Am I wrong here, or does Henry just not seem like a fit for the Bucks? I would be really disappointed if they added Henry as I don't feel like he fits a need for us at all.

I agree given the current makeup of the team. I think Henry will be a good outside shooter for a big man, which is much coveted in the NBA, he needs to be paired with a really good defensive center. He would be nice along side Anthony Davis, but NO will likely go for Dunn or Hield.Originally Posted by MKE_GoldenEagleFan
Not at all. The last thing the Bucks need is another 4 who can't guard or hit threes.
The comparison to Keith Van Horn in the video where he is training with Jimmy Butler, made me cringe. I worry about Henry's lateral quickness and ability to defend in the NBA. On the other hand, the skills he has offensively at 6'11", and at such a young age, is impressive.
With the NBA and direction it is going, I would love Hield or Valentine in this draft....but Hield should be off the board and Valentine seems to be falling on draft boards. The assumption that 1-and-done players have more potential than 3 or 4 year players gets a bit annoying. Plenty of teams get burned betting on the potential of a 1-and-done.
One thing I have always said about bigger guys in the NBA is look at their legs - do they have big heavy legs or do they have long thin legs? Dwight Howard has a huge upper body, but long thin legs. Guys with heavy legs, guys like McIlvaine have thick legs and don't last long. Henry's legs are huge, but not long & thin either.

The Bucks need shooters and defense... right now Henry doesn't bring either. Sure he is going to improve his shooting and will be good for a big man, but the Bucks need their big guy to be a rim defender.

Heard a Pat Riley quote, saying that the NBA has become a "make or miss league." Defense will always be important, but you can't be really good without shooters that can score in a multitude of ways: 3-pointer, midrange and off-the-dribble. Even the 2 cornerstones for the Bucks, Giannis and Jabari, are far from being consistent perimeter shooters.
