Draft lottery talk

[MillionDollarCam]

ESPN’s Jonathan Givony is throwing quite a bit of shade at Brandon Miller.

He said that Miller’s interviews have not been good and he’s out of shape right now.

He followed up with saying that he believes there’s a 60% chance the Hornets go with Miller and a 40% chance they go with Henderson.

He also mentioned that Charlotte will listen to trade offers but is unlikely to trade the pick.

Gotta love the rumors starting this early. Woj is saying the opposite...

I’m not saying Givony is full of poo… oh who am I kidding, yes I am.

Woj>Anyone

A 6'7 pg and a 6'9 sg sounds too good to pass up. We could cause a lot of matchup problems with that kind of length.

 

Melo/Miller/Bridges/Washington/Williams is a crazy athletic/tall team with 4 shooters and Williams cleaning the glass.

Scoot said he can work with Melo. Either way our guards should be set and we might have a guy at center as well. PJ will be better especially with two guards who are elite passers. We might have a decent starting lineup. We need a coach over everything else now. I hope Jordan sells off his majority and the new group decides to fire Clifford.

I do believe the out of shape part. People forget he had a groin injury during the tourney.

 

I had a groin injury my senior year towards the end of the playoffs. I literally had to miss the last game before the state championship. Depending on how bad the groin tear is you can barely walk. I had a pretty good tear and it took me 2 months just to get back right.

 

Miller probably hasn't been working out and probably gained some weight. But he actually needed to gain some weight on his skinny frame so im not sure what the report means he's out of shape.lol

Scoot and Melo can play together but it's not the best of fit.

 

I assume Melo would move to sg because of his height and he's the better shooter.

 

If we draft Scoot we probably going to play at a faster pace. I think a coach like Dantoni would be someone we should look at.

If we have a good HC I’m ok with Scoot and Melo. Miller makes more sense but Scoot is a legit talent and he wants it. fast pace with two elite passers and ball handlers makes it tough on a defense as well. It could be fun as hell to watch.

Yes I want to give this guy millions he is a special talent. He doesn't have a criminal background.

 

What else has he done that im not aware of?

Man feel free to google Miller and research his involvement with whatever is out there.  The Hornets can absolutely pass on him and IMO should.  Off the court is one thing but I seriously think Scoot is the better player.  Having Terry feels redundant but we need to trade Terry anyway.  Miller without any red flags and playing lights out every day would have changed that but he didn’t and wasn’t that guy for many games at Bama including the NCAA tournament.

Miller is at worst immature as hell but I would be worried picking him that high without knowing how much he really wants to succeed in this league.  His talent is really nice, I won’t deny it

A lot of people fall in love with the flashy players.

 

Im fine with Scoot as well, but im a big film guy. Im watching the film and Miller is a more well rounded player imo.

 

Scoot is a ferocious rim attacker and a high energy athlete. That's cool and all, but you need to be able to shoot in this league.

 

Miller is a 6'9 2 way wing. I watched his film and right away I noticed he scores all over the court consistently compared to Scoot. Im a big fan of guys who can shoot. He has potential as a 2 way playmaker. He fits from day 1 and we don't have to worry about moving Melo out of his natural position. 

 

We have a month before the draft so I might very well change my opinion, but right now im confident Miller will be the best pick for Charlotte.

I completely can buy into getting Miller with his skill set.  Like I said on his best days this guy looks like Kevin Durant,  who is basically unstoppable.  It is extremely easy to fall in love with his best game.  
 

Scoot is a lead dog and knows it.  This dude can seriously play all over the court.  Him playing with Lamelo would be nuts.  I fuggin love Scoots potential for long term success.  He can work on his shot no doubt but this dude is just a skilled, A type personality who won’t fail.

Yeah just like Young/Stroud im fine with either. But everyone has their preference and im watching the film and just like I said with Bryce Young the film tells me Brandon Miller has more to his game than Scoot. Miller can play 3 positions his versatility is a game changer. 

 

I think the individual workouts will tell us a lot more about these 2 prospects. I think the picture will become more clear when we see these players in person at the gym in Charlotte.

Excited with this draft…should be a fun process and getting #2 is absolutely god sent.  Scoot get my blood flowing watching him defend, pass and basically look unstoppable in the open court.  Mike lite? lol

[Shocker]

Wembanyama looks so much like Ralph Sampson who could also shoot and was super skilled.  He hasn’t faced tough down low bruisers like he will see in the NBA.  Can he last?  It will be very interesting watching him through a long and grueling NBA season.

He looks a lot like Chet Holmgren if you compare him to current NBA players.  Interesting 

His shooting ability is extremely rare though.  Damn he is a skilled shooter
