It's gonna be Wemby 1, Henderson 2 and freaking Amen going to the Blazers at 3. I don't want Miller man. I'd rather take Ausar or Jarace Walker at 4 than that sucker.
Ausar looks pretty good doesn't he? Miller is an upgrade over Jabari i think. Pretty much better at every areas tho he's not exactly mouthwatering. I'd consider taking him since there's a good chance that he would immediately make us a better shooting team but this draft class sucks for you if you are not getting one of Wemby or Scoot. Last year Sharpe was 7th, Ivey was 5th overall pick. Far more exciting prospects than anyone after 2nd this year.
If you forget about what they've shown in the NBA and just look at them as prospects around the time they were drafted, Sharpe would go outside the lottery in this class, Ivey would around the same spot as Ausar (so somewhere in the 5-10 range).
Yeah but just think if you got Ausar who is already a solid defender then Udoka's coaching can make him an elite defender. I don't believe their coach told Ausar to be a good defender and then told Amen to be a bad defender and ball watch the entire time lol what?
Ausar is def an amazing prospect. Jabari is better than Miller cuz he is a good defender and can play 3-5, also more athletic and can handle contact better than Miller. Miller is like an unathletic Kevin Durant imo. Still pretty exciting but there's Def an element of bust.
Point forwards play in the paint. In your 6'5 guard list they only got listed promising once they started shooting. Lonzo Ball - got called a bust in LA on till he fixed his shot MCW - bust Josh Giddey - 32% 3 pt shooter now Markell Fultz - 31% 3pt shooter now, got clowned cuz he lost his shot Stephenson - always been a joke player, known for blowing on Lebron's ear Shaun Livingstaun - not a 3 pt shooter but was a solid mid range shooter.
Miller was playing with a groin injury and also had the shooting drama. Prior to that he was consensus best prospect in NCAA. Rox are honestly blameless again this draft they just need to get whoever is left at 4 between Scoot, Miller and Amen.
Im ok with Miller at 4. Would rather have the potential of Thompson though. Miller projects to be a good passer and good shooter. Wont create a lot fof himself or others.

What's that thing he is doing where he is throwing the ball up toward the hoop? Seems like a good skill to have.
Top 4 are Wemby, Scoot, Miller and Amen in some order. Rox will most prob take who is left similar to last year.
I know everyone said Overtime Elite was a bunch of young kids, but I genuinely didn't realize how young they were until now. For some reason I thought it was more teams and players. Lol this league feels like a scam. I have no idea if grad year of 2025 means they are 16 or 17 but I rounded up to 17 because they always reclassify these kids. A ton of these kids don't have ages listed and you can't find them online so you just have to guess. 2 players don't even have a grad year listed. I missed a couple players but the break down is 5 20 year olds 23 19 year olds 21 18 year olds 12 17 year olds 1 16 year old 2 15 year olds 2 no ages There were only 68 players in the league and Amen was one of the oldest players in that league. Was he the oldest? Yes him and Ausar were the oldest players in the league by 4 months or so. They have spent their entire lives dedicated to basketball and still haven't figured out how to shoot from anywhere. I haven't bothered to figure it out but I think they also played on the oldest team in this league too. Jayden Quaintance averaged 17 ppg and 11 rpg on 54% FG%, 25% from 3pt land (same as Amen). HE'S 15 YEARS OLD! He was the 5th in scoring, 2nd in blocks, and lead the league in rebounding lol this league is great. https://overtimeelite.com/players/44012bae-a3e0-4f20-8833-0f7404b59eb8 All that said the Thompson twins did have BY FAR the best +/- in this ridiculous of a league. https://overtimeelite.com/seasons/e130bb01-9005-4690-83e6-320eec091f1f#plus_minus
I would say give them at least 5 more years because the league is 2 years old. Any league would need stability and I think they really need to revamp and getting older players in there. Basing that on your assessment, I agree that one should tread carefully around that league.
