile, Hardy is out here "coaching for the future" and letting Key make soul-killing rookie mistakes in crunch time while playing the hardest NBA position.
