The Future of John Henson
I actually like John Henson but he seems pretty inconsistent. His averages of 7 & 4 aren't anything special even though he doesn't play more than 20 minutes. What do you guys think his future is looking like as far as staying with the team? I personally would like to see him gain about 15-20 more pounds of muscle and play the 5 position. He has crazy length and times his blocks pretty nice he just can't defend really big guys right now like how Gortat treated him last night. Imagine a lineup of MCW, K Midd, GA, JP, and Henson(with more muscle). Seems pretty solid to me

Re: The Future of John Henson
He hasn't really gained any size since he's been in the league, appears lazy and disinterested at times and has failed to develop any offense other than dunks/lay ups/put backs and his lefty hook.
Fine if Tyson Chandler, not if soft Henson.
No thanks, would trade.

Re: The Future of John Henson
I've seen enough of Henson in the last 3 years to think he'll be an ok backup who has some nice games from time to time.
He hasn't put on any bulk or shown signs of increased rebounding ability or physicality. His offense consists of a lefty hook and thats all.
If some team thinks they can get more out of him I'm more then willing to package him up for something. If not I just hope he isn't seen as our C of the future. Zaza starting so much makes me feel this isn't the case.

Re: The Future of John Henson
With the length on our team in our perimeter guys, Henson's blocks are counting for less and less. At times Henson going for a block will leave the other part of the rim open. We would need more bulk to box out for rebounds. Unless he can seriously improve under Kidd and show up at Playoff time, I don't see how he'll ever be more than a backup C. I didn't know how him and Sanders could coexist, but now Larry is gone, Henson will be here for a while.

Too soft and seems disinterested at times. If I could use him as an asset to move up into the draft I wouldn't hesitate.
He will make a fine Ekpe Udoh on a championship caliber team.

Does he have a better career than Brandon Wright?
That's the sort of player I see but meh.

I think he'll end up a Chipotle chain owner.

Re: The Future of John Henson
To me he's the guy that right when I'm ready to part ways, he'll have a strech of awesome games where he's blocking shots and getting double-doubles. I think he has talent but seems to have a laissez faire mentality towards the game which I think will ultimately minimize his ability to be a dominant player.

This is why whatever value he has should be capitalised on while it's their. I'm sure their are teams that believe he has the tools to be consistently good and are willing to give it a go, but this won't last forever. Cash in on what we can get for him while he's young enough to still have some value.
Ideally package him to move up a few spots if possible.

I'd like to see him play 30 minutes a game, because his metrics are very good. One problem in trying to do that is he's averaging 5.0 fouls per 40 minutes.

Henson is a throw-in to sweeten a deal. Or he is a fringe rotation player until his contract expires. Is and always has been fool's gold. Nice guy, yes. When it comes to basketball, he is Charmin soft and completely boxed-in to his tendencies. Somewhat interesting considering he can not box out.

Re: The Future of John Henson
Pachulia and Henson are both back-ups. We need a starting center. While Henson's length allows him to do some things that a back-up normally can't, I would rather have a Pachulia or a cheaper version for a backup. A bruiser who doesn't get pushed around in the paint.

Henson is a good 20 minute a game backup big, and I mean good. He's an elite rim protector, and knows his limits on offense. We all wish he was stronger in the paint and could rebound, but he's still an asset in his current form.

Re: The Future of John Henson
I wonder if Henson gets the "disinterested" comment because of his looks? This always seems to me that players like Henson who don't have a mean look to them get the classic Tracy Mcgrady treatment. Come on, the guy just has a lazy eye. I feel like even if Ben Wallace half assed it, he would never get the "disinterested" label. I'm not defending his play, because Henson has been inconsistent, and I agree that he could fill out more. But I also think that given his awkward, baby faced appearance, he will get more criticism.

Re: The Future of John Henson
Part of the problem with Henson, is that we need a full time C, and no one on the roster is capable of that role today. Zaza is done but fits the profile best, Plumlee can't find the court, so Henson gets pressed to be something he's not. I think we may see incremental improvements as time goes on, but not a big leap. He's likely to be a career backup - You need those guys, but they are also easier to come by.

I hope Henson's future isn't with the Bucks.
