In Houston, Amen Thompson hasn't even been cleared to practice. He injured his ankle the same day Scoot did. Thompson (ankle) hasn't been cleared to resume practicing as of Tuesday and remains out indefinitely, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports. Thompson has been sidelined Nov. 1 with a Grade 2 right ankle sprain. He suffered an injury of the same grade to his left ankle during the Las Vegas Summer League that entailed a 2-to-4-week recovery, but Thompson looks as though he'll require a longer period of time to overcome his latest ankle sprain. At this stage, Thompson's absence looks as though it'll stretch into December, and a target date for his return to game action won't become clear until after he gets in at least a couple of practices under his belt.
maybe I'm reaching...a lot but I'd wonder if the ankle sprain has the silver lining that the time off has allowed Scoot to re-gather himself and change his perspective a little. I'd like to see him come off the bench for a few more games
if earning the starting role is the standard, then by Christmas the starters could be Ant-Brogdon-Camara-Grant-Ayton both Scoot and Sharpe have been mostly bad and have shot the ball like the basket is 14' off the floor
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he shot well tonight because he only played 31 minutes. They were running him into the ground. The fouling was a separate issue.
Now he is getting use to the goggles, that is why he was 1-7. Once he is used to them he will be KD like!!!
didn't sound like they were prescription but rather they were there to keep Scoot from touching his eyes with the contacts in....kind of like the plastic cones you wrap around a dog's neck to keep him from chewing on himself. Ask Sly about that but watch out for leg humping
maybe, but it was the 2nd of a back-2-back. And, he was going against the worst defensive team in the league
I'd also add that yes most came from division 1 colleges many did not. The players that did didn't get drafted or have been picked up from later picks. The good thing about the player going to the teams G league team is that they are working within the structure of the team they are playing for.
One thing that was ruled out, Marang said that Shaedon told him the thumb isn’t bothering him anymore. So his poor shooting can’t be attributed to his thumb.
Scoot has been assigned to the G-League. "Portland Trail Blazers rookie Scoot Henderson has been assigned to the team's G League affiliate for "return to court conditioning," the team said in a statement." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38954165/blazers-scoot-henderson-ankle-assigned-g-league
