Pros:

Gifted scorer off the dribble
Decent shooter, especially from the mid-range
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Solid playmaker
Solid rebounder for his size
Adequate defender that can get steals
Great athlete

Cons:

Streaky shooter
Can be prone to hoisting up questionable shots

Can be unfocused defensively

Summary:

Scoot Henderson is a very athletic, tremendously skilled playmaker that could be a cornerstone player of an NBA franchise.  He is a tremendously athletic point guard that can score the basketball in a variety of ways, and he is a very good ball handler that can comfortably run the point.  He’ll need to improve his jump shot, but regardless, he had a sterling career during his time with the G-League Ignite.  Henderson has all the makings to be an NBA superstar in the future and he will likely be a top 3 pick in the 2023 draft.
