Draft Notes
Hendricks has been flying under the radar playing at UCF but he’s a big time talent with high lottery potential. He’ an ideal fit in today’s NBA as a versatile big who can guard the rim, defend all over the court and space the floor on offense.
Has great size, length and mobility plus a sweet shooting stroke.
Has great touch on his jumper and projects as a high level 3pt shooter at the next level. Has deep range and makes it look easy and effortless.
At 6-9 with a strong frame Hendricks is a bouncy athlete who gets off the floor effortlessly and is a true above-the-rim player. He’s a great dunker and is always a threat on the offensive glass.
A standout defender who can guard 3-5 and is a really instinctual rim protector, Hendricks is exactly the type of big versatile forward that is highly coveted in the league these days.
Has great movement skills for a player his size and easily passes the eye test. He’s got more star potential than people realize.
