Taylor Hendricks has seen the biggest rise during the last eight months of any prospect in this year’s draft. And he may not be done yet.
Entering the 2023 college basketball season, the Fort Lauderdale-native was the highest-rated prospect in UCF history. That included plenty of expectations for the incoming freshman.
Yet none of which included the NBA Draft the following summer. UCF has never had a first-round pick at the school.
But as the season went on, it was apparent Hendricks has what it takes to play in the league and he quickly began to rise in early draft boards.
