Legitimate question here, Why can't the NBA do better? What is the massive problem they are trying to avoid that makes something this stupid a better alternative?

A lot of athletic gifts and a frame that can add some bulk.
Not a lot of developed skills or feel for the game yet.
The ~80% FT shooting has me encouraged he will eventually be a plus shooter.
Usually a pretty good bellweather stat, especially for bigs.
Rubio shot 80% from the FT line. That being said, Ricky didn't experience a 6 inch growth spurt in the last two years. I actually think he's closer to a Vanderbilt as his floor and his ceiling is higher than Draymond.
Dray is a very high ceiling for him. He was a total package and a DAWG. However, Miller should easily score more.

With his handle and rebounding ability I have his ceiling as a taller Julius Randle. He has a long long way to go to reach that though.
I like the top half of his shooting motion a lot, but he has a lot of stuff to clean up in his lower body and footwork on his shot.
Too much lean and fade to be consistent.

The guy who can't shoot or score is a complete package? Please. He's a good passer, but most forwards in Draymond 's position would be able to average 5 assists passing to the best shooters who ever lived. He's a solid passer, who is a good defender. He's also an extremely dirty player, who is extremely cocky, narcissistic, and arrogant. He's not a dawg, he's been in the league for over 10 years, playing closely with the two best shooters who ever lived and hasn't managed to develop an even passable shot. He has no hustle or motor either.
I hope Miller is nothing like him, and I genuinely do think he could be better.

I'm not really seeing that. I get your take to a small degree....I get what you're thinking.
He will be a better shooter than Cory.
Cory was a nice player but he couldn't shoot. Never could.
And I'm a big Corey Brewer fan. Chances are Miller turns out better. "Go Wolves"!

A lot of interesting comps thrown around here, but the one I’ve personally settled on offensively is actually Naz Reid. And the more I watch some of his dunks and finishes at the rim and in mid-range, I see a bit of fellow Canadian NAW as well.
Home run pick, I love it so much! And I love the aggressiveness Connelly showed to go get him.
