What a difference one spot better in the draft makes

[God]

Terrence Williams has his first career triple double tonight in an upset win vs the Bulls and has had a very good past 2 months. Meanwhile, Hendo is racking up DNP's.

[Mesmer]

Basically every draft in pro sports is a crapshoot. But, none bigger than the NBA Draft. This stuff happens every year. But on another note, it's not like Henderson is exactly a bust yet.

[King Taharqa]

If Williams was here, chances are LB would treat him the same way. He doesnt trust rookies like that, and takes his chances with veteran players. I still think Hendo can develop into a good player for us.

[God]

Not labeling Hendo a bust. I think he has potential and just needs some time. Now, why didn't he play tonight? Game was pretty much meaningless but Larry Hughes got a LOT of minutes.

[Mesmer]

Maybe trying to get Hughes in rhythm by the time the playoffs start. Isn't he shooting like 20% or something lol?

[God]

Lmao yeah he has been shooting horribly.

[HeatCheck]

His last assist was kinda cheap. He had a full court pass to a wide open Lopez when the game was pretty much over.

But I was high on T-Will coming out of Louisville. He is versatile and he was the one player I wanted for the Bobcats in the draft. When I heard his name for the Nets I was pissed.

Agreed. I think you are seeing some Duke hating coming out also when people start piling on Hendo.

[Panthers128]

Yeah and I think he started getting the not activated status right around Duke's Final Four/Championship days. Coincidence? You decide.

[CatMan72]

But point taken, we missed Dwight Howard by one spot in the draft and ended up with Okafor...

UNC fan here, and I would not say Henderson is a bust considering he is only averaging 7.7 minutes per game, mainly because the Bobcats have a pretty deep roster. As where Terrence Williams is averaging 22 minutes per game and the Nets have about as much depth as a kiddie pool.

[mick eye]

The Bobcats had their eye on Terrence Williams. I will not say Henderson was a backup plan but if Williams would have been there he would have been the pick.

Agree, he hasn't had enough playing time to be labeled a bust.
