Unlike these two, Henderson believes he had extra time going up towards NBA-level gamers due to G-League Ignite.
“I’m the most prepared player in the draft. That’s what I say,” he stated.
“The fact that I went there for two years just taught me so much. On the court, as well, but a lot of things off the court. I learned how to be a pro off the court. Just so much time off and just trying to find what to do.”
G-League Ignite’s success in creating NBA prospects
G-League Ignite was based in 2008 and has been serving as a platform for top schoolers and worldwide gamers as their gateway to the NBA with out being too centered on school.
Other high picks from this program had been 2021 picks Jalen Green, who was chosen by the Houston Rockets at no. 2, and Jonathan Kuminga, who was chosen by the Golden State Warriors in 2023.
