Hit the gym to play sf?

 

He's a wing bro, he's not guarding Jokic or Embiid. This is a 3pt shooting league he can play sg/sf/stretch pf.

I said start I said. He is 6'9" and under 200 pounds. The average NBA SF gonna have 20 to 30 pounds on him.

The elephant in the room nobody is adressing is we already have a Scoot kind of player with Dennis Smith Jr.

 

DSJ emergence last year is yet another reason why I think the pick will be Miller. 

If Kup settles on Miller I think this is one of the reasons.  Maybe he is also confident they can resign Lamelo.  I totally hear the fit being better with Miller on the current roster.  I think Scoot is better and I take him but the argument is strong.

DSJ no where near the caliber of Scoot and he is also 18.  Dennis is going on 25 and while I was impressed with him here, I don't think he is a quality starter.  I am cool with Miller coming here but I just see Scoot becoming a franchise player alongside Lamelo.  DSJ also was only on a 1 yr contract and was playing for peanuts so I don't see us resigning him unless he doesn't ask for a lot of money.

There is no way that any competent GM in the league would ever say DSJ is even a sliver of a reason not to draft Scoot. Either we are completely overvaluing DSJ or completely undervaluing the potential in Scoot!

Yes, the idea of a 6'7 PG paired with a 6'9 SG (Miller) is enticing, I am worried about him being able to keep up with the quicker SGs that the league has. He also doesn't have the strength for the stronger SFs. We are going to have the same issue pairing our 6'7 PG with a 6'2 (Scoot) shooting guard but for some irrational feeling I do feel better even on defense with the Melo/Scoot backcourt.

Miller is not gonna be able to hang with a lot of SF that aren't too small actually. And he is gonna have to hang with faster or bigger shooting guards.  There is gonna be adjustment for both prospects but Scoot can play PG or SG from day one.

Again he is a wing.

 

Those weight problems are for the 7 foot guys who have to guard true bigs. Miller is not banging with big bodies on the perimeter.

 

KD had a hell of a career being tall and skinny wing.

Yeah despite what some may think I said from the beginning if we pick Scoot im totally fine with that. We all have our preferences but either way we going to get a pretty good player.

I said he's Scoot like. Obviously Scoot has a higher ceiling.

 

I am also cool with Scoot coming here. We just both prefer the opposite guy.

They said the same thing about KD.

 

Not saying Miller will be KD, but he has the same kind of frame coming out of college.

Anybody find it odd that all these reports about Brandon Miller being bad at interviews yet when you watch his interviews he seems pretty well spoken for a 20 year old.

 

That tells me teams are trying to tank his value so he can drop we already heard rumors Indiana wants to trade up for him.

 

Something not right because when you watch his interviews it doesn't match the reports out there. I wouldn't be suprised if Miller is indeed viewed as the 2nd best prospect in this draft.


I have yet to hear teams are trying to trade up for Scoot yet.

Obtaining the talented Scoot would be huge, in my opinion.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
