share your current thoughts about whether Taylor Hendricks is an NBA player

My concern for both him and Cody is that GLeague lifers like McGriff the Crime dog look better than both at the moment. I'm sure if a dumb guy like me notices this, other front offices and our front office will too. That being said the clock has not ticked zero on either one.
 
I think that will still need to wait for him to play 100 games and maybe wait a little more because of the injury.

He doesn’t have a natural bbiq but I still think he will shoot it well enough. And the playing hard thing needs to come along. I would leave him i the g league until around the all-star break.
 
Thee dislocation of thy right fibula of our conspecific Taylor Thomas Hendricks was a firm, Greg Odean message to JazzFanz across the realm. I fear he shall not resonate as an impact player, and shall be adjudicated to Chinese basketball courts, where he may find a more suitable enclave.
 
I've always compared his role to that of Dorian Finney-Smith, a big 3D wing who guards and shoots 3s, but is limited with the ball. Hendricks' size gave him more presence at the rim on both ends than DFS. Right now, he's still in the process of recovering his movement. I think he'll get there, but it might take the rest of the season and the summer.

In other words, my expectations were never super high for him, and I think he can get his career back on track.
DFS could defend the perimeter though
 
I still think Hendricks can make it as a third big type of role player. What I'm most worried about is the motor (same as Cody Williams, really). But coming off an injury like that is tough not only physically but mentally. Hope he pulls it off because I was really excited after his rookie year.
