Utah Jazz's first pick in the 2023 NBA draft has made some progress.
basketball, and it feels like a good time to go back and grade each Jazzman’s season. While nobody looks at a 51-loss season as some grand success, several players had promising individual campaigns, gave us flashes of a promising future, or some combination of both. Next up on our list is Jazz rookie forward Taylor Hendricks .
More importantly, Taylor was tasked with guarding the opposing team's best player night in and night out, a role we saw Ochai Agbaji taking on a year ago. Overall, I thought Taylor had enough positive moments to make you feel good about his ability to do this going forward. He’s tall, he has a plus wingspan, he moves his feet, and he puts forth a ton of effort on that end of the floor.
Now, offensively, it’s a little bit cloudier what Hendricks will become. We know he’s a good shooter, evidenced by his 37.9% clip from deep in the NBA & 35.6% in the G-League. This provides value by having a guy you must respect on the perimeter.
