Gerald Henderson

sylvianlight · 02-08-2010, 01:30 AM

Why doesn't this guy get any burn? Stephan Graham isn't good enough to give minutes over a guy you've invested a 1st round pick in. Flip is good enough but Graham is just a good shooter with some fundamentals.

What's the point of drafting a guy and not playing him? Bobcats aren't even that good, surely we can experiment with Henderson, he's not going to cause us to lose. He seems like the kind of guy who can get involved in a game without taking shots and with guys like Jax, Flip, and Felton on the team, that's just what we need, imo.

I like Henderson a lot and hope this is Larry Brown being cautious with a rookie and letting him develop before throwing him to the wolves. God forbid we drafted another awful player.

If Larry Brown has one tangible weakness as a coach, it's his affection for players that are veteran players that know the game instead of young players with immense talent that he has to teach the game.

Augustin is another example of a player that could be WAY better than Felton with the proper teaching but Brown's complicated style has paralyzed him from playing the instinctive basketball he was playing last year and he has become afraid of making mistakes instead of going out there and creating like he should be doing. It seems like a turnover in a Larry Brown system negates everything positive you've done in that game prior to that. He'll pull you in a minute over a turnover. Now that he's fighting for minutes and his confidence is low, it's like he's waiting to screw up.

But the veterans on the other hand, Brown gets the most out of them. Jackson has been great recently. He made Gerald into an All Star. Even Nazr has produced in his minutes this year.

Brown is quite simply not the coach you want for a developing squad. He's the coach you want when you have a team full of veterans.

Yeah but DJ and Derick Brown get playtime. Henderson only gets garbage minutes lately.

God forbid if DJ turns it over but if Doris does the same thing he gets extra minutes. Gotta love it.

Graham really plays the 3 spot and is a more rugged defender than Hendo. Hendo's problem is that he is behind some better players. If Flip walks in the offseason, then Hendo will get his time.

Yep, log jam at SG. That's why we don't see Hendo on the court.
