Examining the Electric Scoot Henderson | J. Kyle Mann
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 07. 2023
- After the literally and figuratively long shadow of Victor Wembanyama lifted from over the 2023 NBA draft, the teams at the top of the lottery simply had to decide which consolation prize was the best. Before Brandon Miller surged onto the scene, conventional thinking suggested that Scoot Henderson, the relentlessly electric guard from Marietta, Georgia, who starred for the G League Ignite for the past two seasons, was the implied and obvious choice to go no. 2. Now that the Portland Trail Blazers have secured Henderson with the third pick, just how secure is their future? In this video, The Ringer’s J. Kyle Mann breaks down all aspects of Scoot’s game and what his trajectory as a player might be.

J Kyle Mann & scouting season, what a duo
The Mike n Scottie of hoops CZcams
We need more J Kyle Mann could watch this forever
It's joy as soon as I see the artwork! certified bangers by the man, not even in question
Yup.
Agreed
First off, just want to say from one creator to another you sir are a class act in high quality content. Secondly as a lifelong blazer fan of 35+ years I am thrilled to digest this and feel like we have a glimmer of hope still for the future!
Depending on who or what you guys can get in a trade for Damian Lillard will be a crucial role of your future
I think we should be excited.. Anfernee, Shaedon and Scoot are a really solid young core.. Not sure why we let Watford go
Make a song about it!
hoops tube is certainly not where i would have expected to stumble across the og a capella tuber but here we are i guess 😂
We need more of J Kyle Mann, some of the best Basketball content in all of media.
He needs to make more videos. 2 a month wouldn't be too much to ask 🥲
@@MasterAppels The Ringer signed him and then basically had him stop making more than 1 or 2 videos a year. It fucking sucks, kinda wish he'd just go independent again.
@@mcnastyedits What do they even use him for? I haven't noticed articles or anything. Do they pay him purely to pop in on their podcasts? While podcasts are great and all, seems like a waste of his talent as a content creator.
@@shanthi-the-bardI'm a little disappointed that the Ringer repurposed him the way they did too. But he doesn't just pop up on the podcasts occasionally, he's carved out his spots on the ringer nba show and feels like a mainstay now, even showing up on bill's pod realtively often.
@@shanthi-the-bard Yeah that's exactly what it is, he has his own podcast and then he'll do draft coverage podcasts with KOC and jump on other guys podcasts on the network. He's good on the pods, but as you said it is a waste of his talent when he produces videos this good.
Kyle is just butter on toast for basketball youtube
Scoot next to Sharpe is super super interesting for portlands future. Cant wait to see them compete.
Masterful breakdown as always from J Kyle Mann. As a Blazer fan this is a breath of fresh air from the last week.
Agreed!!
feel like scoot and shaedon will be a perfect pair, shaedon providing the flamethrower of an offensive scoring force with his shooting ability and finishing, while scoot being the primary ball handler controlling the flow of the offence
Call me crazy, but I think that duo has the potential to surpass Porter/Drexler as the greatest backcourt in Blazer history.
@@goldenrk9907 I agree
This is why the Ringer’s NBA Draft Show podcast is my favorite show. KOC and J Kyle Mann just being good dudes who are hella smart and passionate about the game. Love it!
My favorite NBA content on CZcams. The moment I see the drawing I know there’s gonna be some heat & funny clips
Scoot is my favorite player in the draft hands down kid is an electric box office talent that can score at will with good defense, cause of his long wingspan 📸🔥
@@Dodge_MorningstarI’m by no means an expert but I feel I’ve watched enough to add some comments, defensively there were a few concerns but when he’s locked in his physical traits make him a very good perimeter defender and there’s definitely a very high ceiling there. He’s not a perfect floor general yet but generally good decision making and timing, and that will only improve as he ages. He’s a phenomenal slasher and isn’t afraid of contact, if his 3 ball and pull up midrange falls consistently at the NBA level he’s gonna be a problem
@@Dodge_Morningstarscoot should have absolutely zero questions about his work ethic or motivation, he's not kobe but he is generational in that aspect.
YES!!! Another J. Kyle Mann video! LFG🔥
Scoot looks good can't wait to set what his trajectory is! But Kyle is definitely in his own league with these videos man. Writing on another level.
Great deep dive on Scoot's athleticism, vision and how he makes it works on offense. I'm definitely a believer in his potential especially if he continues to work on his handles. He has the ideal blend of athleticism and traits to have high level handles to probe defenses in the mid range, draw defenders and split em. He's already on that idea of blending his particular shooting motions with playmaking in part of his athleticism so I'd like to see how he develops that as a pro. As well as his jumper game with on-ball and on the catch may improve as he gets a better feel blending his movement and his scoring looks.
In a time where NBA media is so focused on hating and making hot takes, these videos bring me so much joy. Seriously, any time any of these come out it's an instant watch because of the detail, production, level headedness and just general care. Salute to J Kyle Mann always
Missed this videos! Great to see you back.
🙏
These are a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
it feels like just yesterday I was watching him battle it out in the state championship against wheeler, crazy how time flies
Great video. Excellent analysis and well organized. Enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.
Love your videos, your rythm and elocution serve your humour well, while your research is on point and very thorough, it helps knowing these future NBA stars better.
Excellent vid. Always love J Kyle Mann scouting breakdowns! 👍👍
Can someone make a playlist of all the J Kyle Mann videos. They’re gold
It’s already on their channel my man. Just type in “J Kyle Mann” and a playlist with about 47 videos should show up
That was an awesome breakdown and analysis! Thanks for the video!
Great video man. Very well done!
Really great video, totally agree about Scoot. His Dawg/per 36 is off the charts.
Dime Drop is backkkkk, should include Marvel-esque cliffhangers/post credits on who the next video will be about haha.
Wow, you really have a great editorial style while backing up your position with stats and vids. I'm impressed and now subscriber. Thanks.
Love the thumbnail! St. John’s native here, good to see it getting recognition.
brilliant, as always
Great to have you back Kyle
Awesome breakdown!
Great video super high quality. Would love to see something like this for Brandon Miller!
This is awesome content. Great job Kyle!
Awesome work Kyle!
Was waiting so long for a Dime Drop video, praise J. Kyle Mann
The goat of basketball CZcams is back
i have been waiting for this on since the shaedon sharpe video🔥🔥
The Ringer would be lost without J Kyle Mann. Give this dude a raise.
You are very good at this bro. Cheers
Nothing makes my day like seeing a new J. Kyle Mann video in my feed.
Sheeesh another awesome video from J.Kyle Mann
Nothing beats j kyle mann videos, NOTHING
YOUR BACK!!!
J Kyle Mann needs his own channel. Extremely well done 👏🏾
Awesome video. Can't wait to see Scoot on the floor.
My shitty Thursday needed this. Thank you J. Kyle Mann!
J Kyle Mann just doing what he does bro. Poetry.
"Austere and lonely offices" Love the Robert Hayden reference brotha!
FINALLY A NEW J KYLE MANN VIDEO!!!
I’m a simple man. I see a J Kyle Mann video, and I click. Then proceed to be blown away by the attention to detail and knowledge.
Well done as always
Bill Simmons discovered this man
Hell ya, Kyle Mann vid dropped!
I’m from Portland and very excited!
Jumped a grade to graduate early! 👍
J. Kyle! ive missed you mann
I have the 2nd and 3rd overall pick in my dynasty fantasy basketball draft. Your information is very helpful.
I have not heard of the Rifleman and that is why I continue to watch J Kyle Mann content - for the knowledge and the entertainment
Missed these types of upload.
Truly great content my friend. I honestly think scoot is gonna be nice. I think he'll be great right out of the gate. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins ROY. I think Wemby might take a little while for his offensive game to come around, and the other one I am keeping my eye on is Amen Thompson. He looks super nice. He's my type of guy. Someone who can do a little of everything. I am excited about this rookie class. Also can't rule out Chet making moves.
He is saving his energy for the offense
I like Scoot I think his tools and control are very impressive. However, if he doesn't improve his jump shooting there will be a low ceiling on a blazers team for which he carries are large offensive load. Putting shooters around him will help their floor be reasonably high, but when they go up against teams with big scorers and playmakers leading the way, it's going to be an uphill battle. His polished skillset and NBA-ready body are astounding for someone his age. But it also makes me question just how much room he has to improve. I personally prefer Miller as a prospect as size and shooting are just my most valued traits, but Scoot will certainly be a force.
THE MANN IS BACK
Love you J Kyle
J Kyle i would love to see a video on modern day prospect expectations. I think something that is lost on people is that while prospects are entering the league with insane talent they often very young and the floor/average of league rn has improved like crazy. Only 1 rookie has made an all star team in the last 20 years. Even the prospects that have people very excited still need time to get there.
Is it Christmas? New J Kyle Mann video.
the GOAT is back
J Kyle we need more content from u
Can the Ringer just pls let JKyle Mann cook, his “dime drop” scouring videos are some of the best in the business and certainly the best CZcams content the ringer has apart from pod clips
I liked this video. For the sake of engagement I am letting it be known: I appreciate this video.
It’s J Kyle Mann season!!!
Casual Robert Hayden reference was nice
His voice is like a ice cold sweet tea.
WERE SO BACK LETS GO
the dime drop is back lets go!
that fall at 2:07 is crazy
The scouting GOAT is back
If he gets the jumper steady and makes that left hand serviceable, nobody's stopping him
J Kyle Mann episodes are similar to how I felt when I saw that Chris Ballard wrote the cover story for SI growing up
Scoot chomping at the bit and brimming with confidence in his interviews in Portland.
I think he comes out on fire in summer league action tommorow. And in the regular season. Pumped to show he's the real #1 pick of the draft. Stay tuned.
Love the Jaylin Williams shoutout
amazing work as always J & ngl Charlotte def messed up not taking scoot. This one's gonna hurt for a while
Fantastic tape compilation. Learned more about Scoot than ever. Others mostly only show freak athlete highlights and it was cool to see trends of how he gets to spots and what passes get him in trouble. Surprised you basically ended saying his ceiling is a #2 on a serious contender lol
That's his prediction for right now, he could obviously work into a #1 on a championship team tho for sure. Especially with the right pieces around him.
It really shouldn't be. Go look at the best player on title teams. You basically need to be a top 3-5 player in the NBA which is really hard because you have to be *insanely* efficient. (Compared to league average TS% Jokic was +12 this year, Curry has been +7-13, Giannis was +6 in 2021, Bron has been +8-10, KD +8-10, and Kawhi is 'only' +4-6 and was +6 in the playoffs in 2019)
It's basically impossible for small guards to reach that level of efficiency. Curry is an extreme, extreme, *extreme* outlier. Even Kyrie (who is an all-time great shooter in is own right) only gets to +3-4. Trae is -1 to +3. Russ has been mostly below but was at league average in his prime years. Same for Iverson. Ja and Wall are below league average. Isiah Thomas was always below except one season. So the one time this worked, the Bad Boy Pistons, it's maybe the biggest team building outlier and least replicable championship formula in NBA history. Even Jerry West (+8-10) needed Wilt.
This is the reason you had a huge chunk of people who preferred Brandon Miller. It's nothing against Scoot, but he's 6'2" and can't shoot in a league where the two most valuable traits are size and shooting. And Miller has both.
@@michaelahurt Scoot has an elite mid range. And while that is true Chauncey Billiups also won a championship and finals MVP, Tony Parker was major piece, same with Jamal Murray, Kyle Lowry. And out of all those guards you mentioned Scoot is the strongest, one of the most athletic and has a 6'9 wingspan and is about 6'4 with shoes on. He's built different
@@dre7147 No he doesn't. This myth needs to die. He's 34% from mid-range. That's bad.
Chauncey was an incredible shooter (+6 TS in Detroit) and played with four (!) other All-Stars. He's literally the opposite of what I'm saying. And most of us viewed Ben as our best player anyway. (Although Chauncey was criminally underrated.)
Parker and Murray? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Omg. You can't possibly be serious. You think Parker and Murray are better than Duncan and Jokic?
And Kyle Lowry was also clearly the second best player on his title team behind Kawhi.
Which is the point. No one is saying Scoot is the next Dennis Smith Jr. (Well I'm not anyway and neither is Kyle) just that his ceiling is as a #2 like all the guys you just described
@@michaelahurt this is a good point, I was really surprised bc the narrative outside of this is "Franchise player" and tier above the rest of the prospects outside wemby. Made me expect him to say something blanket like star, all-nba, etc.
I love J Kyle Mann draft vids YEAHHHH
-Ron, The Almighty Rat King
He’s gonna be a nice.. I feel like this what bronny should be lookin like at 6’2 just more passing, better shot.
Scoot physically is a different specimen. Those shoulders are huge and he can probably add another 5-7 lbs of lean mass while keeping his agility. When he masters how to de-celerate and handles, he can utilize similar drive to basket game like Deron Williams. Who was pretty difficult to stop going at the hoop since that dude big at 210 lbs.
What's that music that he uses for the very last few min of this vid?
J. Kyle Mann is really good at his job.
Portland is the perfect destination for him, too. He's gonna be one of the faces of the league in no time.
j kyle mann gotta have the best voice in all of sports media
Sharpe and this dude are going to be a dangerous combo in a year or 2.
need more J Kyle Man videos bruh
Get this kid the guy that fixed Lonzo's shot
Hit shot looks good what do you mean?
Scoot does not have that bad hitch Lonzo had in his young NBA years where he brought the ball up from under and towards his left side of his body at the peak. Which was even worse since if Lonzo chose to pull up dribbling from his right (or even better with his left) defenders just scout to know when he pulls up and swipe downwards at the ball.
You just don’t miss, do you? 👏
J Kyle is the Mann
whhat is the music in the background kyle
Do they have testing in the G league
Blazers fans after the last week of Blazers news: *"Delicious. Finally some good fucking food."*
If he's truly that serious about getting better, he should have that 2-way player pride/mentality. Seems like he could really be a great defender with his length
This writing is worthy of a Pulitzer. I’m currently in awe about all of this. Thank you, @theringer and love to scoot. Salute. 🙏
That Wemby shot 💀💀💀
Awesome video!
We all know how J Kyle feels about big strong hands
