Wembanyama is projected to go No. 1 in next year's draft. However, In a recent interview with Stadium's Shams Charania, Henderson explained why he should be the first pick.

“Of course, I feel like I’m the number one player. I worked hard & my competitive side makes you want to be the number one player. It makes me want to be who I am on and off the court. And I feel like I have the number one mentality, " Henderson said.
