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.

    • his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen. 
    • Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.
    • Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
