Gerald Henderson=BPA

[big3_8_19_21]

hmmm...I guess I see him differently. I think he has a very good chance to be a solid starter. I think he is a pretty smart player and has good enough court vision for a SG. He's not going to be a huge drive and dish guy setting up teammates, but I think his passing is good enough.

I really want a Holiday/Henderson back court right now for some serious defense.

I'm 100% with you about Holiday but not next to Henderson for me. That just isn't enough shooting range to properly space the floor for the franchise bigman.

I still want to see Foye play a full season at his natural SG position without having to play next to a completely inept PG like Telfair before we rush to judgement that he isn't a quality starting SG himself.

A Foye/Hinrich backcourt is going to score around 32-35 points a game, average around 10-12 assists while averaging around 4-5 turnovers, shoot 40% from three and 80% or better from the line and won't be halfbad defensively either. Throw in a bench of Holiday and Miller and/or Brewer you're talking about a pretty damn good NBA backcourt.

You get that kind of impact and spacing from the backcourt what do you think teams will be able to do against Al Jefferson up front? Does Al Jefferson take the next step and become a 25/12 guy as a by product of the spacing from the improved guard play by simply shooting 53-55% instead of 50%?

What about a improved and more physically developed Kevin Love finally allowing Jefferson to play 2vs2 against other frontcourts instead of 1vs2 as he has the last two years.

Henderson's range definitely isn't where it needs to be right now, but I think he showed strides this season and his mid-range game is very solid. I think he can inch out his range like Gomes has done over the years.

[Steve_Holiday]

agreed on all points, jmill.

No way to Henderson at 6. And I'd rather roll the dice on Mullens at 18, much higher ceiling. I agree that 28 would be big drop, but that's fine, since I'd rather we take a Euro at 28 and stash him.

[big3_8_19_21]

I can't imagine that both Henderson and Mullens would be at 18. If Henderson falls that far, it means other guys went higher than predicted, and Mullens is most likely one of those guys.

I do like the kid and he seams to have a good work ethic and attitude. I think my personal preference would be to get Holiday, Daye or Clark and steal Wayne Ellington 28th if the Wolves were to keep their picks.

Henderson is going to shoot up boards as the draft nears. His athleti ability is going to impress. He belongs in the discussion at 6 for sure, but I'd rather trade the pick or use it on one of the higher risk/reward picks.

You'll find out fast I'm lovin GH. I think back to Josh Howard and I think, Hmm, GH could be that AND more.

good link. I am gonna make a thread with it.

6'5 with shoes. 6'10 wingspan. adequate for SG.
Shooting range is a big question. 34% college 3 is poor (college 3 is NBA mid-range j)

Projects as an anthony parker type player. 3rd or 4th option. Rich man's trenton hassell? (pre hand check rule changes). Or Rodney Carney who can dribble?

he should go 10-15 range. maybe as high as 8 or 9 to NY or TOR. But not at 6.

griffin-rubio-thabeet-harden-hill-evans all more accomplished college players with much higher upsides.

[JMillott]

I see him as Tony Allen with a better basketball IQ but still flawed as a shooter and with a SF instead of SG's handle or court vision. He may not be quite as limited as Tony Allen by these weaknesses but I don't think he is as strong or relentless either.

If he is there at 18 and Daye is gone then sure i'd like the pick but i'd rather get Daye or trade the pick for a Hinrich as part of a package.

[younggunsmn]

If we trade for hinrich there is no way in hell we send them a draft pick because he is not worth his contract in years or length. especially not 18. There are several intriguing players who should be available at 18, any of whom hold more worth to a rebuilding team.
