SALT LAKE CITY — Scoot Henderson will have a ready guide to show him around San Antonio should the Spurs wind up drafting him in June.Considered a transformative prospect second only to French star Victor Wembanyama in this year’s deep crop of future stars, Henderson got to know Sochan last summer at the “The Sanctuary,” the National Basketball Players Association’s performance retreat in Spain.
Sochan and Henderson could meet again this summer should the Spurs wind up selecting the 6-foot-2 guard from Marietta, Ga. One of those “young guys” is Sochan, who is 19 like Henderson and is enjoying an impressive rookie season averaging 10 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists. While they are honored by comparisons to NBA stars past and present — Sochan to Dennis Rodman and Draymond Green; Henderson to Derrick Rose, Donovan Mitchell and Russell Westbrook — they strive to be their own person.
“I just keep swiping, keep going,” Henderson said when he comes upon social media items about the eagerness of teams to select Wembanyama No. 1. “I think I’ll be that, for sure,” he said. “I can’t speak on what Victor is going to be. Of course, he has tremendous upside with his length and his ability to score in all areas and play defense. But I control what I control. I want to be that.”
