Scoot leads all rookies in personal fouls. That's some good ol' fashioned basketball. Get anywhere near Henderson and he'll smack the crap outta you.

I thought it was not just rookies it was all players?

Regardless he is having a pretty awful rookie year but I'm not giving up on him yet.
I think it's not a good idea to burry ones head im the sand and think everything will be fine,
he has some glaring issues in his game but if he works on them he has the ability to be decent. He might never be a star, but he can be a decent starter one day.

it is kind of sad to see our top 3 pick probably won’t even make the rookie second team.

Will he surpass McCollum? Honestly it'll be a pleasant surprise if Scoot can be his equal.

He kind of reminds me of Emmanuel mudiay.. hopefully he turns out better than him but mudiay had a much better rookie season that scoot has so far.

There's a difference between burying your head in the sand and just looking for the positives. You have some of the most negative takes in this place, it seems pretty miserable. Scoot doesn't just have the chance to be decent one day, the dude has all of the tools to be an all star in this league, he's just not putting them together. The only weakness that I see needing major work is his shot, the rest is just about him not forcing things and that will come with time... seriously the only thing that he needs to straighten out his fouling, errant passing and not finishing at the rim is reps. If Scoot would just calm down all of his problems besides shooting would go away and he'd already be a decent starter but with most guys settling into this league takes some time.
 
If it means anything, Scoot is a great kid and definitely one to root for. I always root for the nice, down to earth players. Saw my daughter in the lobby Tuesday night and came over to introduce himself. Shit, we just met a month ago. Good dude! Hoping the same amount of people on here who had him heading straight to the HOF in September, give this 19 YEAR OLD some time to adjust to this game.

Scoot doesn't 'qualify' because he hasn't logged enough games, but if he did, on a per 100-possessions basis, he's averaging 8.2 PF's. This is that current ranking with Scott added:

Chris Duarte 8.8
Andre Jackson Jr. 8.4
Scoot Henderson 8.2
Jaxson Hayes 8.1
Isaiah Hartenstein 7.8
Stanley Umude 7.4
Paul Reed 7.2
Jae'Sean Tate 7.2
P.J. Tucker 7.2
Charles Bassey 7.1

he's a rookie and he's often defending at the point-of-attack so obviously the officials will be in quick-whistle mode...but still...

Amazing pass... Also the reason he's last in the league in turnovers per/36min.

from everything I've seen, I think Scoot, at minimum, will become a solid starter with some dynamic skills. If he can solve his shooting issues, and ratchet down his turnovers (way down), he'll be a lot better than solid

His biggest issue is finishing. His shooting is already becoming much better. I don't have any concerns with him. He's a workhorse who is literally getting better with each game. He's gonna be great.

I hope you're right, but I do have some concerns.

and I'm not sure his shooting is getting much better; maybe. 269 points on 266 shots is pretty bad. Last 3 games it's 64 points on 59 shots

His three point shoot has been steady improving. He's a tank and he hasn't even figured out how to get to the line consistently. But he will...
 
Scoot being able to see with contacts was the real game changer.
 
I thought they were going to merge the two threads on Scoot?

Scoot can certainly pass the hell out of the ball

Unfortunately, it is still to the other team more than I would like. He's getting better than when he started the season but it is an area of needed growth.

Personally I am fine with turnovers. I want him learning what he can and can’t get away with. His passes into the paint are what separates him from Simons. Anyone can do kick outs to Grant and Sharpe and Thybulle for threes.
 
Not to bash Lillard, but I vaguely remember him espousing how he himself was gonna work on finishing at the rim one off season. Not sure if it was after his rookie year, but it was early in his career. Another season Lillard said he would be working on his three point shot. Yet another on his distance. But I do recall him saying he needed to work on his finishing at the rim. I am positive Scoot will be working on this aspect as well as an entire myriad of facets to his game. The good news is that Scoot has always seemed to be a hard worker, not a talker. If he were a stock, i'd be buying.
 
I used to scream at the TV when a young Scottie Pippen would shoot long outside shots. He wasn't very good at it (shot selection especially). After a couple of years, he turned out pretty good.

Scoot is the real deal. The only thing that can mess him up is poor coaching.
