Faller: Taylor Hendricks

Taylor Hendricks had an ok showing highlighted by a 23-point, 9-rebound game on 9/10 shooting against the Raptors, but averaged only 10.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in Las Vegas. That stat line is solid, but in context is disappointing.

Hendricks was a top-10 pick in last year's draft, and while he's only 20 years old, you would expect him to take a step forward after a year in the league and playing against summer league competition. If he was fighting for a roster spot, it was a good performance, but for a player of his caliber, you would hope to see more.
