Meh, I don't see a big difference between 3, and say, 10 in this draft. Wemby and Scoot are the real prizes in this draft, it's a crapshoot after that.

#2 only hurts because of it's trade value. Scoot would have never been a Piston.
Weaver = Hinkie
VW to Portland :pray:

Yep. It was 14% ecstasy or 86% whatever for me. Sure, we got boned to the highest degree possible, but it doesn’t matter that much to me, not wanting Miller and not needing Scoot.

I definitely think Miller is a much better prospect then walker, Whitmore, the Thompsons, etc.

I thought so as well at some point during the season but his numbers against good teams were poor and he was horrendous down the stretch outside of the South Carolina game, it sort of soured me on him.
The consensus seems to agree with you, I'm a bit skeptical of Miller. I would still take him at 3 regardless but it's not as clear cut for me as it once was.

Miller also has those character red flags. I'd probably take him if he dropped, but he's not without significant baggage.

Ringer's recent mock draft has Whitmore going four. I'm not sure the twins will hold up to real scrutiny on a professional level, especially with Whitmore being younger as well. More and more I hope the Pacers have someone they love enough to do the two for one first round pick exchange.

I really don't want the twins. I think they'll be just good enough to make it hard to move on from them, but not good enough to really win with. Like peak Ben Simmons.
