Taylor Hendricks

[jtGoldenKnights]

After the draft lotter SBNation has Taylor going to the Magic at #6. If this happens I'm certainly happy he left early.

I saw one that had him going to Mavs. That would probably be better. Doncic drawing defenders and Hendricks getting open 3s.

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

I guess they see some amazing potential for the little time he spent at UCF. It would be cool to have him in town~!

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Is he at combine?

This could be a huge boom to basketball recruiting. A lottery pick is Something we’ve never been able to claim. Showing kids they too could be a lottery pick if they play at UCF should bring in talent like we’ve never seen before.

The issue with that is he played 1 year on a sub par performing team. Less that UCF or the coaching staff made him a lottery pick, more he was going to be a lottery pick where ever he went.

NBA lottery picks from all kinds of colleges, high schools, international locations.

It's obviously not bad press, but if this is to have impact he needs to be referring to UCF every chance he gets for the next few years.

Day One. The Dawkins/MBB Gaslight Tour Begins Now…😭

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

How good is his brother? Anything close?

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

How good is his brother? Anything close?

Nope. He redshirted.

 

[PositYourself]

I've seen Hendricks as high as 5 and as low as 19 recently.


Where will he be picked in your mind?


....it ain't often we UCFers can get excited about the NBA Draft - June 22nd at 7pm EST on ESPN

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Most often I see to Mavs at 10 I think.

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

Nope. He redshirted.

last year he redshirted or this year?

 

[Willie Knightime]

Most often I see to Mavs at 10 I think.

I'm hoping he stays in Orlando!

 

[Poolside Knight]

Keep Hendricks away from the Orlando Tragic

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

last year he redshirted or this year?

Last year. Because he wasn’t ready to even be a role player. Maybe he’ll get better.

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

Yes! That would be awesome if it just clicked!

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

Jazz?

 

[PositYourself]

Woohoo! #9 to the Jazz!

Great to see!

 

[Retnuhrace]

Would’ve been great to see him with the hometown team. But Utah is a better run organization that should give him a better chance at long term success. Too bad he has to live in Utah though.

 

[SkiDog291]

I was hoping for the Magic, but what do you expect from the Magic. Their leadership is incompetent which is evident on their record for the past 12 yrs, one .500+ season since 2012. Nobody I know actually attends their games and they may as well move to a different city. I could care less.

One thing I can guarantee, if they would have drafted Taylor is the amount of ticket sales would have increased due to the number of UCF alum. A friend of mine and I were planning to buy a season ticket share if they would have picked up Taylor. The Magic lost out on a tremendous amount of future season tickets. You can't fix stupid.

I think if Dawkins would have had him more aggressive offensively, or he had more time to develop that, maybe the Magic would have picked him. He's got the shot, got the defense, but ball handling and offensive aggressiveness needs work...IMHO

Totally! We would ALL go see him! Knight Nation!

Would there be a substantial amount of UCF alum that would show up for magic game because of Hendricks that didn't show up for UCF while Hendricks played?

Even in Hendricks last few games when everyone knew he would be gone, attendance was at 5k which includes a lot of people that either didn't have to pay or paid a lot less than going to a Magic game.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

I think they should have signed Tacko. He has appeal outside of UCF fans. Celtic fans cheered for him. They just had a good squad. The Magic don’t.

 

[Poolside Knight]

I think the Mavs would have been the best landing spot

OMG TOTALLY! They'd win some damn games with TACKO!

People in Orlando would definitely pay more interest in the team. No different than following the Bills or other NFL teams with UCF stars.

I'm sure there will be some that still think it was in his best interest to come back and play for another season.

 

[Central Floridave]

I was one of those. I rescind my idea he should come back.

Playing with his brother for one year ain't worth 5.5 million. ;p

 

[Asphalt.Jungle]

not just $5.5m, he gets $25.35m no matter what happens basketball wise the next 4 years.

 

[Oldest Man]

No...but he could get that much if the team picks up the option years. The initial contract guarantees 2 years then there's 2 team option years.

Tacko on Bucks for Summer League.

No, but was in the best interest of UCF. Either way, great future for him.
