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.

    • Team is going to look mighty different and while I’d love to keep our guys. I’m going to go a different route and bring in a bunch of new guys. I’ll break it down by line: Guentzel - Aho - Jarvis (Bringing Guentzel back along with RFA Jarvis is a no brainer) Svechnikov - Unger-Sorum - Toffoli (Throw FUS into the fire and give him two goal scorers in Svech and FA Toffoli to feed. Teravainen - Kuznetsov - Noesen (Bring Turbo back on a discount and bring back our only net front in Noesen) Martinook - Staal - Fast (Bring back Martinook and reunite the MAF line) Extra: Lemieux (The perfect extra) Slavin - Carrier (Burns is declining, bring in Alex Carrier who I’m a big fan of) Byram - Burns (Ship Necas to Buffalo for Byram) Orlov - Chatfield (Bringing back Chatfield is a no brainer) Extra: Morrow (He’ll get his chance) Kochetkov (It’s his time) Andersen (Only a couple years left) Martin (Most of his time will be in the AHL) First Call-Up’s: Nadeau, Blake Trade: Necas (He’ll be too expensive, trade him for a top 4 LD) Trade: Kotkaniemi (Probably won’t get anything for him, just attach a pick to him and be done with it) Walk: Pesce (Getting older, will be expensive, play will decline soon) Walk: Skjei (This one hurts the most but we won’t be able to afford him) Walk: Drury (Staal is still better than him at this point and they are redundant) Walk: DeAngelo (Thank you for your service) Walk: Raanta (Hopefully he retires) Walk: Tieksola, Murray, Burke (Better AHL options out there) Re-Sign: Comtois (Throw him in the AHL so we have a guy to protect our prospects) Re-Sign: Suzuki (Good depth for our AHL team) Re-Sign: Coghlan (Good AHL player) Re-Sign: Mendel (Good AHL player) Re-Sign: Smith (Good AHL player)  
    • So the Huddle thinks he is either a youth pastor or Ted Bundy. I honestly love it! Let's just hope he can coach in his off time!
    • Yeah that is the old school way, have your young QB sit. Which I guess got less popular when they had to pay the top draftees so much.
