    Interesting but a dumb decision, anybody seen him play?

    I'd take him with the 16th pick.

    Wow.

    He's now projected to go 18th ... pretty nasty fall from the kid who prior to the season was projected to go #1 in the 2012 draft.

    With that said, if he's there at 13th, the Rockets would have to take a strong look at this kid. Even though we already have Parsons and Morris...

    Superstar potential- I would pick him if I were Rockets.

    I'm down. He's about to get his explosiveness back after knee surgery in his senior season in HS.

    I have a weird feeling that the Rockets will end up with either Jones or Miller.

    Watched him during the tourny and wasn't too impressed.

    He'll surely gain muscle mass. 6'9" small forward so he is tall for his position and was already blocking shots this past season. I like the way he balls. He has a high ceiling.

    His 2pt fg% is strong, and he shoots well from the line. Also is at 17/8 per 40 min. He would have had a strong sophomore season and went as a top 10 pick.

    I like Quincy Miller a lot but he doesn't have superstar potential in the NBA. If everything goes right he could end up a very good player.

    I wonder if academics is involved. IMO, he's one of the few where the overused notion of waiting another year could help. His first year or two in the NBA he won't be worth a dime.

    Good potential don't understand why guys like Miller and Wroten came out this year when the draft will be weaker next year.

    I'm sorry, but I completely disagree...

    IMO his ability to create off the dribble in combination with his 6'9 frame and 7'4 wingspan, in addition to his improving athleticism, makes him the SF with the highest ceiling in this draft!

    Now him reaching that ceiling its what's up for questioning ... but if he does I think he can be a bonafied star in this league. I mean their was reason he was ranked as the #1 pick in the 2012 Draft prior to the season.

    It is time for us to take a flyer on guys with high ceiling instead of safe picks.

    Use the 17th pick on Miller.
