I don't see it either, a short athletic guard who can't shoot. Guess I'm missing something. It's like wanting Westbrook over Curry or Durant.

It’s like @WOW!!said. Scoot’s marketing team has him hyped up for years now. He actually didn’t progress as much this year as people projected but no one seems to care. He is a highlight reel which is what most of his fans see, but a 3 and D 6’9” shooter who has handles is a much more rare thing to come by. We already have a taller Scoot in Melo.

So Scoot has the "it factor" because he's athletic and can dunk on 6'9 defenders?

 

No disrespect, but if that's your reason for having the "it factor" then half the NBA has those players. 

 

Scoot needs to develop a jumpshot. All that dunking is cool, but to win games you need to be able to shoot the basketball. Miller is arguably the best shooter in this draft. When you need a bucket Miller will always be a threat because of his shot making ability. 

 

Scoot is the more exciting player, but Miller to me is the better overall player at 6'9 with guard skills and 3pt shot making ability. I think he will end up being a better player when all is said and done.

Harold Miner should have been the best SG ever by that definition…

Yes .. I like Scoot as a prospect but the analysis of his talents have gone overboard and possibly could set this kid up for failure.. Just based on living up to unrealistic expectations..

Exactly!

 

We as fans fall in love with the athletic rim attacking guards. I get it they are fun to watch, but every single one of them have never won a championship. They simply sell tickets and play exciting style basketball. At the end of the day can you shoot the basketball and make shots in late game situations when teams pack the paint to stop you from driving. It all comes down to is shot making.

Yes and the reality ppl don’t talk about is once the athleticism goes.. That player becomes a bad contract or a backup journey man.. If they don’t add the other stuff to their game..

This could have happened to us.. If you drafted Scoot .. Lamelo would have the same thought process.. You’re bringing in a PG when you already have a PG.. So taking away from both players being at their best.. 

Yep and Melo just extended with us. Miller is a much better fit and equal talent.

I agree but what if Scoot ends up being the next Air Jordan?

That would be truly incredible and something most people didn't see coming.  That's not a reason to draft a player one similarly ranked at a position you already have filled with a great player.

      Benjamin Solak on Panthers draft needs

      Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      By strato · Posted

      I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
