I love how in a few year's time, we went from having the 2 faces of a draft being chaos (zion/ja) to 2 of the most mature players ive ever seen (scoot/wemby)
It happens, look at this year's NFL draft. With Bijan, Stroud, Van Ness, and a bunch of other 1st round picks (1st round NFL talents like up to ~16 are the same as 1/2 picks in the NBA) are so much more mature than last years and probably the last 4/5 years drafts. Wemby will be solid, but Scoot and Miller will probably be better, I hope I'm wrong just due to me liking San Antonio (I'm a Jazz fan) and their ability to develop bugs under pop
Crazy to think that my Blazers made one of the biggest draft blunders of all time by picking Sam Bowie second over Michael Jordan who then got picked third, only to have Michael Jordan select Brandon Miller second, leaving Scoot Henderson to fall to the Blazers at third.
POR had Drexler who was a phenom at same position so they didnt take MJ. CHA has Lamelo who is no Drexler and injured... They needed to take Scoot and put Lamelo at the SG since the guy is too fragile to be the main facilitator...
Idk man.. I'd rather have the 6'9 wing with top level shooting and play making ability in today's NBA. It's just a much rarer skillset than an athletic PG. For all we really know Scoot could just turn out to be a better Eric Bledsoe or something like that. To me he's more of a powerful guard than a twitchy guard in the mold of DRose or Westbrook.
i've been talking to my friends about Scoot for the past year.. he's amazing! he's so athletic that he almost dunks from the free throw line and at the same time he is very good at shooting.. let's hope that he stays solid and consistent and we're talking about one of the best in the nba! i hope he stays healthy and hopefully he becomes an MVP in the coming years!
Scoot's gonna be a better pro when it's all said and done. Portland should just gather as many picks as possible for Dame and build around Shaedon and Scoot. Sharpe is gonna be a monster too. They will both eventually make an all star team together even in the West.
He has to develop that 3 point shot so he doesn't become a liability in half court sets. He has so much of D Rose's game in him right down to that blow by speed. I believe he can set the league on fire and in his game I see a lot of Rose and John Wall and I pray his career doesn't get derailed with a similar injury.
He could never take a 3 again in his life and still not be a liability in the half court. Only ben simmons level of offensive incompetence and passiveness leads to that. Scoot will be deadly even without a 3 point shot, although one will definitely help push his game to a higher level.
This is perfect for him. If he blossoms into an all star talent he can say I told you so. Second the pressure isn't on him so he can develop naturally unlike being in the spotlight like victor. Plus being drafted number 3 means that the organization sees greatness in him. Let him fly under the radar, grow and when it's time he'll get his shine. Couldn't ask for a better situation than not being pressured like victor is in this draft. He has breathing room
Not only that, but getting drafted by Portland which is starting a rebuild, getting paired with a running mate like Shaedon Sharpe, and being in a small market with the only expectation being to grow and improve, it only makes his situation that much more positive
Portland also has a lot of experience developing young guards to their full potential (Dame, CJ, Anfernee, Gary Trent Jr.). Portland is for sure one of the best teams at developing guards in the league.
Getting picked 3rd is not getting slept on. Clearly it’s still a high valued pick. Just because he’s not getting clout doesn’t mean anything. Remember when Kobe Bryant was drafted? He wasn’t even in the top ten. Lonzo and Zion were getting all the clout but clearly it’s just a hype now.
Should have gone #1 over Wembanyama. Yama is tall as fuck and fluid but he's not a #1 talent. He got compared to KD, but 1: KD is the all time leader in isolation PPP, meaning he’s the greatest isolation player ever, 2: in college KDs coach said he was the only player in his coaching career he never called a play for because he was so good at creating his own shot he didn’t need to. 3: ESPN called him the greatest prospect ever. Now THAT is a red flag because their analysis sucks. Scoot should have gone 1, and teams are gonna see why when guys like Yama and Zion just fizzle out
@@Bob-fj7lr bro no just no victor and scoot are def genratnail talents but victor just has more going for him i mean no 7,5 guy moves like that and yes scoot is amazing but height will always be valued over skill in the nba even if its not the right choice
@@KingAWC there's no guarantee being that tall will mean that he's even better than Tracy McGrady for example, who was really fluid and tall. While I think over time we will see Henderson is more skilled and his athleticism and PG ability was undervalued. Especially if Wemby can't handle the physicality of the NBA
probably like 1984 draft, when Olajuwon/Wembanyamma is the ovious 1st pick, sam bowie/brandon miller was picked 2nd because michael jordan/ scoot henderson position already filled with good tallent like clyde draxler/lamelo ball.
VW didn't impress in summer league. He'll be a decent rim protector. Get the odd double double (points, rebounds), but I don't see him scoring over 30ppg every night. He got pushed around quite a bit.
4:33 I know a lot of tall guys who as grown ups confess that they hated basketball. But they felt compelled to play because they were tall. So to hear NBA players who are not really into basketball is really not a surprise to me personally.
Not only is Henderson a great scorer, but he's also a facilitator as a true point guard, great at scoring inside, and has the physical tools to be a good. It's possible Scoot Henderson has a better NBA career than Victor Wembanyama when it's all said and done.
Scoot actually grew slightly and msot recently measured in at 6 foot 3 without shoes, plus he has a 6 foot 9 wingspan. Given his insane build, he has almost the ideal physical traits for a point guard in the NBA. His maturity in how he plays is incredible for his age. It is almost unprecented to see anyone at his age coming out of the draft with his combination of physical gifts and maturity in play. Even other top end PG prospects who had major athletic gifts like Ja Moranr, Dearon Fox, John Wall, Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook didn't have as refined skillsets as he does. His only clear weakness is his shooting, but he's not awful there and he's actually way ahead of pretty much all the guys I mentioned before when they were the same age.
Die hard Blazers fan here. Great video. Rip City is kinda ripped in half behind the Dame saga. This was a breath of fresh air for us Blazermaniacs. TU 🫡
Henderson is a TNT man. When he takes the ball he is exploding. He has huge mass and when he rushes inside he can create space and dunk. A bit more athleticism is needed but he is crazy.
How is the NBA sleeping on him when he went 3rd overall? Kobe Bryant was the 13th pick. Gyannis Antetokoumpo and Kawhi Leonard went 15th overall. Ben Wallace, Udonis Haslem, and Fred Vanvleet went undrafted. Those guys were slept on. Not a 3rd overall pick.
Me sitting here trying to figure out how Scoot Henderson is slept on 🤔. So not dominating the talking heads story lines is being slept on? Apparently 99% of the league is slept on. I also don't think they regret anything, once scoot starts playing, and the Trailblazers are relevant. They will talk about him.
don't get me wrong, I love the kid, and I'm looking forward to see what he can do, his potential is insane. I just hate this style of videos, you're not saying it like it is, you say what the audience wants to hear. it sucks.
An extremely talented big man gets picked no 1. The next best player in the draft who is a guard gets drafted 3rd behind someone he really shouldn't have.....where have I heard this story before
I mean it's a good video overall, but I don't understand how you got that the NBA slept on him. Zion was going to be traded to get him, teams tried to trade to get him. Teams tanked for the chance to get either one of him or Victor. He got major coverage on ESPN and other sports shows.
I was looking at those scoot/wemby stats when they played each other and my eye wandered down to see wembys team mates name is Ho You Fat LMAO is this real life
I actually think it was best for him that he got drafted to blazers. The spurs has been complete shit without duncan and kawhi. The hornets are just like a shitty middle school team which just has lamelo. He's gon prove everyone wrong.
Remind me of when they slept on Jordan but big men was the game back then and the draft had to go like that for the dream and Jordan to be who they became
Its okay scoot for me his the real no.1 overall pick this year but unfortunately they all just hype the two other players because they have the height because on this era you must be tall to dominate... But its all about media hype
The a Hornets knew, they just didn't need him. I wish casuals would understand that. Scoot would be terrible with LaMelo. They're both ball dominate and it would be ignorant to bench LaMelo.
What's Scoot Henderson's ceiling?
the same as derrick rose if rose never got injured
9/10 10 being like luka lvl
Not much until he prove it, I can't stand people talking big shit about drafty....
Unknown report
Ben Simmons
Cant wait to see Scoot Henderson blossoms in the NBA.
watch him rise to the top like Ja Morant, I feel like the Wembanyama hype was as big as it was for Zion so the others kinda fly under radar
Let’s hope he don’t become one of the greatest shooters like ja

Hope for the best, they couldn't figure out how to get a team around Dame in 10years, hopefully they do scoot better

Two steals in Shaedon and Scoot. Both such high flyers, too. Reminds me of LaVine/Wiggins

Maybe on offense, but defensively he will never be better with his small height.
@@coops1992 haha, you did see him defend wemby, he was staying with the guy and keeping the scoring low.

He isn’t a good shooter… his percentages are quite bad for a guard.
The sky is the limit for this kid. The league is so hyped with the drafting of Wemby they slept on Scoot.
I mean I don’t think being the 3rd overall pick is really slept on. Dame at 6 was slept on. Klay at like 11 is slept top 3 to me isn’t really slept on
@mendithebeast4851 well any other draft he probably goes 1
Lamelo Is having a better Career than James Wiseman
@@andrewrandolph1529but he’s not in another draft …. So why even say that ? Lamelo goes first in any other draft, ja goes first in any other draft
Fr all ive seen is people praising scoot and hating on wemby and miller

Bruh I was thinking the same thing
Real shit 😂

Him and Sharpe in the backcourt is gonna be fun to see.
I think scoot thrives under pressure. It was evident during the national televised game against wemby.. his fav players are Kobe and AI lol
Portland also has a lot of experience developing young guards to their full potential (Dame, CJ, Anfernee, Gary Trent Jr.). Portland is for sure one of the best teams at developing guards in the league.

Dumbest take I have seen in my life. Imagine comparing sam Bowie to Brandon Miller foh
The NBA is not sleeping on Scoot Henderson nor Brandon Miller, in different draft class either one of them could be No.1.
No, this draft class 1 of them should've been #1 pick, Wemby is terrible and won't be NBA ready for the next 2 years.
@oneautumnleaff2119 you can't say that after one summer league game
Agreed. Going #3 is being slept on?
VW didn't impress in summer league. He'll be a decent rim protector. Get the odd double double (points, rebounds), but I don't see him scoring over 30ppg every night. He got pushed around quite a bit.

nobody is sleeping on Scoot, dude just got drafted...love the contents, maybe just pull back on the titles a little bit
No one slept on Scoot he's NBA ready most are about to get NBA ready which doesn't mean they won't be good players as well
LaMelo Ball & Scoot Anderson not fit in long term 😅😂😅😂😅😂
I dont ever comment on anything but this content i felt compelled to. Great vid im hyped for this kid. Such a great time since i lost so much from Ja
Can’t really say he’s slept on dude was projected to be 1-3 pick for 2 years
Scoot is not just 6 feet 2 . He has a long wingspan and huge hands.
They aren’t talking about him a lot but at number 3, that ain’t slept on. Once he starts playing, and he’s doing well, he’ll get the conversation
how did they sleep on scoot? hes a top 3 pick.

How can you sleep on a guy that’s 3 pick overall? I don’t get it
Us hornets fans weren’t excited about Miller either…. I get Michael kid-Gilcrest vibes 😢
Every journalist and every podcast has said exactly this
NO LIES DETECTED. SUBSCRIBED.
I see scoot being a great player, I see his roof very high
Hey what do you all think of Lester quionnes
What do you think about Warriors acquiring F Dario Saric
That’s a good ass move imo
0:13 Chuck Pearson looks a lot like Chuck Person 😂😂😂

Why are all the comments the same?
Yeah dude getting drafted #3 is such slept on
Blazers are in good hands with Scoot
Bro u said it urself they had LaMelo that's why what u want them to do to put him on the bench😭
PG and SG. Or they could’ve traded down. 🤷♂️
Who the fuck was sleeping on him aside from the hornets what 💀
don't get me wrong, I love the kid, and I'm looking forward to see what he can do, his potential is insane. I just hate this style of videos, you're not saying it like it is, you say what the audience wants to hear. it sucks.
This kid needs to stay hungry but he looks legit. Keep a good head on his shoulders and I can see him taking over the league in no time.
What a strange sentiment to hold, dude was drafted 3rd overall. "Slept on". Lol.
Victor will be out the league in 6 years Miller will be a boarder line all star scoot will be a mvp
With this video, he might be my next favorite nba player. Awesome! He could be a multi champ with that mindset.
This dude looks like he plays in the nfl. He is gonna be a force in the league.
You killed in this video straight up
how did the nba sleep on the 3rd draft pick in the nba?
I’m a huge Portland fan and I’m stoked that we got him.
Why didn’t raptors trade with blazers
He got a dangerous mentor, help be fine then😅
How is being picked 3rd being over looked?
span of 20s? he switched jersey's too? even the floor was changed too. he is incredible
lol. I'm a fan of MJ. Worshiped him as a kid. But that dig at him at the end got my sub.
Scoot is almost 6’4 now in shoes supposedly and the official measurements are usually in shoes unless you want to be weird about it like KD
Wemby if not injured will be the future but his legs and frame are scary if can hold up against a big body of mature athletic elite players in the nba
No he won't lol he is ass, he is just tall
An extremely talented big man gets picked no 1. The next best player in the draft who is a guard gets drafted 3rd behind someone he really shouldn't have.....where have I heard this story before
When Ethereum was drafted before XDC. and Look at Ethereum now. No where to be seen and XDC is #1
His mindset towards the game reminds me of the Kobe mama mentality
Yea there is like zero coverage on scoot, no injury update
The way blazers fan been hyping him up I hope he turns out a goat and not get injured or leave in free agency when that time comes
I mean it's a good video overall, but I don't understand how you got that the NBA slept on him.
Zion was going to be traded to get him, teams tried to trade to get him. Teams tanked for the chance to get either one of him or Victor. He got major coverage on ESPN and other sports shows.
Idk how we will regret sleeping on when he was drafted Top 5
He is going to be a generational talent.
Comedy

Scoot has been looking like more of an nba player than wemby in the summer league thus far
How was he slept on when he's 3rd overall pick?
It’s sad to see the era I grew up on leaving but I must say this next generation of talent is unbelievable
Imagine if the blazers got dwight howard to be that big defensive player they need rather than lazy slow nurkic?
can't wait to see Scoot vs Ja vs Antman
Remind me of when they slept on Jordan but big men was the game back then and the draft had to go like that for the dream and Jordan to be who they became
Its okay scoot for me his the real no.1 overall pick this year but unfortunately they all just hype the two other players because they have the height because on this era you must be tall to dominate... But its all about media hype

Miller in the other hand isn't ball dominate, he is more of a supporting role.
He went 3rd bruh that isn't sleeping 😂😂😂😂😂
Wingspan is MORE important than height! !
Scoot has 6'9" wingspan. He plays as if he is 6'9, not 6'2.
Jaylen Brown your next video Hoop Reports 🙏🙏🙏
I’m awake 🔥🔥
They want to ride the Wemby wave, scoot will be in the background till he wins more achievements
As people said. Scoot will TEAR up the league!
I think he is going to make a far bigger impact than Wembanyama.
We all know Scoot is good but everyone knows Victor has higher ceiling. No one sleep on Scoot but the Victor fever is too hot to ignore.
He’s 95% all hype also being driven by blazers management to take the focus off management for the train wreck of current ownerships mess
Ahh going third is not getting slept on.... Jokic going 41 is getting slept on. See the difference??
NO SHIT RIGHT?
Who slept on him? He got picked 3rd
Who underestimated him?? He went 3rd overall
