Taylor Hendricks Drafted With The No. 9 Pick
1 year agoThe Utah Jazz drafted forward Taylor Hendricks out of UCF with the ninth pick in the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday. The 19-year-old freshman checks in with averages of 15.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.7 blocks per game while shooting 47.8% from the floor and 39.4% from deep. He was voted into the 2022-23 All-AAC team as well as the All-Freshman team. The Jazz were a surprisingly decent team this past season when they were trying to tank. Hendricks will likely join a big starting frontcourt with Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler.
