It's Official: Hendo Is Not Very Good

[raleigh]

I think Hendo is pretty good NBA player and best player on the team atm.

Augustin is the only one with a credible counterargument to being the best player on the team atm.

I don't agree that Henderson is a "pretty good" NBA player. He's amazingly average.

What worries me is the lack of noticeable improvement from last year to this year. This is the time when most prospects develop the most, yet...

Season     G   MP  PER  TS% eFG% ORB% DRB% AST% STL% BLK% TOV% USG%
2010-11   68 1661 13.2 .509 .461  3.5 11.6 10.7  1.6  1.6  9.1 19.9
2011-12   49 1625 13.5 .502 .464  4.0 10.4 13.3  1.5  0.8 11.0 22.8

Also, his 3pt%, 3PA/36, and his FT/36 have not changed at all from last season. He's not a good perimeter shooter, yet also doesn't get to the FT line much. He's an average rebounder and passer for an off guard.

Hendo is a 3rd option on a good team. He's got every bit of skill to be our (or any teams') starting SG. I don't dislike Beal's skills, but with Hendo already here and needs at virtually everywhere else, I'd rather not draft a redundant player with a top-4 pick. I think we should surround top-end talent around Gerald rather than trade him and move on without him. Much like G-Force was a complimentary player on a team without any offensive stars, I see Hendo falling into this category until we add some weapons.

Freaking nailed Polarcat. And I dont care how bad New Orleans was, he was in takeover mode that night and it was good. Defending, hustling, scoring. Its game's like that one that make me think he would be a GREAT player on a team that gave a shit.

Bomani jones just said Gerald henderson isnt supose to be the best player on your team, got a point

I don't think he's on Crash's level. Crash wouldn't have been a franchise player on any other team except the Bobcats, and I loved Crash. BUT, at the same time, despite all the crappy players we put around him until our one playoff appearance, Crash was good for 20+ wins a season (I think, lol).

Hendo is just a guy you put in to give you some quality minutes but doesn't really change the game one way or another at this point. He's better playing off of others and the only good players we have are rookies.
