Strengths: Very athletic. Strong defender. Quick player. Good mid-range shooter. Good at slashing to the hoop. Good genes - dad played 13 seasons in the NBA. Strong physique. Explosive leaper - attacks the rim. Long wingspan. Very experienced - played for one of the top coaches in the world in one of the top conferences in college. Strong physique. Tough player. Showed ability to be a clutch player in last season’s NCAA tournament. Good shot blocker for a wing player - led Duke in blocks his sophomore year. Solid rebounder for a guard. Has three-point range.

Weaknesses: Will be undersized for the NBA. Very inconsistent. Never been a big-time scorer in college. Never proved he could be “the man” for Duke. Mediocre free throw shooter (much improved his junior year though). A decent ball-handler but it still needs more work. Needs to become more of a long-range threat - doesn’t hit too many threes.

SUCK! I'll never forgive him for breaking Hansbroughs nose with that cheapshot. Bobcat or not, he can go break an ankle for all I care.

lol Henderson didn't intentionally elbow Hansbrough in the nose, and anyone who thinks that is a retard. So I guess it makes sense that you would believe that.

I like the pick...I have always thought he would end up being a more consistent, if not better pro than Williams. He is a smart, tough player that plays d. Those are things that can't be taught. His shooting will improve, but it still sucks we couldn't get a better scorer with the pick. I'm hoping for someone who can come off the bench and put some points on the board in the 2nd round. Meeks can do that, but he plays the same position as Henderson.

Yes, because players always throw their elbows down in full force towards another players face when losing to a hated rival in the final seconds when attempting to get the ball which he was not even close to.

Perfectly clean, no ill intentions at all.

lol yes that's exactly what he was doing, you didn't skew or exaggerate that play at all. I'm sorry, I was wrong.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.

      The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit.

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
