Does anyone else look at him and just not see a successful NBA player? 

[TRC1991Participant]

I’m just guessing you’re saying this because his body type resembles many that have lacked serious levels of success in the league (anthony randolph, brandan wright, tyrus thomas)

[UNCbasketballbumParticipant]

solid, but never an all-star.  Not strong enough, not skilled enough to play the 3.  He’ll be better than Brandan Wright, but nothing more than a rotation player.

[fliptonnParticipant]

probably. its really hard to look at him and not see brandon wright. he’s just sooo skinny, and he doesnt look like a can put on weight. maybe a rotation player down the road but i just don’t see him ever having a real impact

i see a great energy player who rebound and defend well, probably of the bench, remind me very much Amir Johnson!

I see him as an Ok player at the next level. I think about 10-12p 7-8reb and top 10-15 in the league in blocks is about his ceiling…

[PulseGlazerParticipant]

I like him and think he’ll succeed thanks to his work ethic, but, and this is a big one, he has such a high bust potential due to his comparables that if I were a GM, I’d let him be someone else’s risk until the mid-first.

 I like him too, he doesn’t have great range, but he has a really soft touch in the 8-10 foot range a lot like Serge Ibaka.  With his length and shot blocking paired with that soft jumper, I think he’ll find a spot getting regular minutes pretty early.

Theo Ratliff, Serge Ibaka, Sam Dalembert, who ever you want to draw comparisons to, guys like him have had success in the league and I see Henson doing the same thing.

 

[Sewok15Participant]

Ibaka is a physical specimen and that will never be said about Henson. I see him potentially slipping in the draft and for good reason…I don’t see him as a successful NBA player.

I would live with what he is (just a shot blocker who will have to come off the bench and be a matchup player) in the lower third of the first round. In the lottery, it is a bad value and assures a team of being in the lottery again next year.
