My limitations in selecting in the draft are that I have not seen everyone at length. This I know about John henson–he’s not Anthony Davis but he is an excellent shot blocker. Obviously, he needs to out on some muscle but he has 3 solid years of experience an at least you know what you are getting. Here is NBS draft.net analysis.
After 2 seasons being an impact player for UNC with his length and athleticism, Henson declared after improving steadily each season he was in college…He is a great shot-blocker and rebounder, who can get you easy buckets off garbage plays too…His strength will always be a question, and his unorthodox style of play offensively surely needs polish…But a team looking for a shot-blocking presence who provides energy and doesn’t get in the way offensively will look at Henson…Still has upside despite spending 3 seasons in college…
As for Ross, the first time I saw him at Montrose, I was amazed. he has the entire game. He is Melo-like. If he had played at Maryland or any East Coast school everyone would be more familiar. It’s funny that everyone thought his buddy Terrence Jones (Kentucky) was the sure fired star but Ross is projected higher. The day he withdrew his commitment to Maryland, I was sick and Stu Vetter was shocked. Two months later he left Montrose during the school year. So there is a mystery. But no mystery as for his basketball acumen. I would take a chance. Somebody will for sure.

i think the zards should trade out of their 3rd pick but if they keep it i as well like ross or harrison barnes. the wiz need some outside shooting from the wing and both ross and barns can shoot it from the 3 point line. hensen is a project and a bad team picking third need to get someone who can step in and play and be productive.
