Taylor Hendricks Hype Thread

His play will increase his value as you many will look past the warts cuz he's 20 and focus on the flashes like closing out on KD and then snuffing out a rim attempt.

I don't really need any random highlights from Hendricks. I need him not to touch ground when someone gives him a mild head fake.

He may be the rawest dude I've ever seen play non-garbage NBA minutes.
 
Tim MacMahon said the trades weren't made to get Hendricks minutes. Called Hendricks a mediocre offensive player who is a long way away.

Trades were made cuz KO isn't part of the future and they decided Ochai wasnt it

He's not even the rawest dude to play for the Jazz. Exum, Doke, and Jeremy Evans all say "Hi!"

To play devil's advocate and say this is true, this is an indictment on the FO, no? They selected him. And the guy they're (reportedly) enamored with they selected 7 spots lower.

I didn't think that was why the trades were made. I think it was simply to get more assets and lose guys who aren't part of the future iteration of the team.

My best guess is that they just couldn't convince themselves of anyone so they took the guy with the best combination of athletic and size potential. They were also probably depressed Bilal got taken.

The college game is just so different that it's hard to know which guys will come in and take to concepts and which guys will just look like a chicken with their head cut off.

Tim is the national reporter most connected to the Jazz. If he is saying that it's probably what the FO has relayed to him

So are we going to operate on the assumption that they got rid of some deadwood to give THT more minutes? What the Jazz DID after the trades leaves that as the only other possibility.
