When Wilson wasn't looking to score, he was able to hit cutters and open shooters on time and on target.

In fastbreak situations, Henderson did a good job of filling the lanes and beating the defense to the rim typically leading to a finish or a foul the shot. He showed the ability to take defenders off the dribble to get the rim for and-1 finishes and the awareness to attack open space when the ball isn't in his hands to receive passes around the rim for a dunk.
