Feel bad for Henry

[brewcity77]

I don't care how much money you have, having tourney memories with your big brother can't be bought.

Actually, they can be. $50k will buy him tourney memories in the Vegas 16 with Wally.

Get your point. My point on once in 25 year player is based off what could have been. His numbers are off the charts now and only would have increased each year. He would have put numbers that never would be broken if he stayed four years. Stick with my once in 25 year guy.

Interesting question.  If you could go back to the start of the season and had you choice of Freshman year Henry, or Freshman year Dom, who would you take.

For this team, I'd take Dom.  Think we would have been an NCAA team with him.

Doing a quick search of mock drafts gives me hope HE will return.  I looked at 10 of them and only 2 had HE picked in the top 10.  If he's not a sure-fire top 10, why not gamble on yourself to improve?

Replace Henry with Dom?    Who rebounds?    Who is coaching?     I cannot picture a team that consistently has Sandy, Wally, Sacar, JaJuan guarding the post as a tournament team.     Wasn't Dom made better by Steve Novak's presence?    If you cheated off Steve, 3 pointer.   If you didn't cheat, open driving lane.

Thinkin' outside the box, Doe.  I like it.

Fine then, I'm pulling our sponsorship of the Benny B thunderdome.  Think of it as a memory that never happened - because you don't care about money.

No worries, I'll still name a restroom for you, Rocky.

Not one ounce of sorrow for HE...I am more concerned about what will be left behind...I mean this Top 5 Lottery pick couldn't turn this team into one of the top 100 teams in the country...the cupboard must really be bare

AGRRED!

He isn't a top 5 lottery pick. 

[CTWarrior]

He isn't a top 5 lottery pick.

Some of the mocks have him there, but I think you will be proven correct.  Lack of athleticism would make me nervous if I was a GM.  I do think he'll find a niche and be a very useful NBA player, though.

Any team that uses a lottery pick on him better be prepared to watch him struggle mightily on defense his first year. He is a tremendous offensive talent but was abused nightly by anyone 6-8 and muscular.

Just curious, where do you see him going?

...I mean this Top 5 Lottery pick couldn't turn this team into one of the top 100 teams in the country...

I know this is meant to troll, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there's more than one NBA scout who's said the exact same thing in their head and wondered about which part might be untrue, the lottery part or the top 100 part.

Though in Henry's defense, they could also be saying the same thing about Ben Simmons.

Dirk Nowitski has always struggled mightily on defense.  Is HE = Dirk?  Probably not, but IMO he could be a poor man's version.  His rookie season Nowitski shot 41% overall, 20% from 3, 77% from the line, and averaged 8.2 points in 21 minutes on a 19-31 Mavericks team.  HE's offense can carry him a long way if he can simply be not awful on D.
