Taking the ball out of Lamelos hands makes absolutely no sense.
Normally I’d agree that Charlotte doesn’t leak stuff, the fact that Woj and Givony are able to describe exact details about both rounds, which were closed to media, says something to me. Means more than likely that someone from Charlotte is leaking stuff.
Kris Middleton that can pass is my comp.
He's definitely getting some 2 guard minutes. Imagine our tall ball lineup…
LaMelo
Miller
Miles
Washington
Williams
That has more defensive and shooting potential than with Scoot. Less flash, but it's hard to name a team with a lead guard under 6'3" without knockdown shooting that does well in the playoffs.
Kyrie shoots
Curry shoots
Murray Shoots
Herro Shoots
Middleton Shoots
Booker shoots
Wall doesn't
Westbrook doesn't
Ivey doesn't
Scoot doesn't at this point.
I think the Hornets are good with either pick, but Scoot doesn't necessarily guarantee a better pick come playoff time
I hope Brandon Miller is great, but damn why do I feel like they’re going to pass on Scoot and then he’s going to become this generation’s Derrick Rose/Allen Iverson?
I still say it, what does Scoot have that we can't get in the draft?
Miller giving me Cam Reddish vibes. Probably a better shooter though
Love the thumbnail 😂 it says everything
Congrats on making it to draft day fellas.
I just want Jordan to let Kupchak choose the player that he likes the most. Don't hurt the team on your way out.
In less than one year Brandon Miller became a long range shooter. He's not being given enough credit for how much he changed his abilities in such a short amount of time. Out of high school he wasn't even considered a shooter. Give the man some credit for working on his game. This is evidence of real improvement
6’2 point guards they can’t she don’t work out in the NBA
If we don't get scoot ima be really pissed
Don't overthink this, take Scoot Henderson.
Scooooooooooooooooooooooooooooottt
I wonder how Clifford feel about it?
This was the best, most succinct argument I’ve heard against Brandon Miller from ANYONE in the media. Good job on that. I like the Ingram comp a lot but I do think miller has a frame that will fill out better than Ingram so I could see Miller ending up somewhere between Ingram and Middleton, it will take time though.
You’ve made every single excuse for scoot LaMelo is clearly way way better to have him playing off the ball
Walker, I’m here as a Blazers fan, who wanted to know things from the Hornets perspective.
Since Charlotte drafts, one spot, ahead of Portland, it’s been nice to hear things from the “Queen City perspective.”
What I never thought would happen is that I would enjoy Doug and your work so much, that I’d subscribe to your channel.
I rarely subscribe to anyone on YouTube.
As a content creator myself, in a very small niche subject of “radio” (not just “ham Radio.”) as well as a shortwave music & news show, I realistically, don’t have a lot of spare time as I also am blessed to take care of an older brother with stage four cancer and dementia.
It’s been exceptionally hard to take care of him over the last three weeks.
Your channel has brought joy, expertise, and “a pleasant distraction” from my life at home.
To you and Doug, THANK YOU!
I look forward to seeing tomorrow’s program. Whoever y’all draft… Embrace them. I’ve waited many years to hear their name called at the NBA Draft.
Let this draft FINALLY BE OVER!!
Best Wishes from the wine country of Oregon,
Larry
Walker I usually agree with you the most on this podcast and I can 100% see what you are saying but the defense in the NBA is just easier to drive in. He will learn driving lanes and let’s not act like he’s not athletic, he was booming on people in college
Does Ja Morant have a great 3 point shot? No but did he develop and did Memphis do what he does best for the start of his career? Didn’t we see Ja hit 6 threes In this past playoffs? Draft Scoot and let him develop
I'd love to see Melo and Scoot from a tactical standpoint. But to me the intangibles matter a lot. The Hornets lack leadership and driven players.
Scoots odds to go #2 are at -900
Scoot is the pick I see. Good for Charlotte
Cannot fathom where the certainty is coming from around Miller. At this point I’ve just chalked it up to wishful thinking 🤷🏻 none of the info that’s been released has given any certainty whatsoever!
Shams just tweeted that Brandon Miller is gaining traction to be the 2nd pick. he is also the betting favorite now.
