No. 7 Taylor Hendricks

Hendricks was a player who was not known for having a knock down jump shot when he came into the NCAA. However, he worked hard to improve his three-point shot and ended the season shooting 39.4% from beyond the arc on impressive volume.

He is an incredibly versatile forward on both ends of the floor, having the size to play both forward positions and quickness to guard just about any player. While he may not be the best in the world at creating shots for others, he is far better than other players at his position within the draft.

As of right now, he looks like he would max out as a high-level second option in the NBA. His shot creation is very undeveloped. That needs to be his first focus in development if he wants to grow into stardom.

Taylor Hendricks could be great, but he will likely need a quality point guard in the first few years of his career in order to properly develop. The Washington Wizards do not have that and could hinder his growth as a player.
