Howard Beck might have written the first national profile of Scoot Henderson right at the beginning of his first season with G League Ignite. (according to Sean Highkin). Howard spent time with Scoot's family and at their gym in Marietta, Georgia. Remember that on YouTube you can control the speed of the video from 0.25 to 2 times which is great for long podcasts like this one.
There's no way in hell that a rookie POINT GUARD starts at SG over your $20M per year veteran 20+ppg shooting guard. Especially if you want to trade said shooting guard ever.
Damian Lillard got a double-double with 23 points and 11 assists against the Lakers on October 31, 2012, his first NBA game. Curious how Scoot's debut will look like
You're fired. We gave the Simons / Lillard backcourt a chance last season. It didn't work, and I'm not even considering the defense. On offense, you have two small guards with poor court-vision walking the ball up the court. Lillard and Simons is the worst guard pairing, and anyone who suggests starting them together, with all the other options available, should be relieved of their coaching duties. If Lillard, Scoot, Sharpe and Simons were all free agents, Simons would get the smallest contract. Are you seriously demanding starting Simons over Scoot because his 2nd contract is more than the #3 pick's rookie salary? Fired again.
Yeah, Scoot should start and our lineup should be Dame, Scoot, Simons, Shaedon and Grant, and the other team will outrebound us by about a bazillion to one.
