Ahead of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/trail-blazers-vs-rockets-prediction-odds-pick-11-23-2024">Portland’s road game against the Houston Rockets</a>, Chauncey Billups’ team received some concerning news about its star guard.</p><p>According to Trail Blazers reporter Sean Highkin, Henderson <a href="https://x.com/highkin/status/1860399040820838833" rel="noopener">was in a ride-share</a> in Houston when the car was rear-ended. The accident was minor, and Henderson is okay, but he will miss tonight’s game with a back strain. Henderson is considered day-to-day going forward.</p><h2><b>The Portland Trail Blazers’ young core is getting better with every game</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Blazers-Scoot-Henderson-1.jpg"><figcaption>Jaime Valdez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This news for the Portland Trail Blazers happens at a time when the franchise’s youth movement is in full swing. Luckily for the organization, Henderson is set to fully recover and contribute to this rebuild soon. Chauncey Billups’ team is 6-10 and has had signature moments already, such as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-most-pleasant-surprise-early-2024-25-season">back-to-back wins over the Minnesota Timberwolves</a>. So far, the standout players this season have been third-year star Shaedon Sharpe and rookie Donovan Clingan.</p><p>The 21-year-old Sharpe, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-shaedon-sharpe-gets-important-injury-update">who was recovering earlier in the season from a posterior labral tear</a>, is leading the Blazers in points at 17.8 points per game. This start is very encouraging, especially for a player coming off a serious injury. Similarly, Portland’s first-round pick from this year’s draft, Donovan Clingan, has turned many heads in 2024.</p><p>The seventh overall selection is gradually getting more comfortable in Chauncey Billups’ offense, averaging 6.2 points and 5.9 rebounds. Clingan’s transition to defending NBA players, however, has been seamless. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-rookie-donovan-clingans-block-party-has-fans-excited-for-cling-kong">The two-time national champion averages 2.1 blocks per game and put together a monster eight-block performance</a> against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After just 16 games, it’s already clear that Portland’s future center is on the roster.</p><p>To this point, Scoot Henderson has had an up-and-down second season in “The City of Roses.” He’s currently averaging 11.3 points and 5.2 assists on a career-best 40.6% field-goal percentage. Henderson’s main concern is that his three-point efficiency has dropped to 28.6% through 15 games. This weakness will be something to watch for the 6’3 guard in the future, as a guard of his size could struggle in the modern-day NBA without an elite three-point stroke. However, there’s still plenty of time, as Scoot is only 20 years old.</p><p>Looking ahead for Chauncy Billups’ team, the Blazers have three road games coming up against the Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, and Indiana Pacers. Coming off a two-game losing streak against the Thunder and Rockets, the Blazers have been way more competitive at this point in the season compared to last year. However, things can get out of hand quickly if this franchise doesn’t stay focused in a stacked Western Conference.</p><p>Overall, it’s very fortunate that Scoot Henderson is okay after this scary accident. Hopefully, he’ll be able to get back to doing what he loves most in the very near future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 20-year-old is starting his second season with the Blazers after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-scoot-henderson-selection-rare-nba-draft-phenomenon-not-seen-lebron-james-class">he was selected with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft</a> after spending two years with the G-League Ignite after graduating early from high school at 17 years old.</p><p>It was an unconventional path for such a highly touted prospect, especially one that was a five-star recruit in high school. The 6-foot-3 point guard details how beneficial it was for him to become a professional athlete at an early age rather than attending a university like most kids his age.</p><p>“The G-League was great for me,” says Henderson in a one-on-one interview with ClutchPoints. “The G-League was great for my development, the first two years in my professional career. I’d say the first year I just learned to be away from my family. I learned how to grow up pretty fast. I was on the other side of the United States, away from my family for the first time at 17 years old. I just had to grow up a lot faster than my age at the time. A lot of kids are still in high school. I didn’t take that to heart and I didn’t let that affect how I played.”</p><p>The Georgia native details how he “grew up” by playing on the other side of the country for the Henderson, Nevada-based affiliate. It was the first time in his life that he had been away from his family.</p><p>“I grew so much and there were games where I was real frustrated — because I was playing against pros — and guys compete hard every night,” Scoot Henderson details. “It wasn’t like we were playing a sorry team. These are real professional athletes, guys that have been up and down in the NBA, guys that have killed overseas, averaged 30 overseas.”</p><p>He details even further how the G-League Ignite — the affiliate that helped prepare many high-level prospects for the NBA before shutting down earlier this year — helped prepare him for life as an NBA player.</p><p>“You have guys in high school who are focused on the math quiz the day after the game,” says Henderson. “Stuff like that I had to get used to, get used to becoming a pro, and that everyday life that hooping is my job. I got comfortable with that, during my second year I was able to make that jump and get even more comfortable with being a professional athlete and taking care of my body and knowing that nutrition is a big factor. Rest is a big factor.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-blazers-must-still-believe-scoot-henderson-all-star-potential">Henderson didn’t light the world on fire during his rookie season</a>, but he had a solid campaign after averaging 14.0 points and 5.4 assists per game while starting 32 games for the young Blazers. Entering last season, <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/nba-roster-survey-facts-to-know-for-the-2023-24-season" rel="noopener">Portland actually had the fourth-youngest roster in the league</a>. The Blazers are even younger this season, <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/nba-roster-survey-facts-2024-25-season" rel="noopener">with the second-youngest roster in the league</a>.</p><p>Portland recently clinched its first win of the season in a 125-103 win over the New Orleans Pelicans with Henderson registering his best game of the season with a nine-point, seven-assist performance in 30 minutes of playing time. Henderson led the game in assists and is off to a solid start to the 2024-25 season with 15.3 points and 5.7 assists per game on 41.0% shooting from the field.</p><h2><b>Scoot Henderson Says Relationship With Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe Is Good: ‘They’re My Dogs’</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/blazers-news-scoot-henderson-shaedon-sharpe-named-to-nba-rising-stars-squad-at-all-star-weekend.webp"></figure><p>The Blazers notably feature a logjam of talented guard players in Henderson, Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe. Simons is the oldest at 25 years old, while Sharpe is just a year older than Henderson at 21 years old. Despite all being young, highly touted prospects at the same position, Henderson details that they’re all friends and that they have “good relationships.”</p><p>He’s obviously far from a finished product and has some strides to make, particularly in the shooting department, where he converted on just 38.5% of his shots from the field and 32.5% from beyond the arc. Henderson — who is speaking on behalf of his new shoe release, the Scoot Zeros II — says he worked on “everything” in the offseason.</p><p>“I focused on everything this offseason,” says Henderson. “I focused a lot on my hip mobility, my hip rotation, internal and external, things like that. Really some technical stuff, stuff that’s going to help me move even better, stronger and even more balance. Maybe even slow down and hit the brakes a lot faster. The Scoot Zeros help me hit the breaks a lot faster with the traction and how they fit on my feet — it’s like a glove.”</p><p>The second-year Blazers guard even mentions how he worked on little things like his physicality such as when he’s going up for a layup in the paint.</p><p>“Just techniques on my shot and making sure when I go up for a layup with contact, I’m making sure I’m imposing my will and bumping first and initiating the contact,” says Henderson.</p><h2>Henderson Talks Newest Shoe Release, The Scoot Zeros II</h2><p>Henderson will release his second shoe through PUMA in December after already having one released during his rookie season. The first color scheme of his Scoot Zeros II series — there will be a number of different colors — will be featured in bright neon green, blue and pink. Henderson explains what went behind the creative process for his newest shoe release.</p><p>“The main thing that influenced the Scoot Zero II was going for a low cut and something that you can wear on the court and still look fly off of the court as well,” Henderson explains. “Kind of the same thing we went for last year. One thing is, the visual part — the low cut — still looks kind of edgy. A little more flashy, It looks like it has wings on the side and on the eyelet, some fire color ways as well. On the two, we were really able to get into it with the design and the colors as well and make it a lot more fun.”</p><p>Although Henderson plays in the Northwest region for the Portland — where bright neon green is popular with the Seattle Seahawks and Oregon Ducks — he explains that had nothing to do with his color selection.</p><p>“I like green,” says Henderson. “I just wanted bright neon and I’ve always been into a neon color way. The green, the blue and the pink, those are just fire colors that I think looks great on a shoe. There’s definitely some fire colors we have, they’re going to be dropping pretty frequently and a lot of fire color ways that I think people will love. The color ways for the younger generation, that’s kind of what I attack. A lot of color ways that are neutral and anybody at any age can wear on the court.”</p><p>Henderson is thankful for being one of the few NBA stars to have a shoe deal, especially as early as his rookie season. He details how he has creative influence in the making of his shoe and has a good relationship with PUMA.</p><p>“It’s a blessing to even have my own shoe because I’m one of the very few who has played basketball, especially as a rookie to have my own signature shoe,” says Henderson. “I really appreciate PUMA for welcoming in my family. We’re always in contact with PUMA. They give me creative control on how I want the shoe to look. They also give me feedback on what the people would like and what their ideas are as well. It’s a cool, co-operative shoe in the making. It’s fun. It’s kind of like going on 2K and making your own shoe.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has words and will travel, just not on the court.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Portland Trail Blazers are a full season clear from cutting ties with Damian Lillard. The franchise is embarking on a new chapter with a relatively clean slate around the 2023 NBA Draft’s second overall pick Scoot Henderson. Henderson’s arrival signaled a shift in the team’s strategy, focusing on developing young talent and building for the future. At just 19 years old, the highly touted G League Ignite prospect brings a blend of athleticism, skill, and a high basketball IQ that excited fans for the new era.</p><p>Then <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-scoot-henderson-fails-nba-all-rookie-team">Henderson’s rookie season happened.</a> Despite a challenging start to the professional career, there are several compelling reasons why the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/trail-blazers-bold-predictions-2024-25-season-schedule-release">Blazers should continue to believe</a> in Henderson’s All-Star potential. Henderson’s rookie season was marred by injuries and the pressure of replacing a franchise icon. Despite these challenges, he showed <a href="https://www.nba.com/blazers/news/season-in-review-scoot-henderson" rel="noopener">remarkable resilience and growth</a>.</p><p>Henderson’s shooting mechanics, finishing at the rim, and change of pace improved significantly over the season. This development was crucial for his future success and demonstrates his dedication to becoming a better player. The Blazers must build on that, and will, with the full expectation of All-Star-level return on their investment.</p><h2><b>Blazers building with brilliant on-ball creation</b></h2><p>At 6’2″ with a strong frame and explosive athleticism, Henderson possesses the physical tools necessary to excel at the NBA level. His ability to drive to the basket, combined with his defensive potential, makes him a versatile player who can impact the game on both ends of the floor.</p><p>Henderson’s physical attributes are undeniable. There is a reason some American-based scouts still had Scoot in contention for the first-overall pick over Victor Wembanyama. Teams with established big men might prefer Henderson’s ability to get to the rim, finish in a crowd, and sink free throws. It was a foolish stance in hindsight but Henderson had the hype coming off of the AAU summer circuits. Still, Henderson’s on-ball creation has All-Star upside in today’s pace and space era.</p><p>Leaning on speed and strength got the rookie through the roughest moments. They’ll become easier as Henderson learns to read the game. His <a href="https://www.nba.com/stats/players/traditional?PerMode=Per100Possessions&amp;SeasonType=Regular%20Season&amp;TeamID=1610612757&amp;dir=A&amp;sort=FGA" rel="noopener">per 100 possession stats</a> reveal game-changing potential to pair with those spurts that pass the eye test. For the 2023-24 regular season, Henderson averaged (per 100 possessions):</p><ul><li><b>Points:</b> 23.9</li><li><b>Assists:</b> 9.2</li><li><b>Rebounds:</b> 5.3</li><li><b>Steals:</b> 1.3</li><li><b>3P%:</b> 32.5%</li><li><b>Turnovers:</b> 5.8</li></ul><p>Protecting the ball will be a priority. Even in a tough rookie season though, Henderson’s flashes gave the front office reasons to smile. Henderson’s per-100 possession stats improved across the board after the All-Star break:</p><ul><li><b>Points:</b> 25.6</li><li><b>Assists:</b> 10.9</li><li><b>Rebounds:</b> 5.4</li><li><b>Steals:</b> 1.9</li><li><b>3P%:</b> 35%</li><li><b>Turnovers:</b> 6.9</li></ul><p>The Blazers have a solid track record of developing young players from Lillard, CJ McCollum, Anfernee Simons, and Shaedon Sharpe. GM Joe Cronin was also proactive in reshaping the roster around Henderson this summer, making moves to maximize the new young core’s efficiency.</p><h2><b>Blazers scoop up help for Scoot Henderson</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Scoot-Henderson-celebrates-a-big-play.jpg"><figcaption>troy wayrynen-usa today sports</figcaption></figure><p>Every young player requires the right environment to thrive. Well, Henderson is surrounded by a young and talented roster that can complement his style of play. Cronin cashed in some chips for Deni Avdija, one of the best young wings in the world. DeAndre Ayton and Jerami Grant should give Henderson a solid frontcourt platform for the pick-and-rolls, at least until the Blazers make another trade.</p><p>Head coach Chauncey Billups and the coaching staff are committed to Henderson’s development. The stat lines should show the commitment from both sides to make this partnership work. With increased confidence and a more prominent role, Henderson’s per-game averages should rise over these tepid rookie year numbers.</p><ul><li><b>Points:</b> 14</li><li><b>Assists: </b>5.4</li><li><b>Rebounds:</b> 3.1</li><li><b>Steals:</b> 0.8</li><li><b>Turnovers:</b> 3.4</li></ul><p>Again, the All-Star break gave Henderson time to refresh some tired legs. Early struggles are part of the journey for many great players. The challenges faced will serve as valuable lessons. It was encouraging to watch Henderson put some of the pieces together down the stretch last season.</p><ul><li><b>Points:</b> 16.6</li><li><b>Assists:</b> 7.1</li><li><b>Rebounds:</b> 3.5</li><li><b>Steals:</b> 1.3</li><li><b>Turnovers:</b> 4.5</li></ul><p>Points per game should improve considerably and without sacrificing too many touches for others. So, if that plays out, expect a better assist-to-turnover ratio as well. Henderson’s more informed decision-making and sharpened ball-handling skills should result in about two assists per quarter, eventually.</p><p>That is why the Blazers and their fans have every reason to remain hopeful for a brighter future with Henderson leading the charge as an NBA All-Star caliber cornerstone. The Blazers are in a rebuilding phase, and Henderson’s best is still years away from being realized. The team must focus on his long-term development rather than short-term results. By investing in Henderson’s growth, the Blazers can build a foundation for future success.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Henderson took a nontraditional route to being the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Let’s look at Scoot Henderson’s net worth in 2023.</p><h2><b>What is Scoot Henderson’s net worth in 2024? $3 million – $4 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Scoot-Henderson_s-net-worth-in-2023-2.jpg"></figure><p>Henderson opted to go professional early by signing with the NBA’s G League Ignite. He is interested in maximizing his earning potential with this and his brand endorsements. Scoot Henderson’s net worth in 2024 sits <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/scoot-henderson-net-worth" rel="noopener">between $3 million and $4 million</a>, according to SportsKeeda.</p><p>Henderson was born in Marietta, Ga. His father is a coach and trainer and runs the Next Play 360 training facility with Scoot’s mother. He has three sisters who also played NCAA Division I basketball. Surprisingly, Henderson took the nontraditional route and didn’t follow his sisters into NCAA basketball.</p><h2><b>Scoot Henderson’s high school career</b></h2><p>Henderson played basketball for Carlton J. Kell High School in Marietta. Henderson immediately began making an impact in his sophomore season, scoring a season-high 49 points in a 92-91 overtime win in the Class 5A State tournament. He led the team to the semifinals and averaged 24 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three steals per game. He was the Class 5A Player of the Year.</p><p>Henderson raised his career-high in his junior season, scoring 53 points in a 94-64 win, breaking the school’s single-game and career scoring records. Henderson led the school to the Class 6A State title game but lost to Isiah Collier and Wheeler High School. His averages of 32 points, seven rebounds, and six assists made him the Class 6A Player of the Year.</p><p>Henderson was a consensus five-star recruit, and 247sports made him the second-best point guard in the 2021 class. Schools like Ole Miss, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Auburn, and Georgia gave Henderson offers leading up to his junior year. Henderson would sign with none of these colleges, deciding to turn professional before his senior season. Scoot and his sister, Crystal, had their jerseys retired at Kell and are the top scorers in school history for boys and girls basketball.</p><h2><b>Scoot Henderson signs with NBA G League Ignite</b></h2><p>Henderson’s contract with NBA G League Ignite was a two-year, $1 million deal. Henderson was the youngest player in G League history at 17 and made an immediate impact. In his second game against the Santa Cruz Warriors, Henderson had 31 points, six rebounds, and five assists.</p><p>His first taste of NBA action was when he represented G League Ignite at the Rising Stars Challenge during NBA All-Star Weekend. In his second season, Henderson played 19 games in the G League, averaging career-highs of 16.5 points per game, 6.5 assists, and 5.4 rebounds.</p><p>The G League debuted a new Next Up Game in 2022. Henderson was one of the captains. He also returned to the NBA All-Star Weekend for a second straight season. Henderson’s stock was high enough that he was projected to be in the top three of the NBA Draft. The team held him out for the final five games in preparation for the draft.</p><h2><b>Scoot Henderson is drafted by the Blazers</b></h2><p>The Portland Trail Blazers made Henderson the third overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. An injury caused him to sit out most of the Summer League, but he was ready for his first training camp. He made his preseason debut in a game against the New Zealand Breakers.</p><p>Henderson has the opportunity to be the face of the Trail Blazers franchise. It was a crowded backcourt when they drafted Henderson, as he would have to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-scoot-henderson-100-honest-on-damian-lillard-comparisons" rel="noopener">share duties with Damian Lillard</a>. The Trail Blazers chose to go forward with Henderson as their guy when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bucks-news-damian-lillard-drops-eye-opening-admission-on-blazers-milwaukee-trade" rel="noopener">they traded Lillard</a> to the Milwaukee Bucks.
