Scoot Henderson's 'Welcome to the NBA' moment

Scoot Henderson has had a tough rookie campaign for the Portland Trail Blazers.

Scoot Henderson had some pretty big shoes to fill in his rookie season since the Portland Trail Blazers traded Damian Lillard before the start of the campaign. Henderson was the third overall pick in last year's draft, and many were hoping to see him challenge Victor Wembanyama for Rookie of the Year.

However, it has been a struggle for Henderson, who's averaging 13.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. He's shooting 38.0% from the field, 30.5% from beyond the arc and 82.1% from the free throw line.

Despite the hardships of being a rookie, Henderson has had some good performances as a rookie. But the moment he realized he really made it to the NBA was when he faced Russell Westbrook of the LA Clippers.

"My first game against Russell Westbrook," Henderson said last month during the All-Star Weekend.

"Always growing up and watching Russell Westbrook highlights and stuff. He played me and they whooped us and I was like, 'Alright, I'm here now, so let's turn it up a notch."
