The Trail Blazers may have an All-Rookie on their hands.
The Portland Trail Blazers had a season to forget in 2023-24. Portland is headed to its third straight NBA lottery under head coach Chauncey Billups, thanks to a miserable 21-61 finish.
But when one looks beyond the club's season at large, there are some intriguing takeaways folks can deduce, especially with regards to the team's first-year players.The marquee name among Portland rookies, Henderson was selected with the third overall pick out of the now-defunct G League Ignite development squad. He had some incredibly choppy months, as injuries only compounded his issues with defense, ball control, and shooting. By the end of the year, however, things were looking up.
Despite being plauged by inconsistently, Henderson remains by far the team's highest-upside rookie prospect, thanks to his athletic gifts, scoring touch, and deft passing acumen. Time will tell if he can put everything together at the highest level.The 27-year-old LSU product joined the Trail Blazers on a two-way contract initially this season, but he was so good he eventually earned a standard contract in February. Through 68 contests , the 6-foot-11 pro averaged 9.1 points on .461/.359/.
