Henderson is clearly confident in himself and has every reason to be right now.
He has averaged 12.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game this season, shooting 42.7 percent from the field and 35 percent from the <a href="https://sports-info.online/2025/01/14/nba/fans-were-roasting-tyrese-haliburton-for-his-performance-on-thursday/” title=”Fans Were Roasting Tyrese Haliburton For His Performance On Thursday”>3-point line.
Last season, he posted 14.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
This season has been a bit of a mixed bag for Henderson because he has had both good and bad nights.
He has scored double digits in certain games and then has managed single digits in others.
But he has been more consistent lately, and that is drawing a lot of attention and making Portland fans hopeful.
This season is may be completely lost for the Blazers, who are 13th in the West with a 14-28 record.
However, most people didn’t expect them to have a lot of success, so fans are paying closer attention to who is doing well and who is showing potential for the future.
Right now, Henderson is full of potential.
There has been some criticism about him since he entered the NBA last year, but Henderson believes in himself and wants to show that he’s one of the best young stars in the league.
If he keeps playing like this, many people will think that.
