Brandon Miller just had his workout with the Portland Trailblazers a week before the NBA draft and was exceptional. Showed off length, versatility and shot making ability

Brandon Miller is an amazing talent he's a elite scorer with great defensive prowess, he reminds me of a Paul George/Tatum type of forward 🔥
As a die hard Blazers fan, I'm hoping that we draft & keep either Scoot, B.Miller or Amen. I'd love for us to be able to land one of these 3 studs. I waiver back n forth on the order in which I like them. They're all going to succeed at the next level..🤞🏽

Bro Bro, U spot on about my Blazers & whether they should trade the pick or
N🚫T. I like Amen T, B.Miller & Scoot in no particular order. Draft one of them and watch what one of them 3 do with SS17 (Shaedon) who's always clear for takeoff ✈️ I been a BLAZERMANIAC since the 80's. I think it's time to end Dame Time in the🌹City❗

Oh & … SUBSCRIBED‼️GR8VID' 💯
Portland has to come to grips on reality. They were bad this year with Dame, so why not trade him to keep building? Take Brandon alongside Sharpe and Simons and Dame will get them something of value.
His release is low, but so is Steph Curry’s.
I LOVE Dame, the Goat, and the Blazers, but they got some potentially really rough decisions ahead.. I believe Miller has the length weve been looking for as an upside defender, he is a smooth sharp shooter from three and mid range, with growing ability to handle and drive to the bucket, 3 level scorer.. This guy was trusted to carry the scoring load as a freshman for a top college program and competes to win. He seems to also be an unselfish player and does not require the ball to be productive.. translation is he would pair great alongside Dame potentially, and I do believe he could affect winning right away.. we still would need to make at least a few other key roster moves tho to compete this year, but Miller could be multi year all star talent potential, easy imo #GoBlazers #MillerRising
And this is what I don’t understand the organization is doing all this for lillard cuz he’s bitching and crying for help help help but he’s not staying healthy like he missed damn near all of last season majority of this season like we build around you and then you go down or like you said didn’t even make the playoffs and had a good team to get there at least play in bro I think lillard is using that as an excuse man frfr this not having no help shit brah stop it you the leader you the guy there and also jusif he don’t stay healthy for shit either man smh
I think they end up keeping the pick and trying to use other assets (draft and player) to bring in veteran talent to satisfy Dame. I doesn't sound like there is going to be a deal out there that is going to make the Blazers jump off the pick. Whether it's Scoot or Miller. All the deals that have been floated or reported on have their drawbacks like it will take more than the 3rd to get the guy they want. Just not enough value given to the pick to make them bite. We'll see.
As a Blazer fan I am glad to hear someone else thinks it would be crazy to trade the 3rd pick away this year!
His shot form/ release reminds me of booker 🔥
Funny how teams are selectively telegraphing Intel.
Scoot wows Hornets at workout
Miller wows Blazers at workout.
Translation: To teams interested in trading up, table your Kings ransom ASAP.
The Blazers have to be thinking about the new "Repeater" tax penalty clause when it comes to deciding roster value. These rookies with their small contracts add great value per their development and how much they cost, relatively next to nothing and increasing the available salary slots for trades and FAs.
Born and raised a Blazer. The biggest obstacle is Jody not selling the franchise. I found out why she is hanging on. The way the trust was written out she would get no money on the sale. So she found out her only way of getting money on the blazers is putting herself on a hefty salary 130+ mill per year why she does nothing. That's why we never come close to the luxury tax since Paul Allen passed. That being said we have a legit generational talent in Dame. Not just talent but loyalty to the organization. People think just because they can clear that money up from Dame get new pics has an extremely low chance of every being close to the same level of Dame. Also most of the players now jump around from team to team. Just because guys are young doesn't mean they will hang around. By sending off Dame we could be terrible for years. Especially with an owner that doesn't care about the team. We need a year more to throw it all in for him. He really gave it his all to stay in Portland. We need to give him at least a punchers chance
This dude is cash money, the Trailblazers would be nuts not to keep him
Dame hasn’t really played with a 3 who can hit a corner three. Miller rebounds, too, he and Sharpe will need to, to make up for Grant. Maybe Portland will finally put another good team around Dame.
Sorry don’t see anything truly special with this kid.
He’s not laterally quick. He’s not fast. He doesn’t have an unreal vertical. His dribble is high.
All I see in this video is a really tall wing player dribble up the court and dunking. And making a few wide open shots.
His releases isn’t impressive.
I know he plays a premium position but he doesn’t project as a secondary playmaker meaning I would not draft him that high.
The range I start considering of player of his skill set is the magic at 6.
If I’m the blazers I pray to God that Charlotte takes Miller so I can run to the clock with my card.
And if scoot is not available I’m comfortable either taking amen or trading down to 5 or 6 for a future pick.
Amen had way more athleticism without sacrificing much size. Playmaker. His shot will develop.
Brandon Miller is the complete opposite of silky smooth bro.
None of his motions are fluid. He’s not even hurky jerky smooth. He’s just tall and long with a high percent college 3 and defense.
That’s a solid top 10 pick that will probably project as a 10 year player.
But in the territory of top 5. Especially top 3. You better be offering some playmaking or unreal athleticism because that’s when you’re drafting a player who the opposing team is game planing to stop and your own Team gravitates around for offense.
Even in the best case scenario: Miller develops into Mikal bridges. I love Mikal to death. He’s one of my favorite players in the league. And even he’s not a top 3 player in most drafts.
Look at Mikals draft.
You’re still drafting Luka, trae, jaren Jackson, and shai above Mikal. Possibly even Simons or Brunson depending on need.
And we’re talking about a hell of a 2 way wing. That’s best case scenario.
I’m sorry but top 3 you have to prioritize an offensive to playmaker. And if there’s not an alluring enough player there you either trade the pick or you draft a big who will be your defensive anchor
Good he'll be there for blazers to take
Not impressed
Here’s hoping as a Blazers fan, that Portland keeps #3. I hope it’s Miller. Best fit is a gift as the “best player available.”
He fills a HUGE NEED for the Blazers if Scoot goes #2
How did he "excel" based on the video. Very basic workout. He has poor dribbling. Set shooter….deep bench.
