It took just 21 minutes in one game at the 2023 NBA Summer League for Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson to move the needle in a big way. That level of impact is either the most impressive or most confusing outcome following a summer league debut, possibly in NBA history.
But regardless, the hype surrounding Portland’s potential future star stands out in a big way. And that impact apparently has been felt by some NBA team officials, which Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix first reported.
In an eye-opening evaluation of summer league play, Mannix reported that “sky-high” opinions of Henderson’s play have led to “a couple of team officials” wondering whether the Spurs “would regret passing on Henderson down the line.”
