Taylor Hendricks Hype Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hardy's interview today about Tay Henny kind of damned him with faint praise. The part that had me scratching my head was "We'll have to see how he carries himself." Has he been a pain in the behind? Not a hard worker? I found those choice of words a bit odd and perplexing. Or is the only way to fire him up is throw a grenade at him?

Link?

Link?

It's over in the news section under Sarah Todd/DeseretNews.

Link?

Maybe not the exact source, as the wording is slightly different, but see also this interview (1:30-2:30 mark).

EDIT: it is the exact source. Homey just got the quote slightly wrong.

TH is a major project with a very high upside.

Still learning basketball basics, let alone NBA basics.

We need to give the kid a lot of rope and patience.

It will be frustrating but big payoff, imo

This made me give a quick glance to the post date.
I was sure it would have been from early last Summer. Nope.

Next time you feel the need to craft a condescending post, first do some homework. There was an entire thread on this topic, my opinion is clearly stated over several posts (one included below), and it has not changed.

By the way, I desperately hope that my opinion is wrong and TH explodes over the next 30 games.

We need a new nom de guerre (or is sobriquet more appropriate?) for Hendricks. TH is too close to THT.

Hendricks seems kinda like the forward version of Exum. He's gonna do some things that almost take your breath away but he's so raw and probably won't ever really get anywhere near that projected hope of him.

Hmmm I find betting that THT will gain the ability to unscramble his thought processes on the court to be an odd hill to die on.
You do you though, free country and all that.

Much of Exum's problem was his yearly season ending injury. That doesn't really have anything to do with who Hendricks is. Hendricks wasn't top 5 in what was supposed to be a historic draft either.

Exum also played pg. Taylor could be pretty effective if he just gets really good at a few offensive things. He doesn't have to have some amazing well rounded game.

True, but what would those things be?

Obviously outside (spot up) shooting is one, but I struggle to see any other real ball skills. IMO his finishing bag is pretty much empty on the NBA level.
