It’s not so much about us. It’s who got the #1 pick. NBA making sure that a generational prospect goes to a functionally competent organization. 

Yeah everyone knows the top pick isn’t by chance. I can see some promise in the 2 pick though.

Nope just social media trying to blame a athlete because he brought his friend his gun.

 

You can't blame him for something he knew nothing about. All he did was bring his friend his gun. You mad at the wrong guy. The who killed the woman is who you should be mad at.

 

Miller will be the pick he passed Scoot on the prospect list towards the end of the season.

 I could definitely  see a Oden/Durant scenario  here!! When you study Miller's game, he seriously has the style of play Durant had but with more weight. Then... Oden was the generational big but couldn't stay healthy. Sign me up for Miller. I'm sure the phones will be ringing tho for teams needing a guard and wanting Scoot.

Think our fanbase highly overrates Ball.

Yeah, it does. The fanbase thinks Ball should be a huge star and the league has shown they really don't consider him one. If the NBA did consider him a star, he would get a lot more calls his way.

I don’t know what to think about Miller’s situation but if that never happened, he would be my #2 easily. We need the guy that can shoot and he can shoot no pun intended. We already have an ethical distraction on the team. Not sure another one is the correct choice.

The good news is he has one of the biggest stages in the world to change that perception and do good with regards to gun violence. 

If he does that, I don't even care how good he is at basketball, he will have my respect.

I think he was cleared that he had no connection other than selling his team mate a gun. Can't really fault him for a stupid decision someone else did.

Maybe it’s just me but the disappointment is even stronger knowing we came so close to getting #1. If we would have stayed at #4 then oh well, it’s where we were slotted to pick. But this poo just feels like a kick to the nuts.

Brandon Miller is the prototypical 6'9 wing with guard skills and is by far the best shooter in this draft.

 

You put him on the wing with Lamelo and let him stroke the 3 ball.

 

People haven't been paying attention to the mocks Brandon Miller passed Scoot up months ago. 

 

Lamelo/Miller/Williams is the future of this team now.

 

Im satisfied with this outcome Miller was always #2 on my board.

It's the Anthony Davis draft all over again

 Hahaha heck no man you would rather be at 4? Hornets would be selecting Gradey Dick or trading the pick away for Westbrook

He actually played his best basketball during that media blowup. That's when he sold me on his game.

 

He had a groin injury in the tourny which is why his stats dipped. When healthy this kid has a game he can shoot the 3 and create for others. He's reminds me of Paul George/KD.

That one hurt bad at the time but this one kills me. One pick away from one of if not the best prospect in team sport history.

I completely  agree!!! That foundation would be so solid!! I'd like to let McGown develop too bc at 6'7 he has some serious  2 guard potential.  I just hope we don't waste money on both Bridges and Pj. Pick one and allow Brandon to step in.  I'd like to upgrade to 1 of these coaches that's fired too.  If Clifford stays and tries to out him on the bench/gleague, I'd throw my hands up!
