Talk about getting a player at a bargain price!!!!! Danny does it again. Still I have to say that I'm a little concerned by this surprise development. You gotta know that Taylor Hendricks has to feel blindsided by this. Everything I've seen supports the contention that Hendricks is ready right now to assume that starting four role. Saw earlier where Hendricks was one scout's #1 prospect in the entire draft and when you look at his body of work it's easy to see why. Firstly, he won three state titles (between two schools) in High School; Secondly, only NCAA player last year to hit 60 three pointers, block 55+ shots and make 35+ dunks;; heavily recruited in college, electing to choose UCF over Florida, FSU, Miami, Memphis, LSU and others so that he could play with his twin brother Tyler.
On the plus side, it may influence Clarkson and THT to opt in for this season as opposed to exploring free agency. Although that may create a bit of a logjam at the one and cut into the big league development of George, it could signal a sure sign that we will for sure play it straight next season and see what this bad boy can really do including the playoffs. If that's the case, I'm all for it, because we were scary good last season and stand to be even better and much much deeper this year..
