I'm not sure how I feel we should approach the depth situation at SG now. For so long, we have lacked scorers and outside shooters. Now we have Lance, Neal, and PJ all at the two guard. Hendo provides great D but isn't all that efficient offensively. So, do we keep all four guys or move one? Then do you risk not having enough scoring or giving up a great defender?

Clifford has stated that PJ will play some 3 so it may not be an issue

Not sure why everyone is thinking Hendo would be a good 6th man. 

 

You need quick offensive production from your bench, something Hendo is not good at. 

 

Additionally, correct me if I am wrong, he is getting paid too much to be a bench player. 

 

We have PJ now to perfectly fill out that instant offense off the bench. 

 

Hendo needs to be dealt.

Most 6th men get paid around 5-9 million a year depending on the team. You need to realize PJ has not looked ready in the summer league and needs time to work on his game while averaging around 6-10 mpg this season.

Henderson May not be an explosive offensive player but he keeps us deep on defense coming off the bench and would still be our best scorer off the bench (yes, better then you're savior PJ Hairston). The way I see it is this

Trade Neal this offseason to a team needing to add salary (Philly) and let Henderson play as our primary scorer off the bench. Next offseason (depending on how Hairston did in his limited time) trade Henderson and his much more movable expiring contract and let PJ Hairston take over as the top option off the bench (If he does well this season).

I expect (and hope) we keep Henderson for at least next year, as it keeps us as one of the deepest teams in the league. If we get rid of him, we might be in for some relatively shitty 2nd team offenses.

big difference between 5 and 9 mil. 

 

pj has simply been off. he is ready def physically and has played with older guys in the dl. 

 

he is a gunner. gonna be lighting things up or cold. 

 

teams dont need D off the bench. teams need scoring off the bench. ill take pj off the bench to score more points quicker than hendo would. 

 

we need to remove hendo asap.

PJ refuses to do anything but shoot. Henderson, while he lacks a long range shot, is a more complete player. Ill take him as my sixth man.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
