His play next year will be like night and day ..so much to prove after everybody switched up on him after he decided to take the challenge of facing better competition…

Not true scouts were down on him far before his decision.

[@astrolife334]

Lol it’s highlights they’re suppose to 😂😂

[@LastTrueElk]

I didn't know he was 17, that's explains A LOT. This young man hasn't even hit adulthood and wanted to play men. Hats off to his belief in himself. That's the dog mentality that'll grow into something special. He has YEARS before he even finds who tf he is as a hunan being.

[@ngc-fo5te]

Going to be tough to become athletic when you are not athletic. Small hands and short arms aren't going to change. Doesn't have much of a frame to put on weight and he's only just over 6 foot 7 - the 6 foot 9 is with huge heels on his shoes.

[@akig122]

A whole lot can be said bout this dude but a dog is not one of them. Idk why people started throwing that term around with him, bcuz he was flexing and screaming at 15yr olds in high school after every layup? It screams softness and when u see that with a young hooper u can call bust very early and im calling it now, him and Mikey Williams too.

[@emmanuelormannie3674]

Scoota Henderson is going crazy in the g league and he’s 17 too

[@jonathangazala421]

No he's not. He is scoring 14 a game 43% shooting and 17% from 3 pt. This in a league that shows very little resistance on D. He had some great games but also very bad ones. That said Scoot's physical tools for a 17 year old are off the charts.

[@HTC4]

So what’s better? College ball or G league Ball?

I had to learn to kill expectations and just wait and see. Even when they kill it in college. Don't mean they will kill it in the Pros. Some of the best stars weren't even the biggest stars on there college teams. And some didn't even really blossom til they got to the NBA. I ain't giving up on him yet. It could happen this year or his junior year if he stays. I had my hopes up for too many over the past 10 years. From tyreke Evans to Wiggins. So many but next year could be the year for him tho. He is fully capable of doing better. So I get that much.
