EDGE Analysis
Though Portland dropped its 60th game of the season, the organization should be happy with Henderson's progression down the stretch after selecting him with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft as Damian Lillard's heir apparent. Henderson's season-long numbers are still marred by inefficient shooting from the field and three-point range, but he's made dramatic strides while starting in each of Portland's last 14 games. During that stretch, Henderson is averaging 18.9 points, 7.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 three-pointers and 1.4 steals in 34.2 minutes while shooting 40.8 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from distance.
