The full article basically says what @CamWhoaaCamwas saying in let’s see how Miller does with a real PG in Melo and a real threat in Rozier. If he is struggling this bad in March then we should have some concern.

He is too smart for that.

It was majority Stroud. I preferred him as well, but Young wasn’t far behind. I’m all in on him now since our staff is sold on him.

If I remember correctly he is the one a lot of fans wanted…

I’d be ok with Scoot or Miller. It was a 3 player draft IMO and we missed the top pick. Miller made the most sense, but both Miller and Scoot are high ceiling young prospects. I mean Scoot went from 14 points to 16 points per game in the G League so I’d be surprised if he is an All Star his rookie year. His ceiling/skillset makes him an attractive top pick, but Miller is as well. Both players need a decent staff to help develop them.

He was drafted where he was projected to go by many. We need to hire a decent HC and staff to help develop him and many of our other young players. We can’t buy a roster in Charlotte so we need to develop one. Crying about a 19 year old draft pick over 2 summer league games is just premature any way you dice it. Admitting this doesn’t mean someone is following the blind, it’s just logic.

He was the best player in the NCAA. You act like that SC game was it only good one. He helped Alabama get the top ranking before his injury. People need to stop overreacting about Summer League. Guess what? He might struggle as a 19 year old rookie and that’s ok and some what expected.

Pad the box score in a summer league game? Lol. These guys are playing for spots they don’t care what the score is or what quarter it is.

I wouldn’t look too much into it. Scoot is going to be the PG so he will get way more touches. Miller’s PGs weren’t a fan of passing.

This needs to happen followed by Rozier being traded for more depth. A young core of Melo, Miller, and Williams could develop nicely with Grant Williams helping set the tone. Melo, Melo, G Williams, Bridges, and Williams could be a decent starting lineup with Hayward playing the 6th man role.

We need to put him there and we would have one of the tallest backcourts in the league. My main question is can he lock down other SGs? I think he can play good defense against SFs, but SGs seem like a pain the guard.

I missed the end. What happened?

He definitely needs to add to his frame, but fouls are fouls.

He needs to add strength so he can finish through those fouls, but drawing fouls is still effective.

PG is just dribbling to find his next shot…

Miller is trying to bring some life to the team. He needs to stay aggressive.

The offense looks so much smoother when he touches the ball.

Did you mean to quote my Miles comment? I agree with what you are saying in relation to Melo. It’s a player’s league now which is why we need to get serious about building around Melo. It’s why he was there for the Miller workout. We need to hire a good coach to develop these players and get the team competitive so players will stay.

Yeah that’s a fair point. A year of him (minus 10 games) is worth more than what little a team would give up for him.

Now trade his ass. He will be an unrestricted free agent after this year and apparently his agent and the Hornets are far off in agreeing to a longer contract. Might as well get a return while we can.

I would love to sign and trade Bridges. Gets us some value without having him on our roster.

MJ having less influence, Melo locked down for 5 years, and drafting Miller should make it more attractive IMO.

They need to replace Clifford as well.
