If you ask Scoot Henderson, he should be the number one overall pick.
“Yeah, I think I should go one,” Henderson told GQ Sports in an April interview. “I know I’m gonna go one.”
A 7-foot-5 unicorn named Victor Wembanyama may have something to say about that, but this pack leading mentality has been consistent from what we’ve seen from Henderson all season. When the two prospects faced off in October last year, it was Scoot who took down the French giant in the first of two matchups against the G-League Ignite and Metropolitans 92. From the jump, the point guard relentlessly attacked, and played with the intensity of an NBA playoff game, not a Las Vegas exhibition match.
