Gerald Henderson Summer League Stats


Recommended Posts

Did the Bobcats draft another bust? I am not going to declare that yet, but Gerald Henderson's Summer League debut was less than average. First of all I would like to take it into account that he is playing with the Minnesota Timberwolves however the T-Wolves to have a couple of young studs out their on the court in Wayne Ellington, Corey Brewer and Johnny Flynn. However they were not good enough to handle the Rockets and James White, Chase Budinger and Joey Dorsey. The Rockets won a low scoring game 79-65. While Gerald Henderson did not even contribute a point during his 19 minutes of play. The Timberwolves sit at 0-1 in Summer League Play.

I am not to thrilled with the T-Wolves organization right now. Unlike the T-Wolves, the Pistons, Warriors, and Jazz have treated the Bobcats players with class. Now the T-Wolves on the other hand are making a mockery of the Bobcats organization. There were no notices that Henderson suffered an injury during game one of the Las Vegas Summer League. There was no notice today that the T-Wolves would not play Henderson, but I tuned into the game three different times to see if Henderson had entered the game. He hadn't and I soon figured out that he was not playing.

In Henderson's third performance he struggled again going 3-10 from the field and 0-1 from the three point arc. Hopefully when he gets to Charlotte, Larry Brown can help this young player out.

The T-Wolves are currently 1-2 in summer league play.

He only took 3 shots, so don't read a thing into not scoring.

I question your motives when you call Wayne Ellington a stud, and Henderson a bust. Ellington played 24 minutes and scored 4 points on 2 of 12 shooting. What a stud!

You apparently did not read what I said. I asked if Henderson was a bust, and said he was not yet. However Ellington is a stud he is a sharpshooter that can get it done when it needs to be done. So show some respect rookie.

You can't always make assumptions based on one summer league game that isn't even being held by our coaches. Once Larry Brown gets a hold of him, we'll see what he has and what he doesn't have.

Thank you for not misquoting me like the unfortunate fellow that posted below you. However I did not like the draft pick of Henderson and I believe he will be a bust.

Sharpshooter? 2 of 12. Like I said, I question your motives.

Read all you want into summer games. AMMO is second in the league in scoring. That should translate well into being the 12th man on someone's bench.

Did you really just call him a rookie because of his post count? Yeah because your opinion is so much better then his because you sit on here all day and post. It's a summer league game, who cares. Like he said Wayne shot 2-12 and you called him a stud. What a joke. So if someone shoots 3-12 they most be god to you. Wait i just noticed you signed up here after me, show some respect rookie.

At least Wayne had the balls to shoot unlike Henderson who was just turning the ball over, or even running up and down the court. Watch your mouth.

I just signed up on here and I dont post very often, but I have been a constant visiter to this site for over almost 2 years. Just because he has not posted often and signed up recently does not even mean he is a rookie. And why would you call someone a rookie to a forum? This isnt a sport, this isnt competitive. You sit on here ALL DAY and call someone a rookie... and he might call you a nerd just the same ( I know you are on here all day, because I check this site 3-4 times a week and you ALWAYS have a post in EVERYTHING )

    • From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.    
    • not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.  
    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
