Scoot Henderson likely has this season and this season only to prove why he deserves to be a starting point guard in the NBA. I believe in him, but there isn’t much expectation for him currently. One of the ways he can be loved in Portland is by helping other young prospects blossom such as Shaedon Sharpe. He also has Donovan Clingan. Making others look good is probably his easiest path to being highly valued. 10/7/2024
