[...] According to Brew Hoop, the Bucks had Richard Hendrix in for a workout along with some other second round potentials. As you probably know, I have been all over Hendrix since he first declared for the draft. [...]

Good read. I’ve watched Richard Hendrix in High School (played in a Christmas tournament at my high school every year) and also in college at Alabama. The guy is a beast and one of the best post players ever at UA.

He can hold his own down low and is strong enough. In high school he would take the ball like a point guard and jack threes up and make them. Our coaching staff ruined his shooting touch. He made everything, including free throws. The guy can shoot because I’ve seen it and could easily play in a role just like David West does.

Hendrix is a good call.
Speights would be a gamble. A little raw? He’s a lot raw

Nice article. I remember Hendrix from the McDonald’s game but had lost track of his performance in college. It would be refreshing if the Bucks could cash in on an unheralded prospect.

Very interesting info. I think his real height will become a factor at the NBA level. If he’s less than 6′8″, as some contend, that will have a negative impact on when he’s picked.

Carlos Boozer may be the upside comparison for Hendrix, or Craig Smith-Timberwolves may also be a useful model. Coming out of college, Smith was considered by many to be too short, too heavy, and too slow; but he’s shown he can play pretty well in the NBA. He’s a little redundant with Minnesota. They’ve often paired him with Al Jefferson, with Jefferson playing the C – not Jefferson’s best position. If Minnesota acquires a real Center, Smith might be considered trade bait.
