Why because he can dunk?? And ppl hyped him up?? Watch the film on both please before forming this opinion…

I wish I had the time, I watched every second of the two games between G league ignite and Wemby's French team. Came away super impressed with scoot. Those NCAA games by miller really soured me on him, You gotta have that dog mentality to truly go somewhere in the NBA. Ironically enough I feel like Miller could have a similar career to Gordon Hayward before his leg turned to mush. Great but just doesn't have that mamba mentality to truly elevate others during the post season.

[WOW!!]

Imo this isn’t even close..

positional value, team fit, and potential 

 
A catch and shoot Wing that’s 6’9 with 7’1 length and creating potential .. With a PG like Lamelo?? Really??

[CamWhoaaCam]

DRose/Westbrook/Morant all ringless.

 

You want to sell tickets draft Scoot. If you want to build an actual team draft the 6'9 wing who can create off the dribble and shoot from deep.

 

Melo/Miller/Williams is a core you can build around. They fit together!

If the goal is winning championships, why draft a Russell Westbrook? He couldn’t even figure it out with KD. 

this guy wasn't a three point specialist either. Id take a Dwade clone wouldn't you?

He’s not a Wade clone.. Wade was taller and not a pg..

This^^ 

Are we trying to build a team or force mismatch parts together which will probably end up trading a good player because it doesn’t work..

@WOW!! really knows his basketball. He gets it. This is a shooters league.

Dwade was 6'4 and actually had a mid range jumpshot. Scoot is 6'2 and has no mid range or 3pt shot.

 

Scoot is more Drose and Westbrook. Just elite rim attackers.

This is crazy.. 

ppl can literally look at the playoffs and see the teams with dominant wing players are winning.. Jason Tatum,  Jimmy Butler, Lebron , KD, for years win more then short explosive PG who can’t shoot..

So you watched the NCAA Tournament games and you didn't know he was dealing with a groin injury?

 

He was the best player all year. Then he injured his groin when the tourny started. That's why his stats dipped.

 

CP3 missed playoff games for a groin injury. At least Miller actually played injured. He has that DAWG IN HIM!

The flashy guys fool them every time. Those guys like Morant/Drose/Westbrook sell tickets but they don't win in the playoffs. You have to be able to shoot in playoff games.

 

Im suprised people haven't figured out how important shooting is in today's league. The Warriors built a dynasty off having multiple shooters on the court.

The fact we’re talking about 2 games compare to a whole season.. Where 1 players took a team from top 20 to number 1 ranked team in the nation and a number 1 seed in the tourney is funny..

How ppl don’t notice that the teams with shooters and a dominant wing player are still winning is crazy.. 

Miami vs NY  NY had the best pg Miami had the best wing players..

Who is still playing???

The Celtics are literally on TV all the time…

And I’m a Duke fan and I promise you Miller was a better prospect then Tatum was and the better player in college..
