Who would you have taken at #3?
Amen is 8/5.5/2 and Ausar is 9/6.5/2...none of the top 10 in that draft are doing amazing except for the 2 that the Blazers couldn't have drafted.
If you're saying you wish the Blazers would have somehow traded up to get Miller, that's fine. Miller is 17/4.5/2.5 on almost a quarter more of basketball per game than Scoot. Miller is shooting below league average overall, and slightly above average from 3pt. It's not as bleak as it seems.
Scoot is 13/3/5 and has barely scratched the surface of what he's capable of at the toughest position in the NBA. Give him a couple years. Do I think he's going to be the next Derrick Rose? No. But I think it's very possible he can have a career like Kemba Walker--statistically he is tracking that way.

The player we thought we were getting in Scoot (IE a Rose lite') is someone you take over the Thompson twins. But if Scoot is only destined to be a role player I certainly would take the taller, more athletic, better defensive super role players that the Thompsons' project over the type of role player Scoot will project.
I want to say he could be Marcus Smart but I dont see the same defensive IQ or hustle (Not saying Scoot doesnt hustle, just that Smart is a uniquely intense hustle guy).
The guy Scoot reminds me the most of right now is Dennis Smith JR.
Also why on earth is Kris getting the starting nod over Camara. Outside one being a SRP and one being a FRP I can see zero reasoning. Murray has not displayed a single skill that I would say is better than anything Camara has to offer.

The Blazers could have chosen Damian Lillard over the #3 pick.
