Henderson, who bypassed college basketball to play for the G League Ignite program, has explosive athleticism that should land him in the first three picks.
AP Basketball WriterInstead, the explosive point guard who bypassed college is among the top talents lined up behind generational prospect Victor Wembanyama. He’s also the top guard in AP’s NBA Mock Draft, a position featuring plenty of athleticism and upside with lottery prospects including twins Amen and Ausar Thompson.The 19-year-old from Georgia has athleticism that jumps out immediately, drawing comparisons to Russell Westbrook after spending two years with the G League Ignite program.
Amen – older by 1 minute – is considered the more developed passer and playmaker, while Ausar has shown a range of shots from a hook to a mid-range floater and might be the better defender. Ausar was also named league MVP. Both measured around 215 pounds and roughly 6-6 without shoes at the NBA combine.They’re still honing their outside shots to become more consistent, and they’re preparing to be truly separated for the first time in their basketball careers.
