Jason Hart has been making the comparison for about a year now. When the coach of the G League Ignite sees Scoot Henderson, a certain NBA player comes into his mind. He reminds Hart of Derrick Rose. That’s high praise. And a high standard. Rose was a No. 1 draft pick, rookie of the year, became an MVP and was a perennial All-Star before injuries changed his trajectory.

The G League’s 22nd season kicks off Friday night, and the biggest draw in the league might be an 18-year-old who already looks very NBA-ready.
