Title: Henry down to 13 on Draft Express

He's slid 4 spots in the last three weeks.

I went on ESPN Lottery simulator today.  I ran the simulation about a dozen times, and it got some pretty interesting results

http://espn.go.com/nba/lottery2016/mockdraft

Basically, Chad Ford thinks that if the Suns don't get a top 3 pick, they'll nab Hank between 4-6.  If the Suns get a top 3, they'll take Simmons (#1) or Ingram, and Henry will fall to one of the other squads below them, such as the Nuggets or Pelicans.

For Bucks fans, every simulation I ran had the Bucks taking Poeltl with the 10th pick.  I tried to run it enough times to see what they might do with a top 3, but they never won in my simulations.

Definitely depends on who needs what, which is why some guys are taken higher than they ought to be in certain years but the ping pong balls wound up influencing that selection.   Same is also true where a guy has slipped at times because of the order of teams drafting.  Some draft best players, some draft by need, so that can juggle up the value proposition for an individual player.  Much like in the NFL if a team has a great QB who is young, and the best player available is a QB, they will often pass for someone else because that player isn't needed, even though that QB waiting to be drafted is the best player remaining on the board.

For the sake of folks who are actually doing something at work and not goofing around like I am, I compiled a list of Henry's position in various mock drafts I could find.  Some of these take team needs into account, others are going with the "best player available" theory.  Once the lottery happens tonight, we will start seeing more mock drafts that are trying to pair teams with needs.  I can update this as things change.

I did enough scenarios to see what Ford thinks Milwaukee would do at 1, 2, and 3.

1. Ben Simmons
2. Brandon Ingram
3. Jamal Murray

To be fair, every scenario I ran had Simmons/Ingram going 1/2 (in that order). The 3 pick was where disparity started. Most scenarios had Dragan Bender or Kris Dunn going at 3. The only outliers I saw for that were the Kings taking Buddy Hield at 3 and the Bucks or Celtics taking Murray. Every scenario where the Bucks weren't in the lottery, they took Poetl at 10 or 11.

Saw Ellenson going anywhere from 5-7. Usually to the Suns at 5 or 6, but if they got into the lottery or Bender was available, they took him first and Henry fell to either the Nuggets or Pelicans at 7.

Henry is exactly the type of player who falls on draft boards as draft day gets closer. He's a safe pick. He has a low floor but a limited ceiling. He's not a franchise-altering player and GMs basically know what he's going to be - a solid, unspectacular big man. Often NBA GMs prefer to take chances on guys like Labissiere or Davis because of their upside and athleticism despite their bust potential.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Henry go in the top 4 but I also wouldn't be shocked if he dropped out of the lottery.

I just wonder how much of those comparisons are because of position and skin color.

Personally, I see Henry as a 12-15 year NBA player. Not sure he's in the league of Dirk or Love, though, and no one ever says "He's the next Josh McRoberts" about anyone. Not saying that's what Henry is, but pre-draft comparisons always seem to be absolute best case scenarios.

I did see Henry recently compared to Spencer Hawes. My initial reaction was, "No freakin' way!" But Hawes did have a nice one-and-done season at Washington - 15/6 with 2A and 2B while shooting 53%. He was the leading scorer for a very young but talented Huskies team that beat several ranked teams, including No. 2 UCLA, but didn't make the tourney. Quincy Pondexter - we remember him! - was a freshman.

Hawes went on to be the No. 10 pick for the NBA hellhole that is Sacramento. He has had six NBA seasons averaging double-digit points and six averaging at least 7 boards. He's been in the league for nine years and was a solid role player for the Hornets this past season.

Obviously, Henry would like to do better, and we'd like him to do better, but there would be absolutely no shame in having a career similar to that of Hawes - who already has made $40 million and is guaranteed another $12 million over the next two seasons.

NBA Player Comparisons aren't always the most accurate.

Henry is a 6'11" white guy with some range. That's why he's compared to Dirk and Love. If he really was the second-coming of either of those guys, he'd be a top 3 pick without question.

Hawes is a solid comparison. I also see HE being similar to Ersan Ilyasova, Channing Frye or Kelly Olynyk - reliable, double-digit-scoring big men with range. Those guys can have loooong careers and make boatloads of money.

Title: Re: Henry down to 13 on Draft Express
Post by: wadesworld on May 17, 2016, 02:52:53 PM
While I agree that pre-draft comparisons tend to be best case scenarios, neither Love nor Dirk were top 3 picks.  Hank, at the moment, does not shoot the ball as well as either of those 2, but he is a far better ball handler and rebounder than Hawes or McRoberts were even at their prime.

a few of you have mentioned that HE would go to the pelicans if they pick later than 5-6.  they already have anthony davis and dante cunningham at PF's.  obviously davis is a STUD, but don't know much about dante.  that being noted, why would the pelicans take HE?  best available or better than dante?  both or one can never have enough decent PF's?

If you look historically at mock drafts, the 'experts' are obviously guessing to a large degree.

This draft might be even trickier than most once you get past the first ~two picks on down into the mid-teens.

Wouldn't surprise me either.  All it takes is one GM to over pick a guy, or another to not pull the trigger.  Aaron Rodgers comes to mind.  Cody Zeller comes to mind.

agreed it's very a lazy comp and everyone does it. HE's best comp to me is Bosh. Not too far off from people comparing Jae to anyone with dreadlocks (Kenneth Farried) which is equally as lazy. Someone actually compared HE to Nick Collison which was almost like they were just searching for a tall white guy to compare him to. frustrating but it also doesn't really matter.

Not the worst comparison but personally I think Hank is a much better ball handler than Bosh ever was while I think Bosh was much more athletic, quicker laterally, and leaner than Hank.  That's why I don't think Dirk and Love are "lazy" comparisons because they are "just white post players who can stretch the floor."  They have similar builds and similar games.  Neither are overly athletic or laterally quick, both are a little bigger guys, and both can handle the basketball very well for near 7 footers.  And yes, they are white and can stretch the floor from the post position.

I think most white guys are compared to other white guys because...well, in the NBA most white guys play a similar style to each other.  For every Jason Williams who can beat a guy off the dribble with his quickness and change of direction, there are about 20 Dirks or Dragics who play the Euro style basketball with pump fakes and shooting ability and court awareness and spacing and footwork.  How many white guys in the NBA do you see relying on 100% athleticism and jumping over guys to dunk on them like a Blake Griffin or DeAndre Jordan?  Not many.  So that's why you typically aren't seeing a guy like Henry Ellenson compared to DeAndre Jordan.  The comparison simply isn't there.  A guy like Henry, who plays a Euro style game, will usually be compared to a Euro style player, because the comparison fits, it makes sense.  Most Euro style players happen to be white players.  It's not laziness.  It's the style of game that is played.

Just like if you go back to the glory days of Bert when we were starting guys like Jae, DJO, Jimmy, Vander, OTule, Gardner, etc. and you look at Wisconsin starting a bunch of white guys, you wouldn't say, "Well, I think a good comparison for UW is Marquette."  Is that because Marquette was starting a bunch of African Americans while UW was starting a bunch of white farm boys?  Of course not.  It's because their 2 styles were completely different, despite being 2 good teams.  If I had to compare UW to another team or program I would say Georgetown, who typically doesn't play a ton of white guys.  But how can that be?  Me being lazy, I should just compare UW to a school that starts a bunch of other white farm boys...

If he's available at 10 they would take him unless someone they really wanted like a Heild also somehow fell to 10.  I don't see either available.

Steve is gone either way.  Nice career, made over $20M.  Well done.  Enjoy the coaching ranks if that's the path you so choose, Steve.  Otherwise enjoy wherever warm place you move.

I made the Danny manning comparison .  6'11 multidimensional forward.  Can handle the ball with either hand, lead the break, get to the basket off of the dribble.   Mobile.  Not yet a great spot up shooter beyond 15 ft, but that could improve.  I actually think we are selling Henry short when we make our comparisons based on melatonin.   How about a less explosive Durant?   Bosh who can dribble with either hand.   Griffin without the dunking.   Once he gets stronger and more consistent from distance, he will be fine.

The Bucks might be in the worst spot in the draft unless someone slides. By general consensus, there are 2 tier 1 players (Ingram and Simmons) and 5-7 tier 2 players depending on who you ask. Poetl would be a good consolation prize, but that isn't the team's biggest need.

I actually think Poeltl is the biggest need, but really, really hope we don't get him.  He's literally the only guy in the draft I'd be disappointed with the Bucks taking.  At 10 in a very bad draft, I have accepted that chances are the player we get this year will never be an all star, but I'm hoping that we either take a guy like Valentine who will be a solid glue guy right away or get someone who develops over a 3 year period into someone who can be a solid glue guy down the road.

If he is able to be at least decent in the post defensively and his shot develops I think it'd be great.  You could play him at the 5 and pull the opposition's center away from the basket while you let Giannis and Jabari slash to the bucket with no rim protector there.

I have been seeing Wade Baldwin to the bucks a fair amount too here and there, could be a really good 3 and D type "point guard".  Point guard defensively (6' 10" wingspan) so Giannis can guard a bigger guy and shooter on O.  I didn't really see him much in college though, but the fit is interesting

I've thought for a while now that HE was overrated out of high school.  Looks like NBA scouts are starting to agree.

What would that make Skal Labissiere, Cheick Diallo, Diamond Stone and Malik Newman, aka four of the eight guys rated ahead of him in the RSCI?

I'll tell you what. I've generally been great when it comes to scouting and projecting.

Wade Baldwin and KAT.. no.

Totally missed on them. Impressed, but not nearly to the level they are (KAT) and are being talked about (Baldwin). They were together, maybe that's part of it? Don't know. Need to reevaluate.

Hank working out for the Lakers today.

I heard they think he'd be a great 2nd round pick

Ellenson is making the rounds. Already worked out with a ton of teams in the top 10 and will be with the Bucks soon.

Wait, what?!  I thought Hank couldn't stand Wojo and Duane was ready to spill the dirty beans to the BE reporter via Twitter!

Would love to see Hank stay in MKE, but I think he gowne by then.

Would be great for MU if Henry went to the Bucks.  Would also be an excellent payday for him. Lets hope it happens.

Wojo clearly trying to sabotage HE's draft stock right in front of him at his workouts.  He will not rest until he falls out of the 1st round.

Mind games.  Wojo has been practicing them for a long time now.  It seems he may have perfected the art.

Yes. Didn't think teal was necessary for something so over the top. But I guess you can never know for sure around here.

I actually think we are selling Henry short when we make our comparisons based on melatonin.

Does Ellenson struggle with sleep issues?

I've heard the T-wolves could be looking to trade their pick to the Bulls for Jimmy but if they keep the pick I could see the T-wolves taking either Henry or even Kris Dunn.
Title: Re: Henry down to 13 on Draft Express
Post by: LAMUfan on June 17, 2016, 11:13:38 AM
HE's not going at 5.  Dunn would be a better bet to be taken at 5 but I don't really see it as a good idea.

According to NBA GMs, the consensus for the top 7 players are set.

Ellenson and Hield are next in line.

Whether Henry gets selected at 8 or 9 or jumps up a spot or two (maybe due to a team need / trade), still depends on that team need plus scouting opinions after their workouts, however.

Yes.

Chad Ford polled a number of NBA GMs & scouts asking them to grade players by tiers.

There was one in Tier 1 - Simmons

There was one in Tier 2 - Ingram

There were 5 in Tier 3 - Bender, Brown, Chriss, Dunn, Murray

There were 7 in Tier 4 - of which Hield and Ellenson graded highest.

Instead of just being as chica-esque of a jerk and as condescending to as many people as you can, why don't you just ignore my posts? I have no interest in your posts, so please return the favor.

The difference between us is that I will give my opinion - this is an opinion board - while you mock the opinions of others. That speaks to your character, not mine.

No. I take issue when you misstate facts or fail to explain what you are truly saying. "According to NBA GMs, the consensus for the top 7 players are set." ESPN's article does not represent the consensus of NBA GM's and it certainly doesn't mean the top 7 players "are set"

I made the Danny manning comparison .  6'11 multidimensional forward.  Can handle the ball with either hand, lead the break, get to the basket off of the dribble.   Mobile.  Not yet a great spot up shooter beyond 15 ft, but that could improve.  I actually think we are selling Henry short when we make our comparisons based on melatonin.   How about a less explosive Durant?   Bosh who can dribble with either hand.   Griffin without the dunking.   Once he gets stronger and more consistent from distance, he will be fine.

Fortunately, it's been a few months, but just to be sure, it's probably time to put the melatonin jokes to bed... unless you disagree with the sentiment that cracking fun about cancer and heart attacks is very poor taste.
