When you show up for interviews and the first thing you do is hand out a legal notice that you won’t talk about the gun thing….red flag. 

I’m a little shocked they would even think about taking him with the miles situation as well.

Watch them draft Miller because of fit with Melo then Melo doesn’t sign…..Hornets gonna Hornet 

This is an excellent point. There is no guarantee Melo resigns with the Hornets, so what’s the point of Miller? Where as if they draft scoot, they get best player available and IF Melo does leave, they have scoot to replace him. If Melo doesn’t leave and they take scoot, oh no we have two all stars *sarcasm* we play Melo and scoot and have terrific guards.

Word is Melo wants to resign. Ya can't have two guards who don't play defense and win. Neither play defense well (scoot or melo) it just isn't going to work. 

 

Scoot was likely never to be the pick because of that alone. 

 

Drafting scoot means Melo plays the two and scoot plays the 1. That's just not a winnable position defensively. 

 

Lastly most teams have them rated the same or scoot slightly higher because of athleticism but put most teams at 2 and unless guard was a major sore spot, they gonna take Miller over him.

Scoot based on his play, interviews, and work habits is going to be a star. The kid has the X factor and is driven. Crazy how MJ can’t see some of himself in Scoot but that explains why he has been the worst owner in all of sports. 

I keep hearing this but Scoot playing on cruise control last year is what opened it up to debate to begin with

Scoot is the best G-League prospect behind Wemby while Miller is most likely the best NCAA player. G League players are miles ahead of your regular NCAA players. People trying to dog on Scoot's stats don't realize he meets 5 defenders almost every time he enters the paint. The guy is still dunking on 6'9" players and scoring at will. I still think we are taking Scoot just like the media has us taking C.J Stroud and Will Levis lmao.

I keep seeing that Scoot has some sort of extra drive, lives in the gym, loves the grind, however you want to characterize it. However, 2 stats that are practice/repetition stats for a 6’2 PG: 3pt% and ft%, he’s way below baseline. And he doesn’t have the excuse of being in school and having to split his time going to classes. It doesn’t add up to me.

Now, go watch that vid of Miller swishing 3 after 3. That doesn’t happen without long hours my dudes. He’s a natural shooter who also works on his craft, you can just tell.

Hard to compare them directly with these stats. NCAA 3 point line is closer and they only do one free throw at the line in the G league.

Scoot fans why didn't you pie this video?

 

Im noticing people assuming Scoot is the better talent. Could it be Miller is just a better talent?

 

6'9 wing who has guard skills and can shoot the lights out vs a 6'2 rim attacking guard with questionable shooting.

 

Looking at it from a GM perpesctive I can see why most favor Brandon Miller.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
