That's a result of just jacking it up. Doesn't mean he's a star basketball player. And I didn't say he was bad, I just don't think he's a great basketball player. If he's such a good basketball player, where is he projected to go in the upcoming draft?
You're acting as if every great college basketball player gets drafted. Henderson is a far better college basketball player than Archie Goodwin, but Goodwin will still go in the lottery because of his athleticism/measurables.

Henderson is a 6'2" SG. That's the main reason he'll never be on any draft boards. Chris Lofton was a GREAT college player, but like Henderson, Lofton didn't have the size to play SG in the NBA (and Lofton was way better than Henderson).

I understand what you're saying but it still stands, he's a college player but not exceptional. He's not afraid to shoot and I give him credit for that, but that's how he gets his numbers. I would bet a lot of college players would score as many points if they put it up at his rate. As for his height:

Leandro Barbosa 6'3"
Jason Terry 6'2"
Willie Green 6'2"
Daniel Gibson 6'2"
Eric Gordon 6'3"

That's just a quick glance but you can play in the NBA as a 6'2" SG IF you're really that good. Oh, and I'd take Goodwin 10 times out of 10 on my college team over Henderson. Kid is just a freshman.
