Carter Hendricksen

INTRODUCTION: He achieved numerous records for his university: second scorer all time -surpassing the 1650 point mark- third in rebounder and first in games played. Also many individual awards that have seen him in the best A-Sun teams in the last three seasons but never won the Conference title and the possibility of playing in a postseason tournament despite his contribution to the cause of the Ospreys

PHYSICAL: Size makes him versatile and a credible option as a combo forward, with decent athleticism and footwork he has good mobility and is able to occupy spaces intelligently. He’s not very fast, in fast-break situations he’s more effective as a passer than running in the spaces. He holds contacts decently and has enough lift to make it a good rebound help

OFFENSIVE PHASE: Good versatility forward thanks to a combination of reads and shooting from beyond the arc which is the main danger for every opposing defense (38.7% out of 6 attempts per game) being excellent as a spot-up and out of the screens but can also take it from a dribble or without rhythm, in confirmation of the soft hand the averages from the free throw also come in support (85% in the last two years). He is able to hit the close-out and go to the basket but is not always able to compensate his not excellent physicality. Good facilitator both from the perimeter and when he is involved in short rolls, he must pay more attention to the quality of the pass and his handling skills which lead him to some possession too many which limits the assist/turnover ratio (+1.2)

DEFENSIVE PHASE: In his own half he can suffer physically stronger opponents who can get close to the glass, he has good mobility which allows him to hold up on the perimeter when he changes with point-guards. Good elevation that allows him to grabbed rebounds (6.2 per match) but he doesn’t have rim protector skills and tends not to have the right timing for doubling or playing advances

IMPROVED AREAS: He doesn’t seem to have the energy necessary to always put his body in, he avoids contact making a game that could have more dimensions too perimeter. If he becomes more aggressive in defense and improves the quality of his passes, he has a good margin of growth that could lead him to play European competitions in some good level stage
