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).

https://x.com/NBAcrazystats/status/2120245080019579299

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.

28.2ppg as a rookie for MJ.

I just looked at his splits. MJ was aat 25.6ppg until Jan (31 games) and then averaged around 30ppg (29.8ppg) for the rest of the season (51 games).

Sarr is 10/10 including 4 threes against Detroit.

So is Embiid just gonna go to the ground and flail around and point at his knee every single game now? He did it again today, rolled around the ground acting like he got shot and then came back into the game. I'd hate rooting for a guy like that. And frankly, not all but some of his injuries are definitely because of his own doing with the flopping and such

Cade with (first ever) 50 point, 10 assist, 0 turnover game.

Wouldn't trade White for him though...

Can we trade for Marcus please? Love that guy. (He was having a career year from 3 too just quietly)

Since Cade makes $50M and White $30M, it is a moot point, but I think Cade is better than Derrick White by a fair margin.  Brown and picks for Cunningham would at least have been a possibility, but no way DET does even that trade.  Cunningham carried that team last season.  I don't see them trading Cade and definitely not for White and any number of picks.

Dejounte Murray with the trade demand. Is he still capable of playing good basketball or is he on the Starbury trajectory?

Cade Cunningham IS the Detroit Pistons. They were obviously never trading him for White or Brown or picks or anything.
