Henderson Scoot. Remember, it is this zinzin who had signed in G League this summer to rub directly with the professional world, without going through the university box. Well after four games, we can say that the leader of Team Ignite seems to have made the right choice. Come on, let’s take a look at the phenomenon.
We’re not serious when we’re 17. Normally, we do anything but touch a million dollars to crush fathers under the circles. However, we know a dragster who seems to enjoy meeting these criteria, it is obviously Sterling “Scoot” Henderson. The leader born in 2004 – there are zero valves – has played four G League games with Team Ignite, this team made up of experienced old men (cuckoo Kosta Koufos) and young, highly paid prospects. The balance sheet? Three victories, one defeat and the impression of seeing a future top player. It’s very simple, little Hendy turns 22 points on average in 26 minutes with the bonus, 7.5 rebounds and 5 assists. Over the last three games, the scout has landed three masterclasses: a record of 31 college pawns in Santa Cruz, a double-double (22 points and 10 rebounds) against the Kings and a black sheet by 27 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists facing the same victim. After proclaiming himself ” high level five star prospect » this summer, Scoot was expected at the turn and for the moment, it is there. Combine speed, explosiveness and an after all reliable shoot, you get a very pretty machine with highlights of 1m91 for 84 kilos.
Scoot Henderson is 17 years old, but he’s a GROWN MAN out there on the court! ???? @thereal013

In addition to obvious offensive qualities, the goof has a wingspan of 2m06, that of a golden eagle, which allows him to block his opponents well and to legitimately apply for Puy du Fou. The more we advance, the more we tell ourselves that the bird of prey will hover over the Draft 2022 … but nay! Quite simply because he is too young to be part of the 2022 vintage and that he will have to wait until 2023 to shake the paw of Uncle Silver. G League players will therefore continue to grapple with the phenomenon for one more year. His contract with Team Ignite provided for two years together anyway. A contract that made him the youngest professional basketball player in the history of the States before Jalen Lewis stole this title from him by signing in the Overtime Elite League, and we swear it exists. The point to work at Scoot Henderson is still his shot from the refreshment bar which seems a bit out of order at the moment, with only 16% success, but we have no doubt that time will do its work. This year, he is not the only one to hit the G League and others are also wreaking havoc. This is the case of Brandon Boston Jr., under contract with the Clippers, who has just set fire to Ligue 2 with 46 pawns 9/12 from the parking lot during his last game with the “Warm waters” Clippers. A little less hot than the other two, Neemias Queta, Cristiano Ronaldo’s favorite basketball player, is also warming up with 15 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in five G-League games with the Stockton Kings. In short, there are beautiful people in the second division and that gives us very nice highlights!
Brandon Boston Jr. was NOT HUMAN today! The @ACClippers star dominated from start to finish. ????

The G League looks more and more like a jungle of young talent. Obviously, Scoot Henderson is one of the most impressive in terms of its qualities and its precocity. It remains to be seen how it will turn out over time… but you won’t be able to say that you weren’t in the know.
