NBA Summer League action got underway in Las Vegas on Friday, with plenty of anticipation building for the debut of Spurs No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama. However, it was the fast start for another top-three pick, Trail Blazers rookie Scoot Henderson, that turned the heads of those watching first.
Henderson took the court for the first time for Portland against the Rockets and immediately made his impact felt. In the first quarter alone, the former G-League Ignite star scored 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting along with three rebounds and three assists. He produced a number of highlight-reel plays to stuff the stat sheet, beginning with a step-back jumper that dropped cleanly through the bottom of the net.
Scoot is on the board 👏
