Highlights
- The Portland Trail Blazers have surrounded rookie point guard Scoot Henderson with new talent, which NBA writer Mark Medina believes will be beneficial for the 19-year-old's development and the franchise's rebuild.
- Despite Henderson's shooting struggles in his first two NBA games, there is optimism that he can improve and become a better shooter at a gradual pace, thanks to his athleticism, passing, court vision, and leadership skills.
- While it's too early to judge Henderson based on his shooting performance, he will need to work on his three-point shooting to reach his potential as a star player, especially when compared to former Blazers point guard Damian Lillard's shooting stats. However, there is confidence that Henderson can grow into his role as the starting point guard for the Blazers.
