Gerald Henderson scored 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting (including a three) with six rebounds, three assists and a steal in Friday's easy win over the Bucks.
Henderson and Kemba Walker (3-of-10 FGs) have struggled to make shots with Al Jefferson dominating the offense, so it's good to see at least one of them do well tonight. Henderson has been a low-end value over the last week or two in standard leagues, but given the chance this is a feeling out period for the Bobcats owners should cut him a bit more slack than normal.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson scored 16 points on 5-of-15 shooting (2-of-2 3PTs, 4-of-4 FTs) with eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in Monday's loss.

Henderson and Co. were not encumbered by Al Jefferson's volume down low, as the big man missed yet another game, but he and Kemba Walker (3-of-14 FGs) sure aren't doing much to demand touches when Jefferson gets back. Henderson has played well enough to be in some 12-14 team lineups over the past two weeks, but his 35.9 percent shooting on the year has destroyed his overall value.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker combined to hit 6-of-19 shots in the Bobcats' 103-94 loss to the Hawks.

Henderson finished with 11 points on 3-of-8 shooting, one rebound and three assists, and Walker hit just 3-of-11 shots for 12 points, two rebounds, three assists and one steal. The concern here is that Al Jefferson stagnates the Bobcats' offense, but we're going to wait for a few games before declaring this a trend. Struggling to get assimilated in the first game back for Big Al was to be expected.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson kept things moving for his owners in the Bobcats' 101-91 loss to the Knicks on Friday, scoring 18 points on 7-of-18 shooting with nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes.

Henderson's game doesn't exactly pair up with that of Al Jefferson (ankle), who could be returning at any time, but that shouldn't put owners into anything but a sell-high mode. Henderson will continue to play a significant role for the Bobcats all season, profiling as a late-round as deficient peripherals depress his value. Kemba Walker scored 25 points on 8-of-22 shooting with five assists and a perfect 8-for-8 mark from the stripe.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson hit 13-of-17 shots for a season-high 23 points to go along with three rebounds, four assists and two steals in Wednesday's win.

He had 18 points and eight boards on Tuesday and it looks like his early rough start isn't going to be a permanent predicament. If he was dropped in your league, think about grabbing him.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson finally broke out of a season-long slump on Tuesday by hitting 5-of-13 shots and a 3-pointer for 18 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in a win over the Knicks.

We've all been wondering where his game has been and while his shooting wasn't great, the production was. Hopefully this is a sign of better things to come for Henderson.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson hit just 2-of-10 shots for 10 points, three rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes against the Cavs on Friday.

Henderson saved his night with a 6-of-8 mark from the foul line and owners should probably just chalk this up to early season rust and move on. The real issue will be how Al Jefferson's return impacts him, which needless to say is a bit disconcerting since he's already struggling without Jefferson around.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson shot 7-of-13 from the field for 19 points with three boards, five assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes on Thursday.

He had three consecutive 3-of-10 shooting performance before this game, so it was nice to see him knock down some shots. Henderson is expected to be a key scorer for the Bobcats and his 18.9 points per game after the break went a little unnoticed. He won't hit many threes, but the points and steals with good percentages should be there.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson made 1-of-9 field goals vs. the Bucks on Saturday, finishing with four points in 28 minutes.

If that wasn't bleak enough, he had only one rebound without any assists, steals or blocks. This game can be thrown out the window for evaluation purposes, however, and Henderson's averages after the All-Star break last year give a more realistic baseline -- 18.9 points, 0.4 threes, 4.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 steals per game.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Head coach Steve Clifford said that Gerald Henderson can be a "priority scorer" and could make "another big jump" this season.

The Bobcats somehow were able to bring Hendo back at the inexpensive price of $18 million over three years. Henderson was great in the second half of last season, scoring 18.9 points per game in that span and should provide much of the scoring punch with Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson this year. If he can make more 3-pointers, he'll have a nice ceiling in fantasy leagues.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson expects to have more open perimeter shots this season, and he's working hard to improve as a 3-point shooter.

Henderson shot 33.0 percent from downtown last year, easily a career-high, and he's excited about the arrival of Cody Zeller and Al Jefferson. "I think with more attention on guys down low it frees up the perimeter a bunch," he said. "With Al, teams are going to have to double team him so you have more chances for open shots." Henderson has already met with coach Steve Clifford four times, and he'll take a leadership role this season as the Bobcats' captain and longest-tenured player.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Updating a previous item, Gerald Henderson's contract allows him to terminate the deal after the 2014-15 season.

He also reportedly took less money to stay with the team, which explains some of the reason why the contract looks to be so cheap at $18 million. Comparatively speaking, it's one of the best contracts of the offseason and Hendo's 18.9 points per game after the All-Star break ranked 20th in the NBA. The 25-year-old guard should have some nice production even with the Bobcats getting a little better.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal with the Bobcats on Friday.

Considering Timofey Mozgov got a three-year, $14 million deal earlier today, this looks like a winner for Charlotte. Of course, that Mozgov deal might be the worst contract of the offseason. Henderson had himself a strong second half, averaging 18.9 points, 4.0 boards and 1.0 steals on 46.3 percent shooting in 35.9 minutes. He should have a similar role as far as minutes go, but Al Jefferson should command the ball, which suggests Hendo's 12.6 shots per game will go down.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Gerald Henderson and the Bobcats are still in discussions about him returning to the team, but aren't close to a contract.

The sides don't appear to be close on a money agreement, which means this could go either way. It's hard to imagine the Bobcats not eventually working out a deal with Henderson, but stranger things have happened in the house that Jordan built.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - Bobcats

Talks between the Bobcats and Gerald Henderson's reps had a "positive tone," according to beat writer Rick Bonnell.

The Bobcats' first priority is to re-sign the restricted free agent and any mention of positivity is a good thing. However, they also have reportedly engaged other teams in trade talks. It's unclear how much Henderson is looking for, but it's clearly higher than the Bobcats are currently willing to offer up despite Henderson's strong finish last season.
