One thing is certain, Sterling “Scoot” Henderson is one of the greatest talents of his generation, in any case one of the greatest potentials. Drafted in 3rd position last June by Portland (Oregon), the youngest player in the history of the G League (Minor League) was very confident about his ambitions for the next NBA season. “I will be rookie of the year” launched the native of Marietta in Georgia (USA) in an interview for Playmaker.
But in front of him there will be many rookies ready to do anything to show themselves and meet the expectations placed on them, including the Frenchman Victor Wembanyama. Drafted in first position, “Wemby” will be highly anticipated for his first season as well.
The Blazers are still waiting to hear the final word on their star playmaker Damian Lillard, who is still on the way out. Lillard no longer wants to stay in Oregon and has made it known that he wants to join the Miami Heat, the last runner-up.
