The ability to shoot 3s
If the thinking is title or bust, how often do athletic PGs who can't shoot lead their teams to titles as the #1 option?
Furthermore, if Scoot doesn't reach his ceiling and doesn't develop a shot, how effective will he be as a #2 option?
With a guy like Miller, even if he doesn't reach that level of being a true #1 like Tatum, you can still comfortably slot him on a good team next to a true #1, where if Scoot doesn't reach his ceiling, he won't be a good #2 option next to a true #1
If you're just drafting based on upside and probability of reaching that upside, you go Scoot, but it's understandable if some guys would rather take Miller.
