Henderson Wants To Stay With Cats


Recommended Posts

Maybe the light's finally gone off for him offensively???? He's been playing lights out lately.

Another thing, do you think Bis is turning the corner? He's been pretty impressive lately comparably. He's got a couple double double's a few 10-12 point games over the last two weeks.

I wouldnt mind bring Hendo back, but its got to be at the right price. I honestly have no idea what kind of market there is for him around the league, if he had a reliable 3pt shot then I think some other team might splurge on an Aaron Afflalo type deal but playing on the bobcats probably hurts his value.

He is a restricted FA, so I could see him coming back on a 2 yr/ $12 mil deal or so if he cant find a long term deal somewhere

Gotta keep Hendo at a reasonable price. I do honestly believe that he can keep up the kind of play that he has been displaying of late. I think it is clear that he has been given the green light to score and be THAT guy. He has a smooth mid range game, post game, 3 pt shot is solid enough (not lights out by any stretch but when he shoots you know it can go in now), and the man is a good leader. I think pairing Kemba with Hendo for the future is a good look. Just need to add some good front court talent and I think we will be solid. Just my 2 cents

I'm not 100% sure if Henderson is the starting SG of the future for the Bobcats (ideally you'd like to pair someone like Wiggins with Kemba and MKG), but I fully believe that he is capable of 18+ ppg on 47% shooting from the field and good defense (although his team defense has been atrocious this season -- more to do with the lack of coaching and defensive players around him imo as his individual defense is good and effort isn't lacking). The thing that I'd really like to see improvement in from Hendo is his ability to create plays for others. Some friends and I always joke around and call him Baby Kobe. Obviously he isn't close to Kobe, but he has a lot of refined moves that Kobe uses. Hendo is a fantastic mid range shooter (one of the best in the NBA), he's good around the basket, has been getting to the FT line lately, and has a nice post game. I honestly see no reason why he cannot keep this up and average 18-20 ppg on good shooting numbers. The tools are there, the hard work and dedication is there, and the the flashes are there.

I'd like to see him back at 3/18 if possible, but it of course depends completely on the market out there. Just don't overpay him.

You can't really down play his production over the last few months. I would love to have him back, reasonable of course. The Denver model, keep that in mind, no star, just a lot of good players, keep acquiring talent.

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
