I think most people are referring to his stats, which are not good for 3 pointers or free throws

So you think shooting is all about 3s? The dude has a solid mid range game and knows how to create the shot off dribble with great form. You know who else stats says they werent good at shooting 3s before draft?......LAMELO BALL.

Now throw in the fact that Miller can play and guard multiple positions and our only star plays a very similar role to Scoot, Miller seems like the right choice.

Why this is even a debate after literally The NBA is a 2 way wing league is crazy..

I don’t care about him being a smaller Demar Derozen if he can’t consistently knock down the 3 at 6’2 it’s a waste when we already have a all star pg..

Its not one game...wtf?? Just say you dont know much about Scoot at all. Jesus christ.

I know about scoot then you and all you are showing is mid range jumpers which in the nba “of today” is a low value shot..

Mid range players don’t create space and at 6’2 getting your midrange jumper off is a lot harder with bigger longer wing players guarding you like Miller.. 

Just say you don’t know basketball!!!

The only way Scoot and Lamelo works is

1.Lamelo becomes the 2.. You take the ball out of his hands and he becomes Reggie Miller or Klay constantly running around picks… 

Problem with this is Lamelo not a good defender and will become more like Jj Redick or Kyle Kover .. Plus he is pretty much 1 of the best passers in the league so giving that up is dumb…

2. Scoot becomes a better version of CJ Mcclcomm (a knock down shooter scorer) who also is a elite defender and can guard players like Jaylen Brown, James Harden, Jason Tatum, pretty much the best 2,3 wing players in the league.. 
 

Problem is he isn’t a good defender now.. Plus he’s short to be SG and pretty much puts us in the same position we’re in with Terry Rozier starting (with a worst shot of course)..,

Yeah you right, its low value and wont help. Shai Gilchrist Alexander, Devin booker, Colin Sexton, De aron Fox, Kemba Walker, Jimmy Butler all struggle with it and can score with the best of them. These guys are short and taller players and clearly cant get their shot off over longer wing players. Jesus....You are not even worth the time to debate this and probably barely even watches the nba.

If Miller had Tatum’s athleticism (Miller is still a good athlete) and elite ability to create of the dribble and get to the rim then Miller would be the pick no questions asked.

I think if you draft Miller then you just work on his iso game and add some weight to his frame so he can finish better at the rim.

All other aspects of his game are NBA ready.

As for Scoot, I don’t hate him and I think he’ll be a fine NBA player but elite wings run the NBA. LeBron, Jimmy Buckets, Tatum, those are the guys that are leading their team’s in the playoffs. It’s just extremely difficult for a guard to impact every facet of the game like a 6-9 wing can.

I’m glad you put Colin Sexton on your list because that’s a apt comparison..  (Shai, Booker and Butler are all bigger players (big difference) And Fox and Kemba only got rated higher when they hit the 3 consistently) So those examples don’t fit..

Now back to Sexton .. If roster construction don’t mean poo.. Why didn’t the Sexton, Garland back court work?? If having super athletic Combo guards (who can’t shoot 3’s consistently)are so effective why didn’t Cleveland keep Sexton with Garland??

This^^ 

it’s not even a mystery anymore.. You either have a dominant wing player or you’re not winning consistently..

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
