Maybe that’s the situation, and if there’s a trial a lot more will be known. I’m not a Miller fan and hope he’s off the board at 4. It was the ‘pat down’ pregame move that shouted immaturity and classlessness imo. Driving the car showed bad judgement as well, but he’s a young man and we all made bad judgements at some point.
Its a finessing competitive business when it comes to drafting players. I would get burned on recommendations at youth league basketball leagues when drafting players, always do your own research. It got to a point where parents where bringing excel sheets of stats to draft 9 and 10 year olds.
I would be extremely surprised if Scoot isn't taken at 2. There's just too much value to draft the next (not gun crazy) Ja Morant to pass up on that. Miller or Amen is gonna be left at 4 imo, honestly see Miller landing with the Rox since Portland FO are betting men and gambling on Sharpe last year worked out so well for them. I would be ecstatic if we get Miller btw, would be really surprised if he turns into a scrub/role player. He reminds me a lot of Brandon Ingram tbh and Ingram's pretty good, almost led Pelicans to a playoff spot as the lone star of his team.
"Hey there Charlotte! XXXX reporter here. Ummm...who's on your big board at #2??" "WHY ITS BRANDON MILLER OF COURSE. Feel free to quote me on that!"
Brandon Miller has a valuable and sought after skillset a core of Green, Miller, Bari, and Sengun would be great and they all just so happen to fit well
I don’t like what I saw of Miller against good competition (during regular season as well) and I am nervous that the accessory to murder stuff may not be over. If he does anything stupid PR wise the NBA will come down hard on him. Ja has really put a spotlight on gun bs. I do think he would be a good fit on the Rockets, but I think there are guys in Cam, Jarace, and Amen that will be better long-term.
There is a difference flashing a water pistol or a real gun on IG........but players have been seen with guns regularly......and they kept playing. Arenas.....our own head honcho KPJ in Cleveland.
Rockets need shooting and size especially if Sengun is our long term center. I’m with you on that. Scoot and Amen are fine but I’d rather sign or trade for a vet PG.
On paper that sounds so good. I know Jabari will improve his shooting. If Green and Sengun can bring their avg to 36% this can be a playoff team sooner than later
Miller, Tari and Jabari would be insane wings players for us…good shooter and good defender with length
Currently, no, he is not being charged. If he ends up falling to us at #4 I'm always going to be worried in the back of my mind that something else is going to come out about his involvement, and I'm already not happy with his lack of judgment in being involved in this in the first place.
Why do we need Miller? Who's spot do you all think he is going to take?? Jabaris?? Nope. I hope yall are not expecting us to draft him at 4 just so he can come off the bench. That would be a waste of a top 4 pick. The only position that needs a starter is PG.
