It's now or never for Portland Trail Blazers point guard Scoot Henderson. The Blazers have wisely made him a priority this offseason with both their additions and subtractions. The departures of Anfernee Simons and Dalano Banton will free up significant minutes and touches. He also now has two valuable mentors in Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday, and the former won't be cutting into this on-court production this season.
The Blazers have successfully built an elite infrastructure around him, but now Scoot must take the step forward and prove he is a piece of their core. The Blazers can only do so much to help aid his development; it's on him to actually get past the finish line.
