Still getting easy rebounds.  And shooting 3's.

He is an easy rebound genious. Good form on the 3s.

Only a fool would suggest differently. The same is true of pretty much every rookie except for the truly special ones.

Heck, many consider Simmons "special," and he indeed was/is special enough to have been drafted No. 1. And he also has a long way to go.

It is very easy to see the benefit of Henry being a first round draft choice.  He is calm out there and not forcing things to happen. Pretty much sticking with the things he is good at . He is also doing little things he never did at MU, such as setting picks and moving the ball nicely .

I think it will take him a while to get up to the speed of play when actual league play come around.  Once he does things will get interesting as one of his big assets is his Basketball IQ.

As a Pistons fan, I am thrilled to have Henry.  I expect him to play, but not star this year.  Hanging out on the perimeter today.

Henry ended up with 12 points and 8 boards in 26 minutes today. He ran the floor well in the second half.

Happy for him to get off to a nice start.

I agree with the announcer that HE will have to get stronger.

The good news is getting stronger is in his own control.

All teams have programs for that. Look at MJs body as a rookie and then again a few years later.

Good article on Henry and  his first game, refers to the strength issue.

Much like NFL rookies, NBA rookies sign for scale.

Watched some of the first half today.  Amazing how much smaller Henry looks surrounded by potential NBA players.  Tried to go to the hoop a few times, but wasn't strong enough.  Missed a three.  Was active on defense, but seemed to get pushed around under the boards.  Obviously a work in progress.

Ended up 2-11 from the field. 0-6 from 3. 6-7 free throws. 10 points.

He is 6-24 from the field in the two games combined. Room for improvement.

I had the same feeling watching Frank Kaminsky play for the Hornets last season. He was so tall and strong his last year at Wisconsin but seemed almost puny compared to pro bigs. The Hornets used him outside a lot, and he was decent behind the arc, but he usually was a defensive liability and did very little posting up.

And, sources say, he went to college for four years.

It will take Hank some time to take this huge step. It's too early to even make an educated guess as to how good he'll be.

It is also worth noting that today, most of the time Henry was being guarded by Stephen Zimmerman, who is also a one and done.

I have never liked the Henry on the perimeter look. I much prefer the inside game he has and would like to see him combine that with his rebounding instincts which are very strong.
