Shelton Henderson — 6’6″, 240 lbs
Sophomore • 19 years old
Breaking down one of the most physical wings in college basketball and a potential ’27 first-round pick, Shelton Henderson.
The rising sophomore is a bully driving to the basket, dislodging defenders with ease. He’s built more like a tight end than a small forward.
Henderson converted 66% of his attempts at the rim, is an active rebounder (5 RPG), and someone who can defend his area.
He’ll need to improve his ball handling to become more multidimensional on the perimeter, as right now he’s prone to either a stationary shot or a straight-line drive. He should also work on his jumper, shooting only 25% from three and 57% from the foul line this past season.
Taking a look at a uniquely physical and aggressive wing player who possesses upside as he embarks on his sophomore season.
