i guess the word explosive is not in his vocab

Two weak to play the power forward, to slow to play the small forward, can't shoot, is not athletic, ball handling is average .... at best he goes second round and becomes deep bench player ...

I really thought for a long time that he should be our first goal in this draft. However he just looks too slow and unathletic at the moment which limits his potential and makes him only average. He was never a big time athlete but I still think he was more athletic before the injury. If Quincy falls to the second round and improves his athleticism, he could be the biggest steal in the draft.

Well I wouldn't say he can't shoot because he's actually a good spot-up jump shooter, just not one that can pull an off-the-dribble jumpshot at a high rate (from the baylor season games I've watched). But other than that, yea, he's s alot slower than I thought. I don't think its the legs problem that many claimed but he's more about craftiness than quickness imo. Despite the flaws, one area he impresses me most is his court vision during the Baylor season games.

He suffered a torn ACL, he's so slow becouse of that and that's probably ruined his career already. Injury prone written al over him i guess.

From what I have seen from him, this is the most "explosive" he has looked.
That ACL seems to have recover.

Sad story #1 HS player who gets a torn ACL in his senior year. Can't help but feel bad for him. Even now you can sort of see why he was so highly touted. His game is smooth.

he will be a steal

He's slowed down quite a bit. That's going to hurt him in the NBA.

But he'll be a first round pick for sure. He's got pretty nice handles for a guy his size.

What? He just had his freshman season in college.

a 1 hand reverse out of an euro step is pretty athletic

Any SF in the league would break his ankles in a second, this guy won't be able to play 3. He doesn't move like 3. Even if he moved like 3, his skillset is not nearly close NBA level, but obviously he won't be able to play any position in NBA.

He busted in college, so didn't want to come back just to lose any chance of playing in the league.

And those high school videos, were this cocky young man is having fun playing basketball with bunch of children, taunting them and bragging to cameraman how he's destroying them all, are hilarious.

Wish him the bust.

Was not impressive at all at the Draft Combine, but as a second round pick he's definitely a steal. Doubt he slides that much though.

what he said. he isnt 1st material imo

Merged.

If the Raps can somehow manage to use their 2 second round picks and move up for Quincy Miller I'd be ecstatic!

Crazy-Canuck · Post #39 » by **Crazy-Canuck** » Mon Jun 11, 2012 1:17 am

He was never explosive nor uber athletic pre-injury, so dont know why people are surprised he isnt explosive and athletic post injury.

Q.Miller was and is known for being crafty and very quick for his size. He also has a quick enough release that combined with his height, he can get a shot off whenever he wants. Watch some of his film from 2010 and you can see his skills are still there. I just dont think he was comfortable at Baylor and the coach was out to lunch half the time. Pj3 was misused and the same applied to Miller.

Id love a crack at this kid with a mid to late first as a big upside pick.
