welcome gerald henderson, this was the guy i actually wanted from the start of the lottery process and was afraid he'd be gone by #12. i see SOME aspects of his game similar to dwyane wade. dont criticize me for comparing him to one of the best SG's in the game, but just looking at his midrange shot (and 3pt shot weakness), his athletic method of attacking the basket, and his very similar body size, i just cant help but see a LITTLE bit of wade in him.

Bo aka the hometown peoples elbow smasher better live up to the hype that I've given him in my head. I still would have much rather had T. Will but I think there's a chance Gerald Jr. will have a good NBA career.

I think Smash has the ability to be a very good player and will make the heel fans sorry for their trash talk....

I'm in the same boat as you CK. I'm starting more and more to build him up in my mind. There is a whole lot I like about his game and I really do the open key of the NBA is going to help him.I think we are going to be in for a really nice surprise in about 2 years time.

Didn't you classify his likely outcome as "star"?

Hopefully he'll get there...we could use one of those.

Edit:

Just saw this post on Bonnell's latest blog:

In the 2nd half of last season (dook's final 18 games), Henderson was 17-of-71 on 3-pointers

17-of-seventy-friggin-one, also known as 23.9 percent

Wow!

[Slam]

I think that he has star potential - for sure. I compared him to a poor mans Flash. Hendo has a great mid range rage - which is a very good way to score points in the NBA. Plus, he can really attack the rim and finish as well.

[Slam]

On the three point shooting - he also went 22 of 49 over his first 18 games...............or 45%.

I know LB is a halfcourt oriented guy, but it would be damn sure nice if we push it some, especially in times where Felton, Henderson, and Wallace (3 guys who have historically thrived in transition) are on the floor together.

The Isiah Thomas "Master Plan" Award
To the people running the Charlotte Bobcats, if only because their plan of attack for building a winning franchise seems destined to fail. And by "plan of attack," I'm, of course, referring to the strategy of drafting a Naismith Award finalist in every single draft and hoping that things will eventually fall into place. In practice, this theory only works well in the world of video games -- you know, when you can export your NCAA '09 rosters into Madden and build an unstoppable dynasty. In real life, though, it doesn't usually work that way. Even though Dick Vitale clearly approves, it's not necessarily the best move going forward. Just sayin' ...
