Dont you guys think its about time for them to add one for him. He obviously is a legit prospect, in my mind the 3rd best freshman after Wall and Favors....How could they not have one for him yet.... My NBA comparison for him is Paul Pierce, hes got that same inside outside game and could improve off the dribble

Oh, Sprewell, how we miss

Oh, Sprewell, how we miss you

I see Xavier Henry as a rich man's Brandon Rush.

I've been asking this same question for months now. I've heard him be compared to Joe Johnson.

Henry

It's not that Aran doesn't know he's a big time prospect (I believe he had him going top 3 in this upcoming draft six months ago on a previous mock), I think Aran hasn't come up with a legit comparison for him yet. He does have a little Paul Pierce in him, but he's never going to be that good.

Glen Rice is a great

Glen Rice is a great comparison, I've never been impressed with Henry's quickness, much like Rice, but his strength and body control are definitely top notch.

Overdue

I think we all know what X can do and what he's capable on the basketball court be it his strengths and weakness... I think it's a long overdue for nbadraft.net to make a profile for this kid... Even if you put N/A to his NBA Comparison that's cool until you find a player you can compare him with... But I like the Glen Rice and Joe Johnson comparison...

X profile

We have a profile of X in the works. Jimmy Jackson is his comparison.

Yes, THAT Jimmy Jackson, although Toni Braxton background music would have been more fitting...

X Henry Profile

Ask and you shall receive. (at least this time).

http://www.nbadraft.net/players/xavier-henry

and Jason Kidd always denied those rumors so he denies comment on the joke too.

I'm surprised Xavier's

I'm surprised Xavier's athleticism grades out as a 7.

I understand he's not the quickest guy in the world, but he really does look like Paul Pierce 2.0 to me.
