Scoot Henderson on Damian Lillard: I think he should stay in Portland, it would be great to play alongside Dame
SiriusXM NBA Radio: “Our relationship is gonna grow, especially that I’m going there now. I think our games can complement each other. I get in the paint and play defense well, and the things he does are obviously magnificent. I think we’re gonna do great. … I think he should stay. It would be great to play alongside a guy like Dame, learning so much, especially how he came in the game so confident and fearless. I’m gonna take the same approach.” 🏀 The newest member of the @trailblazers Scoot Henderson wants to be Damian Lillard’s teammate in Portland #RipCity #NBADraft

Scoot Henderson hopes that Damian Lillard stays in Portland: “I’m hoping to get to play with Dame, for sure. Special talent, special guard. One of my favorites to watch, especially film-wise. Just to pick out how he moves off the court as well. It would be cool to play with him.” – 1:32 AM

Crazy parallel for Blazers… Back in ’84, they took Sam Bowie at No. 2 (Hakeem went No. 1) because they didn’t want to be redundant w/ MJ & Drexler. BAD MOVE. Not this time around w/ Scoot (not saying he’s MJ) & Dame (even tho I think he’ll get traded).
Can Scoot & Dame work? – 1:15 AM

Worth nothing: Damian Lillard can’t actually be traded until July 9 (one year after he signed his extension) so it makes sense that the current stance is “giving the front office the first week of free agency to do enough.” – 11:25 PM

Scoot Henderson will be coached in Portland by a former point guard who also went No. 3 in the draft (in 1997), Chauncey Billups. Scoot says he is eager to learn from a point guard guru:
“I’m gonna pick Chauncey’s brain so much, he might get annoyed.”

Joe Cronin, Chauncey Billups and Damian Lillard exited last season lamenting the fact that the team was too young and lacked size.
Then the Blazers drafted 6-2 Scoot Henderson, 19.

I would be shocked if Scoot isn’t traded. Scoot is not a combo guard who can play with Dame and Dame won’t play off the ball. And the Blazers aren’t of a mind to deal Dame. That leaves Scoot on the move. They are just waiting for the best deal – 9:07 PM

Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson is the right choice by the Hornets. A 6-9 shot-creator and versatile defender over a 6-2 guard. Charlotte will be able to build big lineups alongside Miller and LaMelo Ball, and Miller has P&R playmaking skill to have Ball flourish off-ball. – 8:22 PM

New mock draft up now shifting Scoot Henderson to the Hornets at 2 and Brandon Miller to 3. But could Amen Thompson also be in consideration for the Blazers?

Word definitely is spreading among teams in the lottery that Charlotte is still strongly considering Scoot Henderson at No. 2, particularly with support from new ownership. General manager Mitch Kupchak told reporters this week Michael Jordan has final say over the selection. – 12:36 PM

More on this storyline
I’m told a timeline likely extends now between here this point tonight and the start of free agency, to see what Portland is able to do. If they are unable to do something meaningful to improve the team, Damian Lillard has said behind the scenes he doesn’t want to do a rebuild with young guys, he wants to be on a more veteran-laden team. For now, it’s a good night in Portland, Scoot Henderson was top priority for the Blazers. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / June 22, 2023
