Mike Miller.

Agree with those that say if he wasn't a Howard there'd be a lot less hype.

I like that 3 ball but don't see him playing D or being a winning player.

Not sure name has much to do with it since he wasn't a 5 star top 30 kid nor pegged as a one and done until he forced his way into that conversation.

Do we think he is actually 6-8? As someone pointed out he is a poor rebounder.

Do you know how hard it is to be a bad rebounder in college at 6-8?

No he is between 6'6-6'7 with shoes.

He was 6'5.5" with shoes in 2019.

No it won't and he won't even go to the combine to get measured. Unfortunately that is a thing of the past that the nba needs to fix. Players shouldn't have to test athletically if they don't want to but they should at least have to go there to get measured.

I will say that watching how economical and efficient Kobe Bufkin is in his decision making is jarring next to Jett's pound the rock play style.

Sad on the Wolverines losses but I hope Howard and Bufkin stay. They might get pushed down a bit since others will get to shine in the NCAAs.

I think Jett is gone and Bufkin probably returns although with Dug there it's not a great situation for him. I'd much rather see him get a chance to be a lead somewhere.

Dug is not ball dominant and will defer. As a Michigan fan, I want Jett gone and Bufkin to stay but in terms of talent it should be the opposite. Jett has all the tools to be a highly integratabtle role player but he had some real bad blackhole tendencies as conference play went on.

Ended up with Jett at 6 on my board, which I thought would be way way higher than where he got drafted. Funny thing is I had him going to Orlando at 6 and he ended up going 11 to Orlando. Great draft for Orlando.

2nd round talent. Him going that high was probably even more shocking than Jaquez going to MIA. At least with Jaquez there was some late buzz. I didn't hear anyone talking about Jett being a lottery pick.

How was Jaquez going to Miami a shock? He's literally the most obvious "Heat culture" guy in the draft. :lol:
