I can’t imagine a better young 1-2 punch at PG and SG than Henderson and Green but the price is probably way too high.
I mean Charlotte can still get Miller or Whitmore at 4. #4/#20/2024 Brooklyn pick and KMJ is fair for both parties.
I think that's a fair offer but I'm wondering how many other teams that might beat that offer or overpay.
If it wasn’t for a generational Wemby, he obviously would be arguably the top pick along with Miller. Looks like he did just fine making himself a sure fire top pick. I couldn’t careless if he didn’t score 30 a night in a pick up game league. Some Players dominate college every year and in the end aren’t even nba caliber players. That’s nothing new. It was a waste of his time. Nix is absolute trash. Who tf cares about him
I just don’t think you can go from middling against G-league guards to bullying NBA guards. Top-notch prospect for sure. But may be years away. It will be surprising if he pops right away.
Recent highly-lauded, top-5 guard prospects have a good track record of being starting-caliber right away. Rookie season stats: Ja Morant - 17.8 points, 7.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 47/33/77 shooting Cade Cunningham - 17.4 points, 6.0 assists, 6.2 rebounds, 41/31/84 shooting Jalen Green - 17.3 points, 2.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 42/34/79 shooting Jaden Ivey - 16.3 points, 5.2 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 41/34/74 shooting Anthony Edwards - 19.3 points, 2.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 41/33/77 shooting LaMelo Ball - 15.7 points, 6.1 assists, 5.9 rebounds, 43/35/75 shooting In my view, Scoot is better than all of these guys were as prospects except maybe Ja and Ant (very close between those three if you just look at their tape as pre-draft prospects). Also, Scoot wasn't middling in the G-League, he was excellent for his age, especially when he decided to turn it on. He was dinged up with random injuries and didn't really have much to play for this season since his draft stock was already pretty much putting him as a top 3 lock. But, when healthy and in locked-in mode, nobody could stop him and he became utterly dominant. You have to actually watch the games to see what I'm talking about. Two years in the G-League is about as good of preparation for stepping right into the NBA as it gets, btw. He's way more prepared than Jalen was, for example, since Jalen only played in a dozen games or whatever it was before getting drafted.
If his standing reach is equal to that of somebody who is 6-7, and he's built like a tank why would you obsess over his height? If Jalen Green had Scoot Henderson's body he'd probably make a lot more shots underneath despite being 1-2 inches shorter
I dunno, man. Kevin Pelton’s secret stat formula that ID-ed Sengun and Tari Eason as top prospects has Henderson at #33. He’s not even the best player on his team, Lenard Miller is. I see the potential with Scoot and he may turn out a top player, but the risks is very very high.
