Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson is coming into the NBA with very high expectations from outsiders, but he is arguably his harshest critic and the one who expects the most.
“My goal, obviously, is to win Rookie of the Year,” Henderson said. “And I will win Rookie of the Year.”
It’s a bold statement from Henderson, but he exudes the right amount of confidence rather than cockiness when saying that.
It’s going to be a challenge for Henderson to win Rookie of the Year with No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama tabbed as the favorite to win the award.
