Taylor Hendricks Hype Thread

If you're bad in the G it doesn't mean you can't have a NBA career, but you're more likely a Royce O'Neale than a top 100 caliber player

Or because you are 20 and have great length and athleticism you can be more like Jaden McDaniels.

But McDaniels is a hooper with actual fluidity on the ball with elite lateral quickness.

Hendricks was like two steps behind players last night while getting whacked by off ball screens.


Maybe there is some big strength jump somewhere the next few years, but like I said in the draft threads over and over, the guy is naturally weak and soft.

It's not weird. He's the 9th pick. To trade him asap is to maximize his value.

And there is no way he doesn't hurt us currently.

But the Jazz should want to lose for the rest of the season, so it's not an issue. Play him, but just limit his minutes so he doesnt overextend himself and lose value.

Ochai showed that you can be a relative fail for two years and still get value from the right team.

Sorry poorly phrased... the efforts some want to go to dump on him is weird.

He's like 12 years younger than Ochai and his value runway is so much longer.

He won't kill us... especially over who would be playing on the roster. 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.

They really don't let McDaniels play with the ball. His value is as a 3 and D guy mostly. Let's let Taylor get 10-15 games in the regular rotation and revisit this convo.

Oh we could have had Jaquez and GG if we listened to me.

We'd also have JHS, but 2/3 is better than 1/3.

I'm good with Key/Tay/Brice if the options are GG/Jaquez/JHS. Still a chance we went 3/3
 
GLeague is kind of a different sport than the NBA and the most productive/highest scoring guys aren't always the guys who end up making it in the league. I don't think it's necessarily bad that Hendricks is such a low usage guy in the GLeague, it just means he likely won't ever be that kind of guy in the actual league, but we should have already known that. He's got a valuable, albeit limited archetype.
