Round 1: Gerald Henderson, SG, Duke

[King Taharqa]

Discuss.

[King Taharqa]

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.

I like the pick as well. Im excited to see what this guy can do.

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.

The Tar Heel in me hates the hell out of this pick

The rational side says it could work out

The Bobcat fan in me is rooting for him to beast and help us make the playoffs

Bobcats are going to be ridiculous on d this season, barring another injury like we saw with Wallace this year.

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.

Shhhh....we're just a couple of retards. No reason to voice our opinions.

[chabber]

Who cares, that play was discussed enough when it happened. No need to bring it in here.

I'm fine with the pick but I've gotta give another big F*** YOU to NJ before the night is through.

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.
