That’s awesome.
-
Amazing what playing for the Knicks can do for your statline
-
Rooting hard for Henry to get another 10 day.
-
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.
-
Henry obviously didn’t hear that Tom Oates proclaimed his career a “sad, cautionary tale.”

Maybe Oates was talking about his own career? :D

Tom Oates hates Marquette more than anyone else I know.

Sometimes it is just all about fit. Would be great if it works out and he has a long and productive nba career

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

Did Wes even put on a uni?
-
Maybe it's finally starting to click for him. Henry is only 22 years old, younger than some players just entering the NBA.

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.
-
Awesome for Henry, I hope it lands the next job! I'm not sure the Knicks wanted him to play that well considering the Zion tank campaign!
-
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.

So true about so many things in life, beyond the NBA.

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.

The Knicks have the Tank-a-thon going on.

Mike Breen's call on this three is sweet!

Henry is 8 months younger than "sophomore" D'mitrik Trice.

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.

Very happy for Henry. Hope he keeps it rolling with the Knicks.

Always, always ride to the Badgers rescue, Chico's! Never change! It's, you know, traditional for you.

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.
-
Sounds like he has the right attitude: "I just want to keep it going. I had one good game. I'll enjoy it tonight but it's back to work tomorrow."
-

Is that a problem? A lot of students don't graduate until 26 or later for various reasons.

I assume you mean his "freshman" year of eligibility.

I wouldn’t characterize it as a “problem”, but it does make me chuckle when Badger fans bemoan their troubles this year and blame it on how young the team is.

Henry is being dubbed "Poor Zingis" by a bunch of Knick fans.
-
They won't re-sign him......
They are trying to lose for Zion......
Last thing they want is a bunch of 10 day contract guys getting them out of last place.....
Actually.....I find it kind of humorous......
Dammit.....These "scrubs" are playing too good......
We can't have that!!!

As long as they are in the bottom three, they're good, right?

That's kind of funny. It also keeps with the rule that "traditionals" must only be compared to other "traditionals".

And bailey will be 25 when he graduates as a 4 year senior. What's your unnatural carnal knowledgeing point?

Lol, you acting like an a hole Badger fans did with Diener’s age, or Otule, etc, and calling someone else a Badger fan as a result... irony of the delicious variety.

Probably, but I find it incredible that someone willing rips on Badger fans and in the process acts like a Badger fan and his defense....wait for it....is to label others as Badger fans even though he is the one acting like them. Amazing.

Once again Chicos, I apologize for offending your traditional team.

I chose to attend MU, never attended or applied to UW-Madison, whom I have ripped on here for 10 years, but yes acknowledged they were the best team in the state since 2000....facts don’t mean I like them. I look forward to being the dominant team in the state again, but that won’t be easy with their support.

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".
