By taking Scoot Henderson third in the NBA draft, the Trail Blazers ramped up speculation that they could trade Damian Lillard, as they both play point guard. However, Henderson said the two could play together successfully.
After the draft, Henderson made an argument that Portland should instead keep Lillard, as it would be great both on and off the court.
“I think Dame should stay,” Henderson said. “If we combine our games, it will be over. We kind of compliment each other’s game, we are both fun to watch. Ticket sales will go up, all the good stuff would happen if he stayed.”
