Scoot Henderson To Hornets At No. 2 'Gaining Serious Momentun' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jun 22, 2023 4:16 pm

The possibility of the Charlotte Hornets to selecting Scoot Henderson with the No. 2 pick is "gaining serious momentum," sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.


The Hornets have been "torn" between Henderson and Brandon Miller with many believing they preferred Miller.

Scoot and LaMelo. Not the best combo.

Trying to get the Pelicans to engage with them on a deal?

Always take the best player. I still think that's Miller though

After Brandon Miller came out and said Paul George is the GOAT his draft stock should drop…shows a lack of basketball IQ

I agree that Miller is the best player at the moment, though I think Scoot has the higher ceiling.

Despite his (statistical, not financial) failure as an owner, he's a smart guy.... So I have to wonder if he's going to pick Henderson simply because he wants Miller but has a history of choosing wrong. Jordan's always been great at recognizing weakness in his opponent, maybe tonight he realizes he's been his own opponent.

Anyway hi mom, that's all to say I think Scoot is going to be a megastar

Except Ja and Brandon have more in common—regardless the main reason I want Scoot is he’s the better player, but the Hornets also don’t need the additional baggage (even if Miller is 100% innocent which all reports are saying)

He said his personal GOAT is Paul George. I don't agree with his opinion but it is his opinion at the end of the day.

Rest assured that MJ will lose the 50/50 bet if he is making the call.
