Looked worth the hype, only nitpick I could come up with is he does look like he trudges up and down the floor. but i'm sure he's still faster than majority of dudes 7'2+

not familiar with this scoot henderson kid either so nice to see him do his thing too. is there a reason why he didn't get offers from alot of top programs and opted for the ignite?
He has NBA potential and I guess chose that over NIL or he didn’t qualify academically which I doubt. A few players each class chose the G league over college. The rockets young star was the last one and a few other guys from that class.

He could've went anywhere. Some kids just prefer the g-league route, it's not seen as a step down or anything.

He graduated early from HS and chose Ignite of his own volition
He would've gotten offers everywhere if he wanted to go to College he was a 5* recruit

Yup. Dude was going to be a top player either way.

As you can see, G League will probably start putting these players up against the best international players from here on out. It's a chance both for them and the international prospects to showcase what they got against each other.

Additionally, those prospects get pro-mentorship, share the court with players who have played in the NBA, get paid, etc. There is nothing any college player can tell you about playing for/against the Jokic and the Nuggets for example, but your G-League teammate can and they can get you set up for learning the league's intricacies.
