In 2023, the Portland Trail Blazers were just one lottery ball away from landing a generational prospect in Victor Wembanyama. Instead, they wound up falling to the No. 3 overall pick, where the consensus was that they'd take whoever remains between Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson.
With Miller going No. 2 to the Charlotte Hornets, the Blazers were believed to have gotten a promising consolation prize and their point guard of the future. Three seasons later, it unfortunately still remains to be seen if that's the case.
Not only is Scoot just 21 years old and still adjusting to the most challenging position in the NBA, but he's also not had the opportunity to prove himself as he remains sidelined with a hamstring injury that keeps dragging on.
