Scoot plays so much better with Clingan on the court. When the blazers get rid of Ayton I think Scoot will take off. Ayton is so hard for him to play with
Agreed. I watch every game and there's been a bunch of passes Scoot's made to DA that DA just fumbled. He wasn't stellar last night, but some good looks, 10 assists, and stuff that's fixable
I like scoot, and im not a blazers fan really but you really are watching him grow on the court in real time. Seems like he will do great in the coming seasons
As a blazers fan I’m not panicking, but I am worried a bit, if we trade some of our guys like Simons and Ayton and in the second half scoot doesn’t perform better than I’d start to panic
I think the Blazers did screw up that pick, but he was the consensus top 3 guy so you can't really blame them. If the Blazers are smart they'd be tanking this year and getting as many draft picks for the future and try to get a Flagg or Ace to build around alone with Sharpe and Clingan because I doubt Scoot will be the guy they expect him to
@ I agree they should tank because if you add one of either coop or Ace to this core we could be pretty legit, but I don’t agree with people saying to just give up on Scoot, I don’t think he has superstar potential anymore like he had coming into the draft but he could still be a solid 16 and 8 kind of PG
As an NFL fan, its always so funny hearing NBA fans pressing the panic button over 20 year olds. In the nfl if a guy is 23 and still struggling he’s a young player with time to improve
@@austinparks997 Right this comment is complete BS, NFL and fans have been pressing the panic button and bashing young QB that's not performing well for decades smh
How many QBs within their Rookie deals do you have to watch the NFL and fanbase give up on in the last two decades to believe this nonsense bruh? You ain't no NFL fan Lol
In the Game yesterday he pretty much showed all his strenghts and his struggles. His Court Vision is very Food and he has a very good feeling of how to Navigate through the Opposite Defense and search for the Right Play. He has often shown he can be a good playmaker. The thing he Lacks is Shot creation. His 6 points were him getting the Ball After a cut and then finishes with the Layup. He has to gain more conficende attacking by himself, he had 0 Ft attempts which Shows he still doesnt attack enough. He tries to make the right Play everytime and thats a good thing, he just needs a Bit more confidence in himself and aggressivness but im sure he will be Fine 😌
I've never seen a team hand over the reigns so much to a rookie as they did Scoot last year. he was so bad in so many games. i remember one where he literally took 30 shots and missed most of them. one of the craziest stat lines i've seen. i get they were in a rebuilding phase but damn, i'd be so pissed if i were another player on the team just watching this rookie chuck away games. looks like they're not letting him do that this year tho. not yet at least.
Like most rookie point guards he improved over the season. Trae Young looked like shit the first month or so he started as well. Scoot's assists skyrocketed the last month or so of the season up to around 10 per game. This was without Simons, Sharpe and Grant playing at all, which is amazing because other than Ayton I don't think Portland had another decent scorer on the roster at that point.
Last year, Scoot had some good stats towards the end of the year. As a Blazer fan, I thought that these were heavily inflated by garbage time / meaningless games. I think he’s been quite a bit better this year than last year even though the numbers don’t show it. He still has a lot of warts and his game is messy. I think it is a bit early to panic too much though.
Great video! Definitely can't say I envision him being anything close to the multi-year all nba replacement for Lillard that so many of us expected at this point, but I have been very pleased with his development so far this year. Everything looks better to the eye test and the advanced numbers seem to back that up. I like that you pointed out the discrepancy between his shooting numbers on pull ups vs off the catch and shoot. It seems mainly like he's having trouble getting his feet squared when he pulls up, compared to how effortless and accurate the shot looks when he shoots off the catch. I don't mind a lot of his turnovers because he's cut down on the offensive fouls and driving into defenders and getting stripped and instead is trying out creative passes and lobs. The game will open up for him so much once defenders respect his shot a little bit more, because he's proved almost nightly that very few other players can keep up with him on the court once he gets moving.
He's developing slowly but surely. He's still young as hell and I love the path Chauncey Billups has him on development wise. Social media calls critics and fans are impatient as hell
I like the switch up because 18 months ago everyone and their mom was saying the hornets are dumb for taking miller over scoot and now it’s give scoot time and he still has promise etc. just come out and say it scoot so far looks like a bust, he never could shoot, he isn’t nba fast and he has a solid body but that hasn’t helped him be a better defender or much of anything that’s really impactful on the game.
I mean Miller is struggling this year so far.. And saying “Scoot doesn’t have NBA speed” is wild. He may be only second to Deaaron Fox in speed.. He’s definitely not a proven bust, he’s 20 years old learning the PG position. Who’s the last 20 year old PG we saw find tremendous success in the league? Magic Johnson and Luka are the only 2 I can think of.
Of those four cherry picked players Scoot Henderson has the lowest points per game, field goal percentage by a lot, 3-point percentage by a lot, lowest effective field-goal percentage by a really large amount and his box plus minus is nearly twice as bad as anybody else. You can manipulate stats to make it look like the guy's doing better than he's really doing. Also it seems as if turnovers isn't on this list and I would be very curious to see that because I'm going to guess that scoot is way ahead of them on that as well. I don't know their early numbers but scoot has gone from 3.4 last season 2 3.3 this season which is not really a step up at all. One other thing is this chart of the four players leaves out how many minutes per game they're playing. I'm going to guess that Scoot has probably played more minutes per game than the other three during their early careers though I don't know that as a fact. Scoot has been a pretty crappy NBA player and it's not because he hasn't had the reps because they've basically turned the team over to him in Portland. It's not too late to turn it around but I think this video does not give the true picture of how bad Scoot has been.😢
We don’t need him to be good yet, he can throw as many crazy passes and shoot as many threes as he wants. You’re acting like Portland is in the finals when we’re just trying to figure out what kind of player Scoot can be, and he’s shown he can be a great floor general.
in this modern game- athleticism is the least valuable attribute vs 20 years ago when it was the most . players were steadily drafted high on athletic potential alone. now it has to be said- its shooting and basketball IQ.
He's also not that athletic. If they wanted an athletic player both the Thompson twins are dramatically ahead of Scoot in that regard, but he was supposed to be like a young westbrook that is so dominant going to the rim and he's just not that. There's a reason he was never good in the G League
I have faith. I am a blazers fan, but I can see this kid on the court and hes such a gifted playmaker so early in his career. His shooting will come along with time, wether hes a mid range or can extend through the three point line. Whatever his shooting ability takes on, the blazers need to surround him and shaedon with guys who will make life easier, and I think theyre doing that.
i feel like a few years down the line, with the Blazers continuing to add young talent, Scoot can be a Collin Sexton for them. Someone that you can add in a lot of lineups and he will produce on both ends on the floor in any way shape or form. I’d imagine that Scoot, just like Sexton, would have the better footspeed and athleticism over his own teammates, which would allow his team to play at a faster pace. def can see him be a 18 and 8 type of guy
I do think he’ll become atleast an average shooter, could definitely be an elite playmaker and a good defender. I’ve noticed he does not play well next to Ayton. I’m not panicking but maybe slight worried. Him only being 20 is a huge relief, I’d like to see him play as a 6th man for the rest of the season if the vets don’t get shipped off.
That game where Scoot threw those wild passes was the same game where he got clocked in the head. Not exactly sure what happened but he was holding his face area for a few. They never showed a replay but Scoot came out after a couple plays and didn't play again. Made me wonder if he had a concussion or something.
He can't shoot. Lord knows why he was drafted so high. Drafting is simple 1. Shooting 2. Skill 3. Size 4. Defence don't understand why front offices get it so wrong.
@@thuggwaffle8825 LeBron has an EFG of 55% over 20 years. Skill leading stats in every facet of Basketball. Size 6ft 9 and can defend all 5 positions. What are you talking about. People on the internet just yap for the sake of yapping.
@@pyrosdestiny Oh you were talking about as a prospect though, not hind sight with a 20 year sample size 😆.. Lebron couldn’t shoot besides the occasional middy coming out of high school. And shooting is number 1 on your list lol
I really want Scoot to figure it out. He's only 20, Ignite did nothing for him, and he doesn't have a stellar veteran to teach him how to take the next step. That being said, this '25 draft class has PGs that Portland may be more interested in jumping on and I'm growing increasingly worried that Scoot won't show enough growth and Blazers trade him for a second pick, or a higher one this year.
He's gonna be fine. Tighten up the turnovers and decision making/finishing at the rim/playing defense without fouling. All things that will get better just by playing the game. The FG% will improve..the mechanics are fine. He was probably drafted too high but his ceiling is still way up there.
The G League Ignite did not do favors to any of the guys that came out of it. The biggest thing Scoot struggles with right now is finishing at the rim over NBA bigs. G League doesn't have bigs like that because they all get grabbed up to be on NBA rosters. Other Ignite guys took a couple years to become good players.
Watched the full last three games. He showed some flashes as a passer and finisher but that is about it. He makes a ton of mistakes and cant really shoot from anywhere efficiently. Banton has been much better. Sharpe is going to be an allstar, he got it, just needs to be consistent. Rob III has been their most impactful player and could net them a good pick package from a contender. Clingan has some ups and downs but I feel good about him as the long term starter. Ayton and Simons are the odd men out imo. Camara has been very impressive and looks like the best 3 and d guy on the team. Longterm keepers are Sharpe, Clingan and Camara. The jury is still out on Scoot. Overall feels like a step in the right direction. With more internal improvements, this young core could make the playoffs by 2026.
Ayton is a huge problem in Portland. Anytime Clingan or Williams are on the court the guards instantly look much better. Sometimes it legitimately feels like Ayton is sabotaging his guards. His screens and spacing are that bad. Makes me feel for Anfernee Simons as well.
I agree to this point in the season, especially in the 4th quarter. Scoot needs to jump off both those rockets in his feet and finish like Derrick Rose.
Point of contention. While DB is absolutely a better scorer, he's equal/worse defensively and doesn't have the ball-handling/playmaking abilities that Scoot has. DB struggles simply bringing the ball up in traffic or against pressure. Both have their place, but DB is a more natural 2/3 than a PG.
It just seems that Scoot is a guy whose always been successful through his talent not through hard work. Many guys like that get to the NBA and they can't handle the work guys as talented as them put in. So instead they get lazy, they believe their talent makes them special and that's why they will be successful. Scoot isn't taking the NBA seriously, and as a short guard, he is just not in a position to screw around for long. He will probably be out of the league in 5-6 years, unless he completely changes his attitude. Arriving to media day so high you can only talk about food is a really big red flag. Imagine if Wemby did what Scoot was doing, the entire media would be talking about it for weeks
The Truth about Scoot is that he's looking more like just a solid starter than a superstar that everyone just perceives him to be because of prior draft stock. Not everyone is cut to be this superstar/franchise altering guy.
unfortunately that is a bitter pill to swallow for a lot of Blazers fans considering the draft capital used to get him, but people underestimate the value of getting productive players who contribute in meaningful ways for many years. Not everyone on a roster needs to be a superstar to win a title. If Scoot can get to the level of a guy like Derrick White I would be absolutely ecstatic.
Scoot got caught up in the Wemby hype. He was overrated before he came into the league but he's going to be a great PG. He's explosive and has good court vision. Nothing is guaranteed but he doesn't need to be the star in Portland, he just needs to be able to handle the playmaking duties, hit the open 3, and drive hard to the paint.
Can a young player grow scoot will be just fine he has all the tools just need to work on consistency which is understandable because he’s a young player I don’t like you fake fans at all when he start playing good which he will I’m come to this post (LETS GO SCOOT)
I'm trying not to judge him so harshly as a Blazer fan. However, it's getting very hard to defend him or feel any hope. Hopefully, we trade Aytom, Simons, and Grant allowing for him to have the floor as the PG for us. As of now, I would trade him. But I'm willing to be proven wrong.
Once the team gets rid of Ayton, Simons, Grant, and Billups as the head coach, watch for Scoots career to take off. Feel like those 4 are holding Scoot back. Especially Ayton who sets horrible screens and does horrible rolling to the rim on pick and rolls. There’s a reason Portland is 3-0 without Ayton and Simons.
Chauncey Billups, Kevin Johnson and Terrell Brandon weren’t All Stars early in their careers either. In fact neither were Kobe or TMAC. Scoot just needs time to polish things up. I’m not concerned in the least.
He has the potential. He just needs a jumper. If he has a jumper it opens up the whole court and it would be easier for him to slash because he would have a respectable jump shot. Trade Simons and Ayton. Scoot, Sharpe, and Clingan are the future!
Scoot did not get Moses Moody to turn around. Moses Moody turned around because they switched. I guess that's what happens when you have to dig this hard to find good Scoot Henderson minutes.😊
Im glad he didn’t play under lillard. The latest dame protégée (simons) has no real place on our team now. Hes playing much better with RW and Cling Kong
on so many of his turnovers he is just too strong for his own good it looks like he puts in no effort on these passes and yet they rifle either out of bounds or off the hands
problem for scoot at this point, that before the draft his ceiling was franchise player and now his ceiling is borderline all star. By this measure alone, and in the blazers, he is more a trade asset that the Blazers future.
he isn't a trade asset because teams would likely only offer less than what he's worth because he's disappointed compared to expectations. No one is going to want to give up real value for a guy like that, but but they'll send an underpay as an offer hoping to pick him up for cheap in the hope they can develop him.
@markcowser2403 and? You could say the same thing about many NBA busts. What did he do in the first couple years in the NBA? Or how many years before his first all star game?
Scoot plays so much better with Clingan on the court. When the blazers get rid of Ayton I think Scoot will take off. Ayton is so hard for him to play with
Ayton is hard to coach in a young team, ayton would be a good player in Knicks and do way better than KAT does..
@@That1kali Ayton under Thibs's coaching is like water to an oil fire
Agreed. I watch every game and there's been a bunch of passes Scoot's made to DA that DA just fumbled.

Scoot got caught up in the Wemby hype. He was overrated before he came into the league but he's going to be a great PG. He's explosive and has good court vision. Nothing is guaranteed but he doesn't need to be the star in Portland, he just needs to be able to handle the playmaking duties, hit the open 3, and drive hard to the paint.
Can a young player grow scoot will be just fine he has all the tools just need to work on consistency which is understandable because he’s a young player I don’t like you fake fans at all when he start playing good which he will I’m come to this post (LETS GO SCOOT)
I want to see a player evaluation on Victor Webanyama 👽
If the concensus is that a player is cruising through an entire season just waiting to be drafted, that is a huge red flag.
I'm trying not to judge him so harshly as a Blazer fan. However, it's getting very hard to defend him or feel any hope. Hopefully, we trade Aytom, Simons, and Grant allowing for him to have the floor as the PG for us. As of now, I would trade him. But I'm willing to be proven wrong.
Love the content btw, SROS. Could you post these to Spotify too?
Once the team gets rid of Ayton, Simons, Grant, and Billups as the head coach, watch for Scoots career to take off. Feel like those 4 are holding Scoot back. Especially Ayton who sets horrible screens and does horrible rolling to the rim on pick and rolls. There’s a reason Portland is 3-0 without Ayton and Simons.
Great video
Chauncey Billups, Kevin Johnson and Terrell Brandon weren’t All Stars early in their careers either. In fact neither were Kobe or TMAC. Scoot just needs time to polish things up. I’m not concerned in the least.
He has the potential. He just needs a jumper. If he has a jumper it opens up the whole court and it would be easier for him to slash because he would have a respectable jump shot. Trade Simons and Ayton. Scoot, Sharpe, and Clingan are the future!
what is that nba record and scores teller in the back of your videos?
This the same dude yall said was more NBA ready than Wemby 😂
HE is a ROOKIE!!!!!
I have to disagree on your player development comment. Toumani Camara, rayan Rupert and kris murray have all developed very nicely
Is he better than bronny?
Scoot did not get Moses Moody to turn around. Moses Moody turned around because they switched. I guess that's what happens when you have to dig this hard to find good Scoot Henderson minutes.😊
He’s fun to watch , maybe he’s a turbo willie warren 2.0, or maybe he’ll be an 8th man for few more years
Im glad he didn’t play under lillard. The latest dame protégée (simons) has no real place on our team now. Hes playing much better with RW and Cling Kong
Why is ft% an indicator of future 3fg%?
Consistency and confidence in your shot mechanics
The only reason he got better was he dropped the goggles 😂
on so many of his turnovers he is just too strong for his own good it looks like he puts in no effort on these passes and yet they rifle either out of bounds or off the hands
problem for scoot at this point, that before the draft his ceiling was franchise player and now his ceiling is borderline all star. By this measure alone, and in the blazers, he is more a trade asset that the Blazers future.
You can’t place a ceiling on a 20 year old point guard lol..
he isn't a trade asset because teams would likely only offer less than what he's worth because he's disappointed compared to expectations. No one is going to want to give up real value for a guy like that, but but they'll send an underpay as an offer hoping to pick him up for cheap in the hope they can develop him.
Scoot is okay, he not gonna be #1, sharpe is the man, he can be a good compliment to sharpe.
love it
He was never the 1b to Victors A, maybe to people who wanted wemby to not live up to the hype
You should rlly talk abt how lemelo ball is playing rn. He looks a top 5 point guard rn. That three point shot looks wild too.
Lots of cope from Blazers fans in these comments.
He hasn’t been that good but he’s shown flashes of being a great playmaker. He had 10 assists his last game.
Let them cope lmao 😂
Love
Won’t ever be Wemby!
Sharpe has way more potential than scoot!
Super poor man's Westbrook
His best performances are mid and his average performance is being below average. He will be out of the league in a couple of years.
🏀
When I watch Scoot I still see a future all-nba guy. You can't teach that lightning fast first step, its the single most valuable asset in basketball
The guy is a scrub, he’ll be out of the league in 3 years
No he wont
Not a scrub
Do not panick I feel like he’s a late bloomer like Russ or curry
Russ had Kevin Durant on his team and Curry was dealing with injuries... Idk about Scoot smh
Scoot a mfken bust
They at least looked good and showed flashes. Scoot hasn’t shown squat
lol. Curry averaged 18ppg with insane efficiency his rookie season. He was never a late bloomer.
Steph was second in ROTY voting his first year, why do people make up narratives about Steph??
No views or comments in 9 min. Bro fell off😢
How many years did Curry get? Y'all need to chill out
Curry was hitting 3s in College
@markcowser2403 and? You could say the same thing about many NBA busts. What did he do in the first couple years in the NBA? Or how many years before his first all star game?
