Jazz No. 9 draft pick Taylor Hendricks was one of AndyBLarsen's favorite prospects in the 2023 NBADraft. Why? He'll explain. TakeNote
is going to absolutely swallow people with their length. Markkanen proved to be a solid defender this year, albeit a little prone to blowbys. But with either Kessler or Hendricks ready to rotate over, those blowbys become less dangerous. And Hendricks opens the Jazz to playing a variety of schemes, too: I think Kessler needs to play drop defense to be most effective, but Hendricks can switch or high hedge in the NBA.
His screening is interesting. He’s not, right now, a good “set the screen, draw contact, get his guard open” screener in the traditional way, like a Karl Malone or a Rudy Gobert was. The Jazz will need to develop him on that. But he’s got the footwork on the slip screen, the pick and pop, and just even a fake run-through screen down — and those are some of Will Hardy’s favorite plays.
Hendricks also doesn’t really have the ability to create with the ball in his hands. He ran a few pick and rolls and tried driving in isolation last season. Sometimes, his length was overwhelming his AAC competition, and it worked out well. When the length wasn’t enough to get the easy dunk or layup, though, he struggled. If Jazz coaches want him to be a creator, they will have to work with him significantly; I just think it’s going to be a few years at minimum.
