Scoot Henderson on G League Ignite: 'They helped me in a huge way'
“There were multiple reasons that it shut down,” Scoot Henderson said. “But whoever played on the team and made an impact for ourselves and in the world, that’s all you can think about. I really thank the people at Ignite. The little people that you don’t see. They don’t really get enough credit for how much they have to pour into us. The coaches, they don’t get enough credit for having to get guys from high school, to get them up to speed in a few weeks to play some grown men that have children to feed. You don’t see that. You see them getting beat a lot and having a horrible record. You don’t see the things that they go through day-to-day. “From my viewpoint, they helped me in a huge way to be where I am right now. I can’t thank them enough.”
