> Tough to recall a more polished point guard prospect at this age than Scoot Henderson.
Scoot had 9 assists to 1 turnover tonight, played great defense, showed impeccable handles and finishing, and showcased a much improved jump shot.
Personally I think Scoot is the best point guard prospect since AT LEAST DRose. If not even further back. Absolutely insane that he basically has 0 chance to go #1

That may be true but Nate Duncan just says words
He definitely has more than 0
I’d honestly go up to like 25%, he’s really good and injuries can’t really be predicted
I’m obnoxiously high on Vic but Scoot is nice
He looks like a smoother and more efficient Westbrook with some D Rose and maybe some John Wall
He’s got that dog in him for sure though
I agree he was great tonight and looks like an amazing prospect. But personally I don’t have him over Luka yet (as a prospect). It wasn’t consensus at the time but looking back on his accomplishments and skills its hard to say Scoot has passed him up with one preseason game.
With a 7’5 mutant in the paint, to boot
Luka was orchestrating Real Madrids offense to a Euroleague title at his age winning MVP on the way lol, Luka was and still is the most proven and polished top 3 prospect in NBA history.
Luka.
Scoot Henderson’s biggest flaw is not being Victor Wembanyama

Honestly, in terms of a straight up prospect Markelle Fultz was incredible and there was a reason he was considered the clear #1 pick.
No one could see him completely losing his shooting ability coming. Coming off his freshman year he was an elite shooter with great size and athleticism and zero holes in his game. People were rightfully really high on him, it’s just super bizarre and a bummer what wound up happening between his freshman year in college and his rookie year in the league.
Scoot looks incredible and is absolutely on that level and one of the best guard prospects in recent memory, but if we are talking best PG prospects in recent NBA draft history I think we need to give Markelle a shout. He was an absurdly intriguing prospect.
What I just saw from Scoot convinced me. I am higher on Scoot than Wemby. Guy is going to be special.
Dexter Pittman but he was a center
The winner of next years draft is going to be whoever takes Scoot. Lower expectations, less media coverage, and I have no faith in humans the size of Wemby holding up physically.
Either him or Luka. Don’t know how the Euroleague MVP and Champion didn’t go 1st overall.
Scoot in almost every recent draft woulda gone #1 overall, but he just isn’t Wembanyama.
I am going to sound like a hater but I would like to be educated about Scoot Henderson. I’ve only seen the highlights today. I do not see the hype in his game. I can’t see what’s special. He looks like any high scoring athletic guard that doesn’t work in NBA. His physique/wingspan isn’t notable. Does he have elite vision or range he can fall back into?
After that legendary quote by victor the other day, I went to see some other interviews and this dudes confidence is on another level. He speaks of himself like he’s the main protagonist, and he got the skills to back it up
Scoot Henderson is a hall of fame name
Heartbreaking the person you hate the most makes a good point
I’d say Steph Curry better PG prospect than Scoot
What the hell name is Scoot. Like I’d really like to know what the parents were thinking
I get all the drooling over Victor but my hot take is we’ll end up looking back and saying Scoot was the better pick. I just cannot believe Victor holds up over an NBA career. Every NBA guy over 7’2 has broken down relatively quickly.
Trae Young led the NCAA in scoring and assists, some reason still had doubts, was runner up to Luka then averaged 29 and 9 as a sophomore. Somehow he’s still so underrated
Can someone explain what the type of player Scoot is?
I can’t really take someone called Scoot seriously.
I can’t wait for the next team to make an inexplicable trade just to tank.
There’s no way that we won’t see (at least) one other team go for the tank with the Spurs and Jazz.
You’re going to have two chances at landing a franchise-altering player.
The yearly hyperbole around a draft prospect…come on now. It’s one game…
This is kind of a trash take. Luka and Trae both exist.
Scoot is a sick name tbf
Scoot/Ja vs Wemby/Zion.
You might need to consider availability as a quality.
this tweet is straight out xenophobia and dumbass still claims luka is not a pg lol.
Preseason bro
