John Henson - MIL - C

We have him with DNPs once Beasley and Teletovic are back.

Why is he proj for so few games? Accounting for random DNPs?

With so many players out there keeping up with them all must be mind boggling for you guys. Henson is a prime example. Since his nice little run there in early/mid December, he has been pathetic to say the least. His only claim to fame is blks, but in his last 8 games he is barely averaging 1 and that is going down by the day. However, you still have him averaging over 2 for the rest of the season while pulling down nearly 6 boards with a shooting % over .52. If he does that he is a very valuable player for me, but Monroe is sure making those projections seemingly harder to get.

He's set at 23 minutes a game for the week. I'm not sure how you're seeing 13mpg. Check again and if there's an issue send me a message

Weekly minute projections seem low. He's averaging 20,5 mpg and trending up over the last few weeks, but he's showing 13 mpg in the weekly projections. Thanks.

The FT improvement I think can't be understated. Bigs do improve upon their FT woes; look no further than Steven Adams who mainly came into this year as a punt play at FTs and now looks serviceable in that department. Granted no one's saying these guys are not prone to falling back to the depths of a punt build but simply stating 'he will do this because of x' without much empirical evidence from game film, recent patterns, etc. is somewhat ignorant.

@48285 - If you are so insistent on someone making their own decision then why are you on this site?

i'll make the decision, just crowdsourcing opinions.

12T 9 Cat, H2H. ROS- Up for Henson, Down for Nurk

Anyone see what happened with him tonight? He was rolling to a monster game, then Kidd sat him until the last two mins.

Has always had a high ceiling for blks, FG% and decent rebs but this FT% is unsustainable and his spot in the rotation is always in question with Jason Kidd at the helm. I would sell high if you have him. Has never shot over 60 FT% and is attempting around 4 a game lately. Risky player and even if he pans out he semi-punts a cat even with elite blocks

Is Henson or Monroe more likely to start ROS?

@Cchillpen... Well Kidd is a confirmed idiot already so anything is possible.

Regarding his minutes, the Bucks have won 4 in a row during his recent streak of good play. So, Kidd is an idiot if his minutes go down anytime soon.

Looking nice so far...but so much doubt with this 3 man rotation.

I dropped him on November the 26th. I can't believe this is happening!!!

Its about time for kidd to realize this is their best 5 man!

they're both super uncertain, i'd probably take the immediate return with henson. he might burn out and you might still get noel, or he keeps producing and you made the right choice anyway. noel's ROS very uncertain.

Add Henson drop Len?

Add Henson or Stash Noel?

I'll just add in that there is always a foreseeable reason for him to miss games at any random time, and that is his coach. At this point, he is is the starter, but he was always the starter three games ago until he was a DNP-CD the next game.

Grastuco -- I'm seeing all three games projected. Can you refresh the projections? If you're still seeing an issue, can you e-mail a link to the page to support@basketballmonster.com please?

Thanks it now says one game, but there's no foreseeable reason for him to miss any time this week. Schedule is for three games.

Grastuco -- Thanks for the heads up. Fixed it. He should show up now.

On Projection page, he's showing as no games in this week. HELP!

That's true about his defense, he is a poor defender, but good shot blocker. I find it extremely tough to trust what Kidd will do. The guy went from DNP-Cd to playing 28 minutes and nothing Kidd says can be trusted.

Henson simply isn't a very good or consistent player...period. Some assume he is good on defense because he gets blocks, but he's not. His offensive game isn't really any better. There are reasons he has never been able to carve out a consistent role, and I don't see him doing so whether Monroe is there or not.

Henson has always been able to put up solid production when given minutes, look at his sophomore campaign for example. If Kidd ever settles on a rotation or if Monroe gets traded (both big ifs) I see him being very rosterable. That said, I'd probably hold Jones over him at this stage.

Worth dropping Terrence Jones for Henson?

No injury, just Kidd's rotations, goes from starter to DNP-CD back to starter

Just inconsistent rotations

Did he miss the last 2 games due to an injury? Suddenly came back and played close to 30 minutes in this one.

Lots of interest on Greg Monroe. I foresee that he'll be off soon, making Henson a decent stash.

I dont think him starting changes all that much, Kidd is going to continue playing all three guys. Henson has been a horrendous -22 on/off this season, while both Plumlee and Monroe have been positive and it's likely all three guys play between 15-22 minutes. I think Henson remains a blocks specialist

i actually prefer him playing more mins in the 2nd unit vs his 18-20 as a starter.

I think there's definitely potential hear, he's been a good per minute guy in seasons past, and now kidd said he's locked in as the starter going forward

Worth rostering 8-cat (12 team) roto?
