NBA Mock Draft: 5 Prospects that have franchise-altering potential

Scoot Henderson, G, G League Ignite

For the majority of the season, Scoot Henderson has been viewed as the No. 2 overall prospect behind Victor Wembanyama in this year’s NBA Draft. Could that have changed over the last couple of months with the emergence of Brandon Miller? Perhaps, but that says more about Miller as a rising prospect than it does about Henderson. The bottom line: Henderson’s draft stock hasn’t exactly tanked recently. And it’s hard to see that it will.

Once teams get an up-close look at Henderson, I believe there’s a greater chance that they continue to fall in love with his game than they are turned off by it. Henderson is an electric athlete and has drawn comparisons to recent generational point guards such as Ja Morant and Russell Westbrook. Will he be those players at the next level? Unlikely considering how each of those players has changed the position. But that doesn’t mean he still can’t be a franchise-changing player.

And if he can prove he has the potential to develop a consistent 3-point shot, he’s going to be viewed as a potential superstar before he even steps foot onto an NBA court.
