So many Jazz fans have been WAY too harsh on Hendricks. He just turned 20, didn’t play summer league, is coming off an injury, and is a big who historically take a little longer to develop.
Everyone acts like the 9th pick of the draft should be able to immediately contribute and that’s just not the case. It’s all about the potential with Hendricks. He can be a VERY solid and versatile player in the modern NBA

I’m dying to see him get some real nba minutes but also assume there is a reason the FO and coaching staff are holding off on playing him.
Keep in my they know him the best even more than beat reporters. Some reasons that pop in my head are injury worries, and seeing him in practice against the started may have them hesitant to pull him up yet.

Can’t stand the fans that act like they know how to develop 20 year old rookies better than people that have done it for their job for years..
We literally have one of the best front offices in the league and have been known for years as one of the best player developmental teams. Gotta have some faith.

Some bum in r/nba was talking about how Taylor’s a bust cuz he isn’t getting playing time in the NBA. I’d rather prefer he spend a couple weeks in the G-league to develop.
Now if we are post All Star break and he’s still in the G-league I may be a little worried but right now he’s where he needs to be
