We’re still waiting on Henderson to grab on to the starting point guard job with these Portland Trail Blazers and refuse to let go. After all, there was a real debate between Henderson and Brandon Miller for the Charlotte Hornets with the No. 2 pick in the 2023 draft behind Victor Wembanyama.

Henderson has been better lately (13.8 points, 5.6 assists, 2.2 steals, 39.1 percent from three over his last five games), but he still needs to improve his shotmaking ability.

Simons and Shaedon Sharpe have been locked in as the Blazers’ starting backcourt this season. While Sharpe, 21, is going to be a big part of Portland’s future, Simons, 25, is a little older and is only under contract for one more year following this season.
