Scoot Henderson: 'In the locker room, they show me a good amount of respect'
How do you try to lead as a point guard while only 20 years old in the NBA? Scoot Henderson: I think it’s showing them you’re capable of doing it, taking accountability for yourself, and telling the other guys where you’re going to get them the rock. It’s about trying to lead the guys to good things in what they’re doing and when they’re messing up as well. I think men respect you so much more than you capping to them and lying about something. In the locker room, they show me a good amount of respect. I think our young group is so together right now. We all have the same respect for each other.Source: HoopsHype What’s the buzz on Twitter?

He was going to hang out with his teammates at the mall. – 5:26 PM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers Per Basketball Reference, that was the first successful “heave” of Scoot Henderson’s career.

Scoot Henderson: First, congrats to him on becoming a Hall of Famer. Everybody knew that was going to happen. It’s fire for him to be my coach as a Hall of Famer at the same time, which is kind of crazy. I think I’ve learned so much from Chauncey, like all of the little things in the game. He’s told me how I could work out, and Pooh Jeter has. Chauncey makes sure I’m calling out the plays and attacking in drills while getting into plays that guys like on offense and being vocal. Chauncey was vocal and the leader of his group when he played. Little things in his game he’s trying to instill in me. -via HoopsHype / December 11, 2024 How would you describe this Blazers team? Scoot Henderson: I think we’ll pan out to be one of the top teams in the league pretty soon with the young core that we have and the dogs on our team. You’ve got Donovan Clingan, who’s shown little glimpses of what he can do, and Shaedon (Sharpe). I try to get those guys the ball, and I try to do my thing. My main thing is getting guys the ball, letting them rock out, and letting the world see their talent. I’m trying to be a leader on and off the floor and get to know the guys a little bit more. I think we’re a core that plays hard and is going to shock a lot of teams throughout the season. -via HoopsHype / December 11, 2024 Not that you’re in your second season, what are the most valuable lessons you’ve learned in your NBA journey so far? Scoot Henderson: I think some of the valuable lessons are to not look at how somebody else is playing. Don’t wish you had this or that. I knew that a long time ago, but I’d say that’s pretty valuable for any of the young players coming up. Control what you can control. That’s how you work, play, and prepare yourself mentally and physically. Take care of your body and mental health. -via HoopsHype / December 11, 2024
