“He’s a bust”: NBA fans react to Scoot Henderson notching up unwanted NBA record

Despite playing in the Portland Trail Blazers’ 142-82 loss to the Miami Heat on Friday night, Scoot Henderson still managed to break an NBA record. The rookie had a -58 +/- rating, which has now become the lowest in NBA history. Fans of the league took notice of Henderson’s unfortunate achievement, with some labeling him as a disappointment.

According to various sources, Henderson achieved the lowest +/- rating ever during the 60-point loss to the Heat. Despite scoring 20 points, grabbing seven rebounds, dishing out six assists, and recording two steals and a block, his overall stat line was overshadowed by his -58 +/- rating, surpassing the previous record held by Manny in 2011.

Henderson shares the third-lowest +/- rating in NBA history with Miles Bridges and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, all having a rating of -56. This record was achieved by the third overall pick from this season’s draft on Jan. 11, during the Blazers’ 139-77 defeat against the OKC Thunder.

Despite a difficult start to his first year in the NBA, Scoot Henderson’s unwanted historic night received a strong reaction from fans. Henderson has struggled to adapt to the fast-paced game and has also faced some injury setbacks.

This was stated by a fan:

“He’s a bust.”

One fan was quoted as saying:

“He’s been the worst player in the league this year.”

One fan also mentioned the period when certain NBA analysts predicted Scoot Henderson would win Rookie of the Year over Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren before the season began.

“Some talking heads swore he was going to win rookie of the year and they meant it.”

Scoot Henderson’s Impact on the NBA: A Rising Star’s Journey

Despite being just a rookie, Scoot Henderson faced high expectations as he joined the Portland Trail Blazers, who had traded away their star player Damian Lillard before the season began. As the third overall pick in the previous year’s draft, many had anticipated Henderson to compete with Victor Wembanyama for the title of Rookie of the Year.

Despite his efforts, Henderson has faced challenges while maintaining an average of 13.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. His shooting percentages stand at 38.0% from the field, 30.5% from beyond the arc, and 82.1% from the free throw line.

Despite facing numerous challenges as a rookie, Henderson has managed to deliver some impressive performances. However, the defining moment that solidified his position in the NBA was when he went head-to-head with Russell Westbrook of the LA Clippers.

“My first game against Russell Westbrook,”Henderson said last month during the All-Star Weekend.

“Always growing up and watching Russell Westbrook highlights and stuff. He played me and they whooped us and I was like, ‘Alright, I’m here now, so let’s turn it up a notch.”
