Scoot Henderson is going to make his siblings proud
If not for Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson may have been the best prospect of the 2023 NBA Draft. He fell to No. 3 after the Charlotte Hornets nabbed Brandon Miller at No. 2. Miller’s fit alongside LaMelo Ball was probably the reason why they chose the former Alabama star.
Henderson, though, is expected to be a two-way superstar in the NBA. He will team up with Damian Lillard to try and lead the Portland Trail Blazers back to basketball relevance.
