Yeah we can have different opinions, but your opinion seems to be more than basketball. You been talking about his off the court situation all throughout this thread. It gets annoying you keep bringing it up.

 

Lets just hope both Scoot and Miller both end up being good picks no matter where they go.

Agreed…but not ignoring off the court stuff.  Sorry, that is short sighted especially considering the recent history here.  That would be irresponsible

Case is closed, but lets talk about it anyway!

 

20 year old kids are irresponsible...

This is true…more a social problem.  I truly hope Miller keeps his priorities straight cuz he is an ultra talented person.  We can’t make decisions for these folks but we can educate them.

You aren’t at all worried that he supplied the gun that killed someone.  I am keeping that out of the conversation as much as possible but it is there.  Stay blind to that and keep making excuses for him vanishing in games.  
 

G league > SEC btw.  A lot better.  Don’t even care though my eyes see Scoot is much better.  Sorry

I’ve spent a little time reading more about that situation and I wouldn’t say I’m extremely clear on exactly what transpired yet, but I will say after even a little digging it appears that the wording in how Miller’s level of involvement was reported seems a bit misleading. Which is where I think statements like he “supplied the gun” come from.

Here’s what I’ve read: he was already on his way to Miles, unrelated to the gun, when Miles texted about the gun. He was unaware the gun was in the car prior to the text. The gun was legally owned by Miles. I can’t find any reporting on what the text specifically said. There doesn’t appear to be any evidence that Miller had any indication that the gun would be used. It sounds like he was simply notified that the gun was in the vehicle. Miles, the gun owner, was not even the one who used the gun, it was a third person.

I think saying things like he “supplied the gun that killed someone” is kind of irresponsible based on what I’ve read of the situation. It sounds more like “he returned a gun to its lawful owner, who then supplied the gun that killed someone.” I will admit that I still have plenty of questions. However, if I had a friend unknowingly leave his gun in the back seat of my car, yeah I’m returning that to him as soon as I know it’s there. I don’t understand why people think he should have held onto a gun which didn’t belong to him and he wasn’t licensed to have.

Man you simply don't understand basketball.

 

You calling Miller a role player when he is already a more advanced scorer than Scoot. 

 

Jump shooting is actually important. You can't dunk every time down the court. This is basketball man the goal is to put the ball in the hoop. You trying to downplay Miller because he can actually shoot unlike Scoot the grasshopper Henderson!

Millers inside and mid range game is sub par for a guy that shoots as well as he does from 3, Scoot struggles from long range but his inside and mid-range is far superior to Miller

I don't understand how this translates to Miller being a more advanced scorer.

Umm most of the NBA is either paint scoring or 3pt shooting.


This is no longer the 2000's. The NBA is about 3pt shooting now.

Don't need to hear about how the league is 3pt shooting centric. Next, yall will be talking about how the league is driven by Centers because of Jokic. If I'm the Hornets, I'm taking Scoot 100% because he is the best pick available. He will open up everyone on the team. Once Bridges wasn't on the team and Lamelo injured , everyone just sat at the 3 point line and shot contested shots.

  

 

If you can watch this and say Scoot shouldn't be the pick, I don't know what to tell you.

Scoot is also taking pointers and working with the Premier 3 point sharpshooter in the biz Curry.  That part of his game could develop quickly.

Yeah and Miller already has a 3 point shot.

 

Give me the 6'9 wing who can play multiple positions and shoot the lights out.

    • Every year it looks like someone does a sales pitch to Tepper and that's what he goes with. It's also why it has been a horror show on the outcome side.  The hard thing about Bryce is he is likable so people not only like him but feel like they need to defend the good guy. If he was a jerk like Wilson was on the Jets then they could just have signed a QB off the heap to try and Baker into the playoff this year while being justified but not with Bryce. I can't believe people let McG scam them. I guess some people have money to burn and like to be sold regardless of reality. 
    • Fun game last night.  Defense on both sides really was good. 
    • alright im going to post seriously here for a second what you are seeing with bryce young is the confluence of some well understood cognitive phenomenon: mistaking what you want to happen for what is happening and working backwards from there (call this working backwards from a conclusion/cognitive dissonance, im sure im mixing up the terms a little here), and getting scammed and defending the scammer (call this the gregor macgregor affect i don't know there's probably a term somewhere, google is unusable.) People who care a lot about the Panthers want them to have a good player at the most important position in the game, and the Panthers gave up a ton to be in position to take one, and they took one, so that must be the good player. There is obviously an overload of available information any lay person can find that they can use to convince themselves that what they wanted was happening. to the lay person, it was aggressively obvious right away that it wasn't going to work out. it was clear halfway through the first quarter of the atlanta game he did not belong in the nfl. a bird's eye view of the season shows at best the second worst season ever. But people who really wanted something to be true cannot accept this, and instead pick apart details or blame things or wishcast into the future or move goalposts to defend it because they cannot accept that what they wanted and what they believed they had is actually....not there. People do this all the time. I've got a patient right now in late stage frontotemporal dementia and her POA just will not listen to me or hear what I'm saying because he was told I'm an amazing provider with inpatient neuro experience and when I look at him and say "you need to understand expectations" or "she has no quality of life" he just refuses to understand what I'm saying. The second is this weird trait we have where if we get scammed, some people will defend the scammer. if you get bored read up on gregor macgregor and the mosquito coast, but basically he was charging people to join an expedition to settle this absolutely poo stretch of land in south america. all these people either died or had to be rescued, but when they returned to their home towns they refused to believe they'd been scammed, blamed other things, or even blamed themselves. This guy was CLEARLY a scam artist but they could not accept they, smart rational people etc had been scammed. This is some weird vestigial evolutionary trait that helped a group of monkeys work together to take the watering hole and no of course there's no modern day political equivalent why you imply such a thing. Panthers' fans were scammed with Bryce Young. Tepper (david or nicole im not sure which) were scammed with him. Obviously it's more complex than one scottish dude drunkenly walking into a bar in Buenos Aires but it's a similar setup. And yes the stakes are lower than moving to the other side of south america but a scam is a scam is a scam. It is very difficult for people to admit that they, ostensibly smart, rational, logical people would believe and buy in to something so obviously rotten so the blame has to go somewhere else. Every problem with Bryce has an cause external to him, and all problems will be solved by /random thing that has happened the specifics don't really matter. Currently it's a guy who no other team interviewed for the HC position. if you read this and your first instinct is that i'm attacking you, you need to take a deep breath and reevaluate some things. this is an opportunity for personal growth and you should take it. surely some people will counter with "well it's just football it's not that serious and why does it hurt to be excited for something?" This is what's called a "though terminating cliche" and is just a cutesy little phrase meant to stop the conversation and help the person using it avoid defending their terrible ideas. and to the person saying "lol wow you typed all this up u mad," <puts poo posting hat back> don't judge what i do by your own limitations. I'm much higher functioning than you and this was neither time or energy consuming for me. This is a casual thought. I am learning not to hold people to the same standards I hold myself, so I don't blame you for reacting defensively out of a sense of wonder and inferiority.
