2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hendricks spent his freshman season at Central Florida, where he was named to the AAC All-Freshman team, as well as Second Team All-AAC. A four-star recruit who arrived at UCF as the highest-ranked player in school history, Hendricks averaged 15.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.9 steals in 34 games as a freshman. He shot 47.8 percent from the field and 39.4 percent from three on 4.6 attempts per game. At 6-foot-9, Hendricks fits the mold of a modern NBA power forward who can also slide up and play center. His ability to both defend the rim and space the floor makes him a unique prospect. An excellent athlete with great length who effortlessly plays above the rim, Hendricks should be an above-average rebounder at the NBA level. He's also capable of handling the ball on the perimeter and initiating his own offense against certain matchups. We didn't get to see Hendricks in Summer League due to a hamstring injury, so we'll have to wait until preseason to get a look at how Utah is interested in utilizing him. Still, a path to sizeable minutes isn't guaranteed. In addition to Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler and Kelly Olynyk returning in the frontcourt, the Jazz added John Collins in the offseason, who figures to get roughly 30 minutes per game. As a result, Hendricks may be relegated to a reserve role, though it's possible he sees minutes in the mid-20s. As of now, he's a more interesting target in dynasty leagues than redraft formats.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Taylor Hendricks spent his freshman season at Central Florida, where he was named to the AAC All-Freshman team, as well as Second Team All-AAC. A four-star recruit who arrived at UCF as the highest-ranked player in school history, Hendricks averaged 15.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.9 steals in 34 games as a freshman. He shot 47.8 percent from the field and 39.4 percent from three on 4.6 attempts per game. In his collegiate debut against UNC Asheville on Nov. 7, Hendricks went for 23 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks in 39 minutes. In a win over Tulsa on Feb. 26, Hendricks posted a season-high 25 points to go with eight rebounds, two blocks, a steal and three three-pointers. At 6-foot-9, Hendricks fits the mold of a modern NBA power forward who can also slide up and play center. His ability to both defend the rim and space the floor makes him a unique prospect and arguably the top power forward in the 2023 NBA Draft class. An excellent athlete with great length who effortlessly plays above the rim, Hendricks should be an above-average rebounder at the NBA level. He's also capable of handling the ball on the perimeter and initiating his own offense against certain matchups. Hendricks figures to hear his name called at some point in the mid-to-late lottery, but his landing spot will ultimately determine his upside for 2023-24. Regardless of which team selects him, Hendricks will likely be viewed as a high-upside future piece, but in the right situation he could be an instant-impact player. Given his size, athleticism and two-way ability, down the road Hendricks could develop into a player with shades of Jaren Jackson, Onyeka Okongwu or John Collins.

Scores 16 points in season finale
FUtah Jazz
April 14, 2024
Hendricks racked up 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 41 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks finished just two points shy of tying his career-high mark in the final game of the regular season, and while the rookie benefited from an uptick in minutes over the final weeks of the campaign, he looked ready to handle a more prominent role in 2024-25.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ramping up
FUtah Jazz
February 26, 2024
Hendricks has logged back-to-back contests with a season-high 26 minutes of action, averaging 10.5 points and 6.0 rebounds on 52.9 percent shooting from the field.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks has yet to be incorporated into play calls on offense, spending the majority of his possessions stationed in the corners. That being said, he has shown the ability to punish closeouts and has been a tough-assignment taker for Utah, including fouling out while guarding Victor Wembanyama on Sunday. He could garner streaming credibility if his threes begin to fall, but he is currently in a 4-for-17 slump from deep.
