NBA Season 2026-27

Ooof, Scoot Henderson's early season numbers

11 games 5 starts 22mpg
8.4rpg 2.1rpg 1.5apg
31.5% FG 22.7% 3PT 44.6% TS

Only 1.5apg in 22mpg for a PG?
That is 2.5 assists per 36min.

The shooting numbers are obviously awful but those assist numbers are even scarier. Apparently the Blazers have been trying to use him more as an off-ball guard this season with Lillard on the team. Not working at all.

He could be a good buy-low candidate for someone. Put the ball in his hands and let him play.

He might make sense on the Grizzlies. They have no real scoring punch outside of Ty Jerome.

Charlotte needs a PG as well.

I saw a Blazers fan commenting on youtube that he was hoping they would trade Scoot to Charlotte for Naz Reid.

Nice combining of 2 rumours.

Naz would be good for the Blazers playoffs hopes. Scott gives CHA a young PG to develop for their future.

The Hornets just traded for Colby White earlier this year and extended him.

Crappy news. He's probably been the one highlight of a dreadful season so far.

Crazy Stats

Darius Acuff Jr. has attempted at least 20 shots in each of his first 10 career games. He became the 9th rookie in @NBA history to record such a streak, and the first since 1983.

Only Wilt Chamberlain recorded a longer such streak to begin an NBA career (19 games).

They have a list below that post but the list seems to be 10+gms at any time in their rookie season rather than to begin their rookie year. Terry Cummings had 10 straight such games midway through his rookie year (games 53 to 62). Kareem. Wilt, Elvin Hayes, Walt Bellamy with multiple streaks. R Barry, Geoff Petrie. Jay Vincent.

Acuff's 288 points are the most by any rookie through the first 11 games of a season since Michael Jordan scored 289 for the Chicago Bulls in 1984.

Only 1 point behind MJ.

28ppg as a rookie for MJ. I just looked at his splits. MJ was around 26ppg until Jan and then averaged around 30ppg for the rest of the season.
