That's every draft though...there's always questions... but this is tbe best draft in some time now...
Scoots issues will be on the court. He doesn’t shoot well, he doesn’t finish well, and his defense is dog . I don’t buy his HS hype, and I think he’s a back half top 10 selection, if you take the blinders off.

I think this draft could produce up to 4 stars/superstars, but it’s a crap shoot, because it all depends on which players go to which teams. Any player not named Wemby who goes to DET or HOU can probably be considered a developmental write off. They suck at it, but excel at tanking. Hopefully, they tag two of the 3 high bust guys, Scoot and the Thompson Twins.
Definitely for Hendricks.
Really interesting prospect: Long, good shooter and shotblocker.
Dean, who definitely marches to his own analytical drummer, has him at #4 on his substack.
I think Jordan Hawkins from UConn will go into the lottery, maybe even top 10. He hoists nearly 10 threes every 36 minutes and shoots nearly .900 from the free throw line.
He's a bit like Ochai Agbaji for Kansas last year in that he started rising as his team went deeper into the tournament.
Constant movement, super-fast release. Was scoring this year against almost constant attention.

Didn't mention Hendricks because, although his profile is definitely very intriguing (long athletic forward who can defend and shoot 3s at the very least is already an NBA rotation player), it's hard for me to properly gauge him since I haven't seen him play in actual games (pretty much the only player projected in the top 20). So when putting together my top 10 I'm very biased towards players I'm confident I have a reasonably good read on, and that's not the case with Hendricks for me. But yes, he could easily end up being better than half the guys I listed, I wouldn't rule it out.
On Leonard Miller I have mixed feelings. On one hand it's difficult not to be intrigued by a 6'10" guy who's 19 and statistically seems like a reasonably good scorer and rebounder. But I'm not sold on his perimeter game, and if he's a big man in the NBA his size advantage is squashed, and I don't know that he's got any elite level skill to hang his hat on. Also not being able to evaluate him around better talent on a consistent basis puts me off, coupled with the fact I think someone is going to take a flyer on him in the 20s before he gets to us.
So for 2nd rounders I'm keying in on somewhat older players, like Jaime Jaquez, Strawther and Colby Jones. A few of them are likely to be taken by teams in the 20s (like Brooklyn -twice-, Miami, Sacramento, Memphis, Indiana -twice-, Utah), but someone is bound to fall.
the pat down thing was a pregame ritual before that ever happened. yeah its dumb but he's a kid, he wasnt doing to be edgy or mock the victim
Even if that's the case, you'd have to be re ed not to realize the timing was horrible. So either he's an a$$hole, or not very bright (to put it kindly).
Not disagreeing but again, he's a kid. Kids do dumb without really reflecting on it. Like I said Im not disagreeing, it was stupid as , but I'm not gonna pass on the kid simply for making a dumb mistake and exercising poor judgment. Im sure we all did re ed at 19/20 years old
Dunno, man. Being a kid is, like, forgetting to buy milk on the way home. Not forgetting your actions lead to the murder of someone and doing a pregame ritual that's about you packing a gun. That's not even poor judgment, it's a gaping hole of humanity.
brandon miller scored 0 points in a tournament game & his been held scoreless or single digits in several games.........miller is overrated
What kids are buying milk on the way home?that's like something your wife asks you to do that you forget about
Like I said the pat down thing was something he and his teammates did before the situation with Miles and the victim. Yes it's ing stupid but to act like he's a complete piece of because of it...I dunno about that. Like i said, totally ing stupid, but I'm not gonna judge his entire character based on that
Sorry, but are you an idiot?What kids are buying milk on the way home?
He had the dud first tournament game, followed by 19 points, and Bama is still playing. He also literally had one single digit game during the year, against UH and Jarace, who clocks in as a pretty good defender. You can find reasons for not liking the youngster, but scoring output ain’t one of them.
You clearly are. You don't have to be a ing all the time, jack ass
After getting all the details around the Miller situation I have no problems with him. I don't see a problem.
I have yet to see anything particularly bad about Scoot. The kid has confidence. I don't find him to be overly self aggrandizing or pompous. I just think he wants to project himself as a potential franchise player and I respect that.
I guess we could argue that one of the twins could go 4th but I'm fine with Black at anywhere after 4.
I do agree that he's not the "star" we're tanking for but there's no promised picks when tanking anyway. Well, not top 3 at least.
Spurs would be fools to pass on Miller if they miss out on Wemby and miller is available. the fact that a complete re with garbage talent evaluation like Mrs. Body doesnt like him only guarantees he's going to be a star
LMAO. It's not his talent, dumb .
he did the same thing he always does after his friend murdered someone what a horrible human
LMAO I never talked about his talent, you cow-brained up. Man are you dense.
I feel like we're always going to be plagued by the casuals prancing around with "We should draft Brandon Miller" like they have a clue what this team does. I can't imagine following the Spurs and having not a single clue about how the organization functions. It's like slamming your scrotum in a car door over and over.
We're plagued with idiots like you who think their doesnt stink despite constantly having garbage-tier takes (you son of a , im in!) and then act like pompous wads to other posters for no reason. you think you're special because you typed of some long winded thread full of surface level observations and obvious bull because a bunch of idiots here patted you on the back? you're a ing moron and it's not because of your takes on Brandon Miller. its because of your entire body of work is full of and youre a thin-skinned little , you miserable
We're plagued with idiots like you who think their doesnt stink despite constantly having garbage-tier takes (you son of a , im in!
Run along, junior. We're talking the draft here, not the crud that comes out of your ass.
