How to Watch: Victor Wembanyama Versus Scoot Henderson
Two of the NBA Draft’s potentially best-ever prospects are set to face off in an exhibition grudge match: Victor Wembanyama of the Metropolitans 92 and Scoot Henderson of the G League Ignite.
Projected to go No. 1 and No. 2 overall, respectively, Wembanyama and Henderson possess vastly different skillsets.
Wembanyama, of the Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92, is a 7-foot-5 frenchman who has taken the NBA Draft circle by storm. With a lengthy frame and preternatural ball skills for his size, Wembanyama is likely the most intriguing prospect many have ever seen.
On the flip side, Henderson is a 6-foot-2, above-the-rim guard with elite burst, athleticism and creativity as a ball-handler. There have been shades of Henderson’s game in former prospects: Russell Westbrook, Ja Morant, De’Aaron Fox. And Henderson’s archetype as a primary guard could leave NBA general manager’s and scouts salivating.
While there's plenty of time left before now and draft night 2023, a matchup of this proportion could hold major implications still. This type of game will stick in most people minds better than others.
