Taylor Hendricks

Taylor Hendricks is a long, switchable forward with the tools of a modern two-way big. The ninth overall pick in 2023 — the first first-round selection in UCF program history — he showed rim-protecting and floor-spacing flashes for the Utah Jazz before a February 2026 trade sent him to the Memphis Grizzlies, where a larger role suited him: 10.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and better than a steal and near a block a game across 26 appearances. At 6-foot-9 with length and mobility, Hendricks profiles as the kind of versatile combo forward who can defend multiple positions and stretch the floor — a promising piece quietly forcing his way into Memphis' future.
