You realize that if Miller is a dip and interviews confirm this, that's MORE reason not to take him, right?
And 'virtue signaling' is like 'woke' -- just a phrase idiots use.
Yes, but wish casting a future of miller folding in an interview is not analysis. Any competent agent will coach a top 10 prospect. Too much money is at stake. I say woke because people are arguing passing over miller for stupid pre textual reasons. If someone out plays miller and scoot at the combine so be it.
Historically bad tournaments do no hurt prospects. I assumed this was known.
Top 5 prospects historically do not participate in the combine. Scoot and Miller are unlikely to be part of it.
They used to get weighed and measured, but now they will usually just talk to a few teams in their draft range. Later lottery picks will get weighed and measured. Borderline firsts and solid or borderline seconds will workout, shoot and scrimmage in some combination.
He just played in the French Championship :
26pts (9/16 with 4/6 from deep), 10rbds, 3blks, 2assists
Here is an article (in French) with some highlights :

And did it against grown ass men. Unlike Scoot. Which isn't to say Scoot can't or won't be good, but there's a significant difference in quality between those 2 leagues
you've convinced me. i now think that with the #1 pick, i would take victor over scoot
Sorry, I’m no draftnik and don’t really pay much attention to draft odds and other stuff. Could you explain what you said? Not sure I’m tracking.
Exactly. Before Bama got booted, it seemed like Miller was the consensus 3rd pick although he “making a push for 2”. The board was split on whether they want him for 3 (assuming that’s where the spurs end up picking) or if the spurs would even want him.
Yeah with the Spurs, seems like nothing is off the table based on how they’ve operated the past few years.
No way I trade the #1 pick for Luka. If Wemby doesn't materialize as superstar, I live with it but no way I take the risk to miss out on a potential GOAT and see him in Dallas. Specially for a psychologivally unstable diva would actually didn't achieve anything so far in the NBA and whose bad shape will become an issue over time.
Gimme Wemby.

Scroll down past the useless section with ties included, which isn't a real world scenario. The pre lottery position is the column on the left going downward. The pick odds are the row going to the right, next to each position.
At the spin job going on to protect the great white hope.
Didn't see the Trail Blazers finishing with the 5th worst record which now seems likely. In that case and given Lillard's loyalty and age, I could see them being handed Wembanyama. Either way, I get the sense they'll be moved into the top 3.
The NBA probably cares less about Portland than they do us.

Way too early to say who they’ll pick. Once they eventually do the combine they’ll watch them play and then pick the best player. Done!
Lol.
Wasn't my point and you know this is disingenuous. I'm saying Scoot might not be worthy of that 2nd pick given his compe ion level is shyte in comparison to what a CLEAR #1 is doing against even better compe ion.
Despite the hard fall off in the tournament, Miller was putting up a fied season against very good SEC teams. Outside of any legal concerns, he might be tge wiser choice. That was my unspoken point that I gave the board the benefit of the doubt to pick up on. My apologies for granting that benefit to some here
Yet they gave them Oden in '07 . . . before you bring up Robinson and Duncan, that was before the Spurs became what they were known as.
It's not so much about them though than it is the message it'd send if it'd vault them into championship contention briefly.
I think the unspoken logic is that every single other person here is a moron, but the individual poster, obviously, is a genius. So yeah, giving people some credit for having any knowledge, definitely frowned upon!
And with the 5th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs select Jarace Grant, F from the University of Houston.
Good win Charlotte! Thanks for the try!
Mission completed
According to Eurosport french version, the best franchise for Victor are:
1- Portland
2- Indiana
3- Spurs
4- Orlando

I just read it and the arguments for Portland are lame. They’re stuck with Lillard who seems like he doesn’t give a about being a contender. He took the money and looks happy like that. Indiana makes more sense with Haliburton, but just like the article states, neither Portland or Indiana will get him in the draft.
Any list that starts with Portland is garbage: cursed franchise, awful medical staff, Dame on the way out, score first guards... but they have Nike's headquarters?stupid choice. Orlando also seems like a weird fit, with Banchero and Wagner already on board... do they want Wemby to play center??? Whoever wrote that doesn't know sh!t.
