Gerald Henderson

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.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
