For real. They don't seem to run their offense through him at all

Some team is gonna get a hell of a consolation prize in Scoot.

Scoot is definitely a baller though! Yeeesh...

It’s cool that Las Vegas/Henderson is home of the Ignite. Glad the G League is getting some exposure.

Scoot Henderson reminds me of the player that DaJuan Wagner should have been if he didn't have health issues.

I'd take Scoot first, just can't trust a guy that tall.

It's kind of like Ja vs Zion all over again except I'd have more faith in Zion staying healthy than Wemby.

Scoot is very very good

Armchair quarterbacking, but I swear he's missed several easy passes to VW rolling down the middle.

Scoot's swagger is leaping off the screen. What a baller. Reminds me of Westbrook.

Scoot Henderson looks incredible. He's clearly outplayed everyone on the court, yet I don't see how you could pass on VW. He looks unreal watching him live even though he's very raw still. Either way whoever gets the second pick can rest easy knowing they are getting a guy who would go #1 in any other draft.

Utah Jazz fans wouldn’t mind having Scoot.

For anyone who doesn't know G League ignite is specifically for highly rated young prospects. Scoot makes $500,000 a year and gets a full scholarship to Arizona State to use in the future.

The past two seasons they've only played exhibition games against other g league teams, but they'll be playing a full G League season this year.

The G League Ignite & Mexico City (Capitanes) did play in the 12 game showcase cup that ended in a mid season tournament in Las Vegas before they reset the season.

I like that Wembanyama isn't forcing the issue. He's playing within the team concept. A less mature player in his position might get careless trying to compete with Scoot.

Really alert on defense too, you can see him constantly checking the paint for opportunities to go in for a block from the weak side.

It's surprising, but as the "professional" team in this matchup (as opposed to the development team), this Metro 92 team has terrible shot selection. I think their players are getting caught up in the hype.

PhilBlackson · Post #37 » by **PhilBlackson** » Wed Oct 5, 2022 2:58 am

Any team that gets the 2nd overall is gonna be relieved that they don't have to deal with the fear of health with Wemby but still have an almost guaranteed star.

Jet lag, different rules, unfamiliar court. They were always going to be the underdogs.

Wembanyama may not stuff the stat sheet tonight, but he's making a visible impact on both ends of the court. Hard to believe how much ground he covers on defense.

These G-L Ignite games seem to be getting good crowds for the D League lol. Good to see.

Yeah, on offence too. That drop step move he had early on covered more ground than I've ever seen on a half-court offensive move. It's a little ridiculous.
