Hendricks is entering his third year in the NBA, coming off a fractured right fibula and dislocated right ankle that limited him to the first three regular-season games (all starts) of the 2024-25 campaign. The No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft spent his rookie campaign bouncing between the G League and the parent club, averaging 7.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals in 21.4 minutes per game over 40 regular-season appearances. However, he started his last 23 outings in 2023-24, during which he averaged 9.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals while shooting 40.4 percent from beyond the arc across 26.3 minutes per game. Following his serious injury, Hendricks' role remains unclear on a rebuilding Jazz squad. Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler should continue to start in the frontcourt. The team also drafted Rutgers standout Ace Bailey with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2025 Draft, and he should see significant playing time for the squad. Additionally, Cody Williams, Kyle Filipowski, Jusuf Nurkic and Georges Niang are all candidates to receive meaningful minutes in the frontcourt. Hendricks is a risky pick in fantasy drafts, but he does have considerable upside in the later rounds, especially if the Jazz continue to struggle and sit key players down the stretch.
