Since being selected third overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, Portland Trail Blazers point guard Scoot Henderson has been a subject of heated discussion. A semi-disastrous rookie season has given way to a sophomore year in which Henderson has improved radically in shooting percentage, taken his turnovers down slightly, and started to get teammates involved in the offense. 2025 Scoot is different than the 2023 version by a long shot.
We still don’t know how far Henderson will climb. He’s not starting yet. His contributions are still up and down. We just know he’s getting better and the situation seems far less hopeless right now than it did at the end of last season.
