Watched the game.  Knicks were getting clobbered early and Fizdale then played the young bench guys.  Huge comeback with Henry and Mitchell Robinson leading the way and in last minute with game tied, he hit the go ahead gaming winning three. I bet he played over 30 minutes and probably best game of his career.

Maybe going to the Knicks is a career extender for MUBB (Novak, Henry, Wes...to a degree).

He not only put on a uni, he was deemed the "best leader on the team" for like 2 games before getting his walking papers.

It also helps that he is getting an opportunity. It never felt like he got much of a shake in detroit, but recency bias could be clouding my judgment on that.

He wasn't the one and done superstar shoe-in that he seemed like when he was 17 but I'll celebrate any MU player earning an NBA contract.  Hope this is a step towards bigger things.

It's one game on a 10 game contract. Hopefully it works out for him, but I'm not ready to say all he needed was a change of scenery.

In Henrys case its all about putting the ball in the basket from the perimeter, something i have never seen him do with any consistency.  Me thinks this is prolly a statistical outlier and that he will go right back to being a shooter that cant shoot.

I feel Detroit was always hovering around the 8 seed and Van Grundy was on the hot seat, so they needed more proven talent and couldn't wait to develop Henry. It didn't help that Blake Griffin was traded for and it seems like Leuer took other available minutes. Granted, they saw him in practice every day, so he may just not be good enough.

Totally agree with Sand-Knit. His value is being a big that can stretch the floor. If his jump shot isn't a threat, he's going to have a tough time getting minutes. Hopefully he can get some run with the Knicks and get signed for next year somewhere.

They are 2-0 with Henry.  If he keeps this up, he will play them out of the Zion sweepstakes and then Henry will need armed security to live in NYC.

My team is Marquette.  I was asking a question.  I'm guessing he is a sophomore or do you have additional information to share?  He is older, we have had older guys, too.  Travis Diener was one and Badger a-holes would blast him for it.  Don't be a Badger a-hole, you can be better than that.

Trice was 19 when he graduated high school. He turned 20 after a post-graduate year at IMG Academy. Played his freshman year at UW, then suffered a foot injury 10 games into the 2017-18 season and received a medical hardship. So this season he's using his second year of eligibility.

That makes him a sophomore. Call him a redshirt sophomore or third-year sophomore if you like. He will turn 23 this May.

His situation isn't all that different from some former players at Marquette. Chris Otule was 24 years old by the time he graduated. Brendan Bailey will turn 22 this June after completing his freshman year of eligibility.

If Trice were to get injured and be granted a second redshirt as Otule was, he'll be 26 when he graduates.

He's gonna get it according to the Post article above: https://nypost.com/2019/02/27/former-draft-bust-becomes-unlikely-hero-for-knicks/

Quote FTA
"Coach Fiz left me in there for a while in the first half,'' Ellenson said. "I looked back a couple of times because I didn't expect it. I can't tell you the last time I played 36 minutes.''

That would be at Marquette, where he was a one-and-done, outside-shooting big man whom the Knicks will sign to a second 10-day contract Friday.

He's shooting 50% from 3 in the three games he's played with NYK so far (6 for 12).  If he keeps that average anywhere near 40% going forward, he'll be on someone's roster next year. 

Glad to see it working out so far for him - no matter how we look back on his 1 year at MU, it's always good PR to have meaningful NBA minutes associated with "Marquette product".
