I'm here to tell you this.

I think everybody kind of forgot about Scoot Henderson because he's had this hamstring thing that just lingered and lingered and lingered.

The Blazers evolved without him.

The Blazers have Drew Holiday also as sort of a hybrid point guard.

And there's this sort of notion of Scoot that he can only operate on the ball and the Blazers have turned that job over to other people, notably Denny Abdiah.

And obviously his jumper is shaky, right?

People are going to go way under screens and dare him to beat them with jump shots.

His turnovers this season, I mean, this is not a typo.

He's averaging eight turnovers per 36 minutes in four games.

It's only been four games.

And they're just like wild turnovers, like a lob off the backboard, an entry pass that the guy doesn't even know is coming and gets stolen.

Sometimes he goes like, he gets caught in traffic and goes a little too fast and has nowhere to go.

Or like he runs into his own screen, just wild.

wild turnovers, but I'm here to tell you this, like keep an eye on scoot because the explosiveness and burst are like very much still there.

This guy is so fast and so strong against Minnesota.

The other day, he scored like 18 points in that game.

I think he flat out just roasted Anthony Edwards off the dribble from the right wing, just so

I'm going right around you and there's nothing you can do about it.

And you can go under screens against him.

Everyone's going to do it.
