- Joe Mullinax: Joe thinks Taylor Hendricks has done enough to make the roster but doesn't want him in the nightly rotation. He sees Hendricks as someone who can eat minutes when Post is out, Edey needs a night off, or Boozer is out. at 19:55
- DaMichael Cole: DeMichael agreed with Joe for when Stewart is healthy. If Stewart misses the season opener, he picks Taylor Hendricks as the 11th man. He likes Hendricks at his natural 4 for rim protection, next to Boozer with Post or Edey. He also mentioned Javon Small and Olivier-Maxence Prosper as possible options. at 21:20
- Joe Mullinax: Joe said that if Hendricks is the 11th man and Isaiah Stewart is obviously not getting cut, about three roster spots are left. Walter Clayton Jr., Micah Peavy and Kris Murray are among those competing. at 24:46

- DaMichael Cole: Cole says Taylor Hendricks has flashed and Kris Murray is playing for opportunity. He hopes to see Micah Peavy in practices this week. at 27:39
