The deal, worth $1 million, marked a significant milestone for the talented five-star point guard from Marietta, Georgia.

Henderson chose to forgo his senior year of high school to join the ranks of fellow five-star prospects Jalen Green and Jonathan Kuminga on the Ignite Elite team, becoming the first player to spend two years with the program.

Prior to reclassifying, Henderson was already regarded as the No. 3 point guard, according to 247Sports.
