Scoot Henderson dismisses claims he can’t play with LaMelo Ball

The Charlotte Hornets are set to pick up the player for the No.2 draft and all eyes are on them as to what would be their choice.

The two main candidates are Scoot Henderson, who plays the G League Ignite and Alabama’s Brandon Miller. But the Hornets already have a point guard in LaMelo Ball, which makes it unlikely for Henderson to join.

However, he was adamant that doesn’t affect his desire to play alongside Ball.

“I think I can play with anybody,” he said.

“I’m not too ball dominant. I do multiple things that impact the game, and wherever I go I’m going to be a winner. I’m going to keep that mentality in myself. Whatever team I go to, I’m going to impact the community and impact the city, and I’m going to impact the locker room.”

Henderson has averaged 16.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists this season. The 2023 draft is scheduled for June 22.
