John Henson will start 45+ games this Season
He’s just been too good this preseason and last year not to find a way into the starting lineup. It’s hard to figure out where he is going to fill in, but he is going to find his opportunity. Henson has worked hard this summer to improve the short comings of his game.
What’s stopping him from starting is Jabari Parker, who will begin the season in the starting lineup at power forward. Also standing in the way is veteran Ersan Ilyasova, who has seemed to earned a way in the rotation with head coach Jason Kidd.
Eventually, something is going to happen where Kidd realizing it’s worth having Henson and Sanders on the floor to protect the rim. Whether it’s that Parker isn’t working out defensively at power forward, or that the Bucks make a trade that gives Henson a chance to start.
Either way he is going to get some major playing time.
I’m looking forward to seeing him, Sanders and Giannis Antetokounmpo on the floor at the same time.
