Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton has been very impressed with Scoot Henderson’s growth during training camp.
(via Portland Trail Blazers):
“Scoot’s a vet. He’s always had that ball on a string, but he’s leading. He’s more loud. Telling us where to go. There’s a few times where I’m in the wrong spots, and he’s not dribbling the ball until I’m in the right position. He’s making that be known that he’s taking over and just locking in as our true franchise PG being that starting point guard that we need. Ant [Simons] and I are happy. We have our little talks like, ‘Yeah, Scoot doing his thing now.’ Just him leading, attacking the rim, and getting people open. His passing has been crazy, getting everybody involved, but mainly just being the floor general. That’s what opened up my eyes completely. His body: he’s always been Baby Hulk, but now he’s Hulk. So, good luck.”
