Portland Trail Blazers rookie guard Scoot Henderson is ready to step up.
The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor spoke with Henderson shortly after his lone Summer League appearance against the Houston Rockets.
O’Connor began by asking about the hottest topic in Portland right now, Damian Lillard. Henderson was asked about how he would respond to Dame either leaving or staying.
O’Connor: Ultimately it’s making the best of the situation. If he happens to come back, it’s opportunities for you to grow off-ball.
Scoot: Exactly.
