What they're saying: ESPN: NBA executives are all over the place on Henderson. Some see him as a surefire Top 10 pick. Others worry about his lack of size, his inconsistency and his shaky perimeter jump shot. Look for him to go somewhere between 8 and 18 on draft night if he stays in the draft. Collegehoopsnet.com: Despite having a solid collegiate career, Gerald Henderson has to be considered a bit of a disappointment. However, he has all the tools you’d want in a NBA prospect and with some more development of his game he should stay employed in the League for years to come. NBADraft.net: One of the more athletic and explosive wing players in this draft class. Makes difficult and contested shots with regularity. He is not scared to put his head down and attack the basket. HoopsHype.com: Extremely athletic shooting guard with a very versatile all-around game. Much improved outside shooter. Terrific defender, rebounder and passer. DraftExpress.com: Mid-range game…ability to create own shot…defensive fundamentals…strong intangibles…high-level productivity…solid passer…athleticism.
Welcome indeed! I'm really happy with this pick. He's PERFECT for the Larry Brown system.

Hendo needs to do nothing but watch D Wade film

I was cut off but with Hendo and Brown so far we have a solid draft...

Derrick Brown is a great pickup in the second round. I saw him live and in person a few times playing at Halton. He's got quite a presence on defense and is pretty efficient on office.
Welcome to Hendo...you are the new man...so step up and be the man...

I'm watching film on both picks tonight. I like Brown but I'll have to let Henderson grow on me. Still We probably got the best on the board and for this team.

I REALLY like this draft...I think Henderson is going to do very well off the bench and will thrive in Brown's system...Then Derrick Brown is a steal, he was expected to be a first round pick by man...so glad to see we could get him in the 2nd...
