Draft Day 2023

[countryboi]

Glad I don't do social media, listen to local media or hornets podcasts right now. Their already mostly insufferable and tomorrow won't be a picnic.

It hasn’t been exactly better here

[Radu_Hornets]

look at those muscle.
HE won't break, he is built like LeBron who almost never misses a game.

Okay Brandon is a good shooter, but Scoot gave us another playmaker, we could always run a good offence with Lamelo and/or scoot. Look at our offense when Terry is running it. It's just bad.

With LAmelo and Scoot we'd have a 48 min good offense with playmaker.

Now what, we have a small forward that can shoot that will be playing in the G-league and try to gain minutes behind miles, hayward, even cody martin.. ?

You need good shooter with size ? Just select pure shooter that didn't get drafed (AKA Miami who went to the finals).

How did they went to the finals ? With a A-DOG mentality player surrounded by undrafted shooter and a good center. Spoiler Alert, we got the center.

We could have got our A-Dog in Scoot who's been working out with stephen curry (it would have helped to bring cury to charlotte at the end of his carreer as well).

But no, we pick a guy that shoots well.


Anyway, I said that I would be rooting for Mlller if he got selected, so Let's go Miller, I hope you'll be breaking all our 3pts records.

I need a break though.

On the bright side, drafting Brandon Miller won't set this team back one bit. Because they've been nothing but set back for 20 years, and you have to be forward at some point to be set back. So, instead, I'll just hope they never move up in the draft again, to save themselves the embarrassment.

Remember when you got mad at me a few years ago for being pessimistic? lmao

I guess we should pick a guy who can't shoot at all and take the ball out of our best players hands?

[Stun704]

Are we going to trust Clifford to utilize Miller correctly with a log jam of vets at the SF position?

Which is why I hop in and out and limit my input, but this place has always had the most reasonable discussions and takes.

Can the best player not share the basketball?

[Lwcasu]

I wonder if LaMelo’s camp had any say. Yes, 48 mins of good play making is ideal, but maybe LaMelo wanted to be that guy always.

Plenty of people could not shoot as a rookie, Paul George shot 27% from three as a rookie, like none of these kids are final products. y’all get hung up on where they are right now like it’s all they can ever be

[KingCat]

Nope! Begging we trade Hayward, or Miller balls out during Miles ten game suspension so he isn't riding the bench or playing in Greensboro for 60% of the season.

Miller said Melo has been texting him. I hope Miller was Melo’s guy

[Goodecharlotte]

I just hope he's a high character kid and he leaves all the off court problems behind him. I just don't see the dog in him even his interview after he was drafted seem lacklustre

Exactly, and look at Scoot's shooting form.
It's almost perfect, and he already got all the muscles to work on his shoot.
+ he's 2 years YOUNGER than miller...

[Robot Rock]

Clifford won't be managing his minutes. Miller will be a G-League starter the next two years.

With a A-DOG mentality

We are already braindead according to Bill Simmons for taking Miller over Scoot

He's not often right, but he nailed that opinion. This is the worst franchise in North American professional sports.

We’re bad but not as bad as the Wizards lol

He can but if Lamelo is initiating the offense then what spacing is there with Scoot on the floor? I didn't want Scoot because I didn't want to relegate Lamelo to an off-ball role which is what I think would've needed to happen for Scoot to even slightly succeed. Just imo of course.

I think passing on Scoot Henderson and calling the team monumentally stupid isn't pessimistic. It's realistic.

Agreed but that goes both ways, no? Miller is a great shooter, poor finisher around the rim but improved on that as the season went along tremendously. He wants to play defense as well.

I assume we all think Miller is a finished product and can only shoot? Not sure.
