    Even Steph Curry has bad shooting nights (check last nights game). miller showed some decent playmaking/passing last night. He surprised me with a couple of those passes.

    Quinerly is a talented senior who has a ton of experience and in this very tourney. Most of you have no clue of the big games he’s had. He’s absolutely capable. Of course he should be playing well. Just because someone’s teammate plays well doesn’t mean it’s a knock on Miller. The mental hoops of this board is such a laughing point.

    So with this logic since mark went off for Houston it’s makes walker worse :rolleyes:

    I don't think that's fair. I don't really have any problems with his game, I think he'll adjust to the NBA just fine, I just don't like his fade, hard pass for me there. Yeesh.

    Miller is our guy since we're not getting Wembanyama.

    I thought Miller played pretty well considering he’s not 100%.

    If we trade out of picking Scoot and come out of this with Anthony Black and Gradey Dick, I'm gonna barf in my mouth a little. I can see the argument for doing that if you're going to pick higher-upside guys like the Thompson twins and Whitmore, or to get Jarace Walker, although I still think you just take Scoot and be done with it.

    It's just ridiculous. That GM would never work again in the NBA.

    Scoot is overrated he is a small pg with decent hops and injury prone ok isnt that Fox? Lol.

    Thompson Twins play in a joke league hard pass on Amen, Ausar may be good but I'll have to see them in the combine.

    Miller, Whitmore, Walker, Dick etc these guys should be the pick.

    Tari already likes miller, KPJ called him twin at this point we can already guarantee he is our guy at #3 maybe even #2 depending on how he finishes the tournament.

    I've noticed that more than a few drafts still have Brandon Miller at 3-4, including Adam Spinella. I have seen him overtake Scoot on a few though. I'm honestly excited about this development, because the idea that we could possibly fall to 3rd and still get either Scoot or Brandon Miller isn't so bad. I'll be pretty disappointed if we fall farther than that though.

    I actually think Miller is the best fit if we keep our current team. He could help the guards with some of the ball handling and he would really help our offense with his shooting. Part of the reason our team always looks disorganized on offense is because we have a bunch of brick layers and everyone knows it. His perimeter defense could also help out Jalen.

    I'd prefer to get Wemby but that would most likely lead to some level of overhaul of our team down the road. Miller would slot right in at the 3 and improve us immediately, covering up some of the other guys' warts.

    Do you actually think the front office is consulting a rookie or a guy they're trying to replace (with Harden) for who they should pick in the draft?

    lol i am old enough to remmber people claiming scoot is the surest thing and only scoot and wemby are elite in this year... i knew they were full of bs by claiming this...

    so is your take... none of these players is that more talented than the others... its all just about nuances and sophisticated details...and their quality will fluctuate 100s of times as they get older....just like top 30 in nba fluctuates every year...

    what matters the most is how they are developed after the draft, do they get PT, what coaches do with them, what culture they are raised in etc

    rockets fans should know this....but cf people are able to watch 100-200 bb games a year and still not get any smarter for it...lolol

    must be something in the water or that spray they spray from the sky or the vaxx thats interfering with the natural learning process and getting smarter as you age lolololol!

    most of people here are really incapable of reaching the most basic conclusions with regards to the most basic facts of life, let alone basketball, and put 2 and 2 together....

    Man, I’m having big second thoughts about Miller. This looks like a top 2 heavy draft, not a top 3.

    He’s good but I’d take Scoot 2 and I’d give the rest of the class a good long look before taking Miller 3.
