Our own Nathan Grubel is back to take a look into Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson's hot stretch and how much his positive play can project forward beyond this season.
I’ve been wondering when a piece like this would come out - he’s looked like a different player in this stretch. You can see he’s not thinking as much. Also, he walked into an odd situation w/ a roster that intended to compete + a HC who expected Dame to be there. I’d love to see the move on from Simons, Grant and Ayton to let the young guys learn and grow.
Agree about wanting to see the “next” group for Portland take over. This roster has a lot of great pieces set with Scoot being the one who can tie it all together. But a core of Scoot, Sharpe, Deni, and Clingan has some great utility and structure to build around!
