    Guess I should've put money on Scoot at 2 back when he had longer odds

    It's over FanDuel has Brandon Miller back up to a 2 to 1 favorite to go number 2 to the Hornets and virtually everyone is reporting that is where Charlotte is headed.

    We will be on the clock with Scoot on the board. Joe will be under the most pressure he's faced and will have a chance to really work teams against each other who desperately want Scoot. We better come out of Thursday night a lot better.

    What are the odds on Will Levis?

    Odds on NFL draft picks are reportedly way too volatile due to limited action, and while the NBA draft might get more bettors involved, this seems like a much less useful measuring stick than for lots of other sports events.

    It seems like the Blazers might be about to make one of those horrible decisions. It may not be as bad as Bowie over Jordan, or Oden over Durant, but it will be added to that list.
    I see a lot of people, Blazer Fans, who know Blazer history, cheering it on. Weird.

    Brandon Miller up to -400 now… pretty much a lock to go #2

    I don't want to pull an Aldo (no offense @AldoTrapani ) but I been telling you all that Charlotte loved Miller for the entire pre draft process and that Scoot stuff would blow over. Now watch Adam Silver step to the podium tomorrow and be like, "With the second pick in the 2023 NBA draft the Charlotte Hornets select Scoot Henderson of the GLeage Ignite."

    Woj says Miller is Charlotte's pick now and we get Scoot.

    I see a lot of people thinking that what happened in 1984, under different ownership, a different GM, with different players, is somehow related to 2023 draft.

    Super weird.

    You don't think there's a basic "need vs. best player available" assessment that can be made in both cases?

    How does that have anything to do with the poster saying Blazer fans are making the same mistake?

    The Blazers are getting the leftover guy in the tier this time. The players are different. The fans aren't making the decision. The roster situations are different. And, there are examples of fit selections working out over BPA, as well as the opposite. In fact, the Blazers probably took fit in 84 and Oden was a clear consensus BPA in 07. Just like there are examples of trade up, trading down, and trading out worked out

    There is no Blazer jinx or hoax because two drafts, decades apart, didn't work out.

    I'm leaning they take Miller. Riley knows that lack of length hurt his team against Denver. Miller and Bam could be a tough dual to deal with.

    Scoot is the most overhyped player coming into the draft....
    His agent is doing a fine job.
