So, was Scoot Henderson snubbed?
To his credit, Henderson got much more comfortable with the NBA's level of play and speed of the game as the season progressed, which is what you want to see from any rookie. Towards the end of the season, head coach Chauncey Billups gave Henderson an increased role, and the rookie took advantage of the opportunity.
Post All-Star break, the Blazers guard increased his averages to 16.6 points, 7.1 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game on 40/35/82 shooting splits (although with 4.5 turnovers a game).
Henderson's end-of-season play gave the Blazers a lot to be excited about looking forward to next season. It was reminiscent of Shaedon Sharpe's finish to the season prior, as the two rising stars seemed to be getting more familiar with the Blazers system and how to utilize their athleticism to get to their spots better on offense.
If Henderson's post-All-Star productivity had been throughout the season, he would've deserved a spot on the All-Rookie team. But considering Henderson's entire rookie year, he wasn't impactful and consistent enough to consider him a "snub."
