After a long wait that felt far, far longer than it really was, Scoot Henderson will head to Rip City as the No. 3 overall pick in perhaps the most important Portland Trail Blazers draft choice in franchise history.
It’s important to note that none of what happens tonight is official until opening night on Oct. 24. There may be, and likely are, more moves to come from general manager Joe Cronin.
For now, though, Scoot will join Damian Lillard, Anfernee Simons, and Shaedon Sharpe to form one of the deepest, most talented and most athletic backcourts in the NBA.
