Paul George Gets Honest on Scoot Henderson

          Paul George is one of the most respected players in the NBA, and his opinion carries a lot of weight. So when he spoke out in support of rookie Scoot Henderson, it was a big deal. Henderson struggled in his NBA debut against the Clippers, but George didn’t hold that against him. “This is not a game to judge him on,” George said. “It’s his first game, he’s a helluva talent. You can tell he’s going to be good. I’m a fan of his game, I like his game. I’ve seen him and watched him for a while now.”

          George went on to say that Henderson is under a great coach in Chauncey Billups and that he’s going to be just fine. He also praised Henderson for being aggressive, even in his first game against a tough Clippers defense.

          George’s comments are a big boost of confidence for Henderson, who is one of the most highly-touted rookies in recent years. Henderson is a dynamic point guard with explosive athleticism and a knack for making big plays. He’s also a very good defender, which is something that George values highly.

          The Clippers are hoping that Henderson can eventually develop into a star player. They have a lot of talent on their roster, but they need a true point guard to run the show. Henderson has the potential to be that guy, and George’s comments suggest that the Clippers believe in him.

          It’s still too early to say what kind of player Henderson will be. But with George’s support, he has a great chance to succeed in the NBA.
