2010 FBA Draft Prospect - Kenny Henderson
sketch 17/100
This one is for the incomparable
slyknuxdragon, whom I got the chance to hang out with about a week ago on my trip over to CA!
We also got to play some b-ball, which was super fun! Tiny Tiger vs. The Realist! Though I won't tell you who won... (after all, he's got his projected position in the draft to protect ..... )

Kenny may have a forward's body, but he plays more like a guard. He's fast and agile enough to keep up with (and get past) most 2 guards and a few point guards. He has excellent ball handling and passing abilities for his size and is more than capable of getting his own shot.
His passing and ball handling skills really set him above most forwards, as he could easily perform point guard duties, maybe even better than many point guards. He is a good floor leader and can read defenses very well, giving him the ability to find the open man. He even thrives on double teams and uses them to his advantage. He's got the pick and roll down, operating as the pick-setter or the ball-handler, which adds tons of options to the coach's playbook.
Kenny also is an above average dunker, though he is a pretty streaky rebounder. His numbers are good, but he is inconsistent on the glass, so a bigger man might be able to keep him away from the boards. However, he will still use his speed and basketball IQ to figure out where to best position himself for the rebound. He's very useful in a fast pace offense as well, and will play the role of the dunker or the distributor on a well placed alley-oop.
As far as defense goes, he is decent, though not spectacular. He's an average one-on-one defender, but his length greatly helps against guards on the perimeter, as his speed does allow him to keep up with them. He reads opponents well and doesn't fall for many fakes. He tends to get a few blocks by either making his opponent think he isn't going to jump at their shot and then launching up to swat down their shot, and by chasing down players who think they're about to get an easy lay-up on the fast break, swatting their attempts into the stands. He also plays passing lanes well and does get a good number of steals that way. He's not particularly meaty, so guarding bulky power forwards in the post may pose a problem for him.
Kenny also has a reliable mid-range jumper and is 80% free throw shooter. He's not reliable from 3pt range but is improving slowly. Not much of a post game either, preferring to face the basket than back down, though his up and under move is quite useful. He tends to take silly chances on D and sometimes forgets about the backdoor cutter, but will easily adjust and improve in that category as well as others with some good, direct coaching.

Thank you! It makes me feel good that you like the series, even though it's basketball and I know that's an interest for only a tiny sliver of the fandom, heh.
You'd have to ask
slyknuxdragon about the nickname. He's had it since before I became aware of the character. ^^

The Red looks Great on him. Yes i know i know, it's the team color shirt he doesn't have a choice. But still, it looks Great!
And i'm really loving this particular picture, I dunno if it's cause I got to meet him, and he's a really awesome person, or the fact the picture kicks some serious ass...hmm or maybe that it's Both! ^_^

Thanks hun! I actually saw a lot of red jerseys when I searched for their respective colleges to see what the jerseys looked like. Yet so far, I've touched on just about every color in the rainbow, hehe. ^^
Well Sly is an awesome person! Though admittedly, I think this sketch was one of my favorites, just due to the pose, the proportions, the character attributes, and all that. :)

First off, your shoes are looking TIGHT. I know those aren't easy, and some of your earlier efforts were a little janky, but these kicks look good.
Also, nice job on the dreads!! Man, I love dreadlocks. I just think they look so cool-- in RL and on cartoon raccoons. XD You made them look really sharp, JT. They've got a cool fatness to them here that makes them look weighty-- I can imagine how much they fling when the Realist is running up court.
And I can see that the ending ties of his mask are hanging out there, too-- heehee. Sort of a Rip Hamilton thing going there? I love it. Details like that may push the FBA away from being a hardcore realistic NBA-based project-- but hey, we're talking about walking, talking animals that play basketball here. I hope we never lose those added bits of style.
