Henderson looks like he wishes he could have worn that Carolina blue the last 4 years lol.
Does anyone else think Gerald Henderson will be the shooting guard version of Gerald Wallace? Super athletic, hops out of the gym, loves to dunk, solid defense, decent jumper but needs a little work on perimeter game, all-out hustle, etc. I don't know if it's been mentioned on here yet, but after reading about him in practice and out of college, it seems like a decent fit.
Hendo could be real good , He plays tough defence . Can jump out the gym . He needs more work on his shot selection and his jumper. I think a good pick .
Brown after two games continues to impress . His defence is decent . He can get up and block shots. He runs the floor well . He can jump out the gym all so . His jumper is smooth. He could be the pick of the year. This kid has tons of up side.
Im going to put Lexy in hear too. Hes starting to look like a first round pick after the first two game . He still has a lot to learn but i think is ready for rotation at the p/f .
Given playing time he has the tools to be special . Not now but he could turn into longer KG type . If he sees rotation listens to Brown . By next year we might be able to start making comparisons. But the kid has to listen to Brown.
I think he's a good fit...needs work on the jumper (and I think he will) as well as his free-throws...but I think he has the work ethic and desire so I expect him to become a better all-around "2"...
Agreeded , As UPS has showed hes ready for rotation play now.
Just like DJ so far . Thats another one thet will be lucky to see 10 mins a game??
Just kiding hes looked great. But not as good as Felton , lol
Truth, i see a big inprovement in his game . One can tell he has started trying to work on the defencive side of the ball. His biggist weakness. Hes got stronger all so. His size he can't help.

I thought Brown played really well last night but Henderson clearly needs some work and what's up with his FT shooting?
I don't know why anyone is surprised. Henderson has never had an outside game. He's always relied on his athleticism to get to the rim as a slasher and occasionally takes a mid range jumper (which if you've noticed, he's pretty good at).
He's not going to be a good outside shooter for a year or two, if at all. But he's in the NBA now and he's going to be forced to work on it so we'll see if he's able to develop it or not (Hello Felts)
Henderson did seem like Crash jr. out there. His head looked extra big too, Was I the only one that noticed that? I saw some good things out of him but he seemed to be playing to fast. I still thiink he'll turn out to be a good back up,probably not a starter or all star. I think I have a foundnew player to hate on, with his extra large head
Ajinca, I'm so proud , My lil baby pony has turned into, Well he turned into a more talented pony but it's atleast a start. I doubt he'll ever be the Tim Duncan type horse we can ride into the playoffs but he did show signs of being worth a NBA draft pick. I'm so happy he didn't play like a girl scout.
This being my first time ever seeing UPS play live basketball I was very impressed. I still say he will have a better year then Henderson. UPS has a nice jumper, long arms and he gets off the ground pretty quick. I did see alot of rookie mistakes but this is preseason, so I didn't expect much.
