thats not true it may have been true in the past but henderson was the BPA....he knows that..he just needed something to fill his article
WHO ARE THEY TALKIN ABOUT EXACTLY.IMO that award should go to the T-Wolves.Henderson was the right pick, no way in hell would i have drafted another pg,Jrue Holiday,Teague ,Maynor...........

I think Hendo is the next MJ. Clearly already a better player than MJ was at this point in his career. Maybe better than SJack.We'll have to see but, this guy looks like 2nd GOAT (behind Allen Iverson) material to me

Any news on what summer league team Hendo will play on?
RIP Michael Jackson & Steve McNair

remember that Ben Woodside kid that one kid was claiming would be the next MJ? Welllll he's on this team too lol
Damn talk about small ball all those guards hopefully he gets enough burn.
RIP Michael Jackson & Steve McNair
man they are loaded with guards....Henderson is never going to play
LOL There's nowhere for 12 to go but up in terms of my estimation of him!
With that out of the way, I have the news that all of you have certainly being waiting for with bated breath.......I'm on board with the pick. My caveat is that I still stand by a portion of my pamphlet-sized post on page 5 of this thread, namely, 12 wasn't the BPA, but for what this franchise is hoping to accomplish at present time, it is the correct choice with no doubt whatsoever.
Aside from recognizing that I will not being able to do anything to change it no matter how much I bitch 'n moan, what really helped me come to embracing the pick is our 40th pick. I could totally off my rocker, but Derrick, I believe, is the superior player to James Johnson and Earl Clark, both of whom I had wished were chosen instead of 12. Seeing some of the videos posted by spectre and CK, I believe (if someone else, I apologise) UPS is not only quick, he's quick with the ball as well...and really, I had no clue he was so damn athletic...I mean, some of those slams!!! I swear, if the guy puts in the work, adds a few pounds, and absords all that he is taught, this guy is a 12+ year vet in this league. Like I said, maybe off my rocker, but I have a feeling here.
Anyway, the 40th pick yielded us mid-first round talent in this draft class, gave us the versatile player everyone associated with the Cats was wanting, therefore 12 makes a whole damn lot of sense in a weird retroactive sorta way, but still, it was a fine selection when complemented by Derrick's selection. We have the versatile 2-3-4, and we have the rock solid 2...nothing wrong there.
I mean, I'll be honest, as much as I like Jrue, who's to say he'll be so much better than Henderson that his selection by us over Henderson would improve the team to such a degree that's it's worth getting anybody's panties in a wad? They could both turn out to be stars; they could both be average; but I think only one could be a bust (however unlikely that is), and that's Jrue. I still say that it was a risk that was worth taking in selecting Jrue, but, fuck it, we got a more than serviceable player in 12, and that's all that matters when talking about the '09 draft.

"The Charlotte Hornets name has been a mainstay throughout the region for many years, and we are excited to announce our intention to re-establish this historic brand. We believe that its return will galvanize our fan base by unifying our loyal Bobcats fans with those who have strong memories of our city's NBA predecessor." MJ, 5-21-13
To be honest, what's their incentive to even play him? There has to be a better alternative than this. Unless we're sending Hanners, Ford, or Herb along with Henderson, I don't like this at all. I'd rather just have him go back to Duke and play some pick up games or something. I just don't see this doing anything for him other than frustration, but we'll see

Oh god...and the day Ben scores more than Gerald that kids gonna come back with "More Ben Woodside highlights"
Are we going to be able to watch these games online like last year? I still have the link to those summer league games with DJ and Ajinca and Weaver () We should have kept Weaver, we traded that pick we got for Weaver last year for money
. They are still active if anyone wants to relive that. If only to see Ajinca finally play.... for like 5 minutes.
