High school
Edit
Henderson attended high school at Episcopal Academy in Merion, Pennsylvania, where he teamed up with former UNC basketball player, Wayne Ellington. He also lettered and earned all-conference honors in golf as a freshman and stratch golfer, and was two-time league champion in the high jump and triple jump in track and field.[2] Gerald was ranked as the 18th-best high school senior by The Recruiting Services Consensus Index.
CollegeEdit
After an uneventful freshman year seeing limited playing time off the bench, Henderson moved into the starting lineup as a sophomore and averaged 12.7 points per game. During his junior year, Henderson moved into a key leadership role for a Blue Devil team lacking much in the way of senior leadership; Henderson did not disappoint, leading the team in scoring 16.5 points per game on the way to a First-Team All-ACC award and ACC tournament championship. Henderson's important contribution helped Duke to a 2nd seed in the NCAA tournament.
NBAEdit
Henderson decided to forgo his senior season and enter the 2009 NBA Draft where he was drafted 12th overall by the Charlotte Bobcats.[3]
On July 8, 2009, Henderson signed a contract with the Bobcats.[4]
On October 29, 2010, Bobcats picked up the third-year option on Henderson's contract.[5]
