Genuine question as he’s pretty much only playing garbage time through 4 games. Seems kind of weird for a young team to not play their 6th overall pick

I never understood the pick even on draft night as he seemed like a poor fit with the roster given his lack of shooting but can Magic fans explain?

Playing time should be earned not given

So why is Scoot getting so many minutes then? I guess shooting 5% from 3 with more turnovers than assists is what earns you playing time in Portland

the only way for scoot to get better and get used to NBA games is for him to play. the talent is there.

If the team loses 60 games, so be it

Scoot Henderson is currently a starter over Malcolm Brogdon, and will most likely be the reason Sharpe goes back to the bench once Simons returns

Malcolm Brogdon is on the bench for durability issue.

If he started, he'd 100% get hurt sooner or later
