It's Official: Hendo Is Not Very Good

I think at this point, we have established that he is better as a role player coming off the bench with an occasional start if needed. He tricked us into believing he had an actual jump shot prior to the trade deadline, but alas, he does not. Sad to say, but it's time for us to come back down to earth and realize that at best, he's a rotational role player.

And believe me, I wanted to believe he was a starter as well, but it just isn't so. Great defender and athlete, streaky shooter at best, but better suited as a role player.

Im not sure. Gerald was playing fine when Wallace was here, which leads me to believe he can be a good starter, just as long as he isnt the 2nd best player on the court.

I think it's quite a bit early in the process to say for certain yet.

I think this Is the problem right now...

Way to early to tell.
Gerald still has a lot of things to improve on but, he is no where near his ceiling.
I'd imagine that this summer, he will work to develop a 3 point shot and his ball handling. I can see Henderson being a very solid 14-16 ppg as a 3rd option on a good offense within 2 years.

At least give the guy a full year before saying this. This is pretty much his rookie season.

Exactly. Way too early to try and crush someone's ability, no matter how much you will delight in their failure.

Too early. With Jack out, he definitely has the opportunity to prove if he is or not.

I'm not delighted in any of our player's failure. And odds are with most draft picks they will be a rotational guy and not a superstar, so how is that a failure? Also, I said that I was pulling for him and wanted him to be what we were hoping he could be. So, I'm not pulling for any of our guys to suck. I'm just saying, since the trade and he became a starter he has been pretty bad.

Seriously dude. That post is pure fail. You're going on what? At best 10 games? Probably jumped onto the Hendo bandwagon, then when he hits a slump you jump off.

How about you come back to earth and realise that you're going by a small ass sample size, and already writing off a player. Puhlease. Give him atleast 1/2 a year - a season.
