Sensabaugh and Hendricks watch thread in gleague

Hendricks played like the 9th pick in the draft tonight in a Stars win. 26 points 9 boards and 2 blocks and he shot a phenomenal percentage. Sensabaugh had a bad game. Juzang and Isiah Miller were over 20 points as well. Potter was with the Jazz riding pine.

Holy cow that announcer is horrible. Is that the live feed? It’s like someone doing a voiceover to the video. Maybe I’m too hard on Boler.

I think its pretty much always horrible when you got just 1 guy who is trying to work double time as an announcer and expert.

It brings me bad flashbacks of the 80s and 90s when that still was a thing in many sports and you had former radio announcers announcing TV broadcasts.
 
Just to note, since Potter was on the main team, Hendricks played center, his natural position from college.

Just looking at the highlights you can tell he is playing more PNR and middle of the floor where he seems to be more naturally comfortable.

On every single scoring play he starts at the three point line, even the dunks. He isn't playing with his back to the basket in any of them.

Yeah thats what I was also about to say. In media day Hendricks said that his off season workout priority has been ball-handling.

I think its obvious that Hardy wants him to develop towards a guy who is switchable on the frontcourt offensively and can do some basic driving with the ball and play more outside-in on offense than inside-out.

Lmao that's not how modern centers play and you have to know that's not what I mean

He's playing with a completely spaced floor because he's the 5. It's a completely different look to what he will usually play with at the NBA level.

It's not a critique, just an observation. He played a style he was more accustomed to from his UCF days and seemed to play well.

It's not that he has to learn to play outside in, he did that on college. He needs to learn to play from the wings more and not as a primary PNR option. It's basically the same adjustment Collins had to make when Atlanta started playing a traditional rolling 5. You are generally less directly involved in plays and it can lead to you "floating" more if you don't know how to play off of that
 
If all it takes for Taylor to go from scrub to dominant is to play center… well I have an idea. Let’s go ahead and develop his strengths rather than putting him in a different box. TIA

I thought he played more inside out on college as some have reference that he was a back to basket player. Just based on the discussions here really.

He was not a back to the basket player in college. He probably did it from time to time cu it's college, but that wasn't his gaem

This is correct. Taylor set a lot of screens at the top in college. Did a fair amount of standing on the perimeter while his guards “cooked”.
