He is an interesting player born in West Virginia and played his college ball in Charlotte. He looks like a legit 6'4" that he is listed at and has a high steal rate which is something he has done at every level. He is a legit PG who turned 28 this year and currently piling up assists in Europe. The Wolves really seem to like playmaking guards. If they were able to land him I would guess Bolmoro would stay in Europe another year unless there were a lot of moves made. I wonder what kind of offer the Wolves would need to make to get him.
If you like guys that played multiple sports check out what he did in HS as a 2 sport star in football and basketball.

Great info, Monster. Thanks. I just watched a bunch of Henry highlights. He reminds me a bit of DLO - not very fast, but good size for a PG and very crafty with the ball. He seems more intense than DLO, but clearly not as talented. He's an intriguing player, but there would have to be some significant roster changes for him to make sense on this team. Call me crazy, but I think we have enough guards on our roster at the moment. :)

Scout to me on Henry: "His game may be better suited for NBA than Europe. Has developed into 1 of the best backcourt defenders in Europe, will translate well to NBA. Led Euroleague in steals."
#Timberwolves in on Henry, per @chemadelucas. Played for Rosas/Hou. '15 Summer League.
Per Doogie
Doogie is also mentioned shooting is his weakness

Well if he could defend pass AND shoot...
Looking at his shooting percentages the last few seasons of international play I certainly wouldn't say shooting is a strength but the percentages aren't bad either. Saying he can't shoot I think might be going to far although I'm sure you were partly joking. His shot in the video I see looks ok. It looks like he has improved in that area since college.
Again my question is where does he fit? I can see paths to open up playing time for him but is he going to agree to an NBA deal that is based on like 1-2 other guys getting dealt...not to mention the possibility of them drafting another guard?

I would be shocked if Jmac is back next year. This guy could be our 3rd PG.
