On the day Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs come to town, Portland Trail Blazers fans are being reminded that their own rookie lottery pick, Scoot Henderson, still has a desire to hoist the NBA Rookie of the Year trophy. Colin Ward-Henniger of CBS Sports quoted the young point guard to that effect in an article praising him for his progress so far this season.
Writing from the Bay Area, Ward-Henniger caught up to Henderson after a game last weekend against the Golden State Warriors:
“Trying to get Rookie of the Year, that’s still my goal,” Henderson told CBS Sports after the Blazers’ 126-106 loss to the Warriors on Saturday.
