    I’m officially on the Scoot/Sharpe/Brown backcourt timeline. Dame is my favorite player ever but I want pieces that all fit together and for more than 3-4 seasons.

    i go back and forth on miller. one day he looks like a PG reincarnate, the other, he looks like a guy whose game can't translate because of his inability to get past his guy or score at the rim.

    gonna do a serious deep dive on these guys over the next few weeks.

    im still high on whitmore -- could even be a candidate to move back and grab an asset for.

    I'd love that and get to see Dame on a contender.

    I think a lot of people think it's a given that the Hornets select Miller but a dynamic backcourt of Scoot and Ball would be interesting so I think IF for some crazy reason the Blazers KEEP the pick Miller very well might be there. Also the hornets ran old Blazer Dennis Smith at PG so to think they would not take Scoot is kind of silly.

    Making my prediction now that the Hornets will take Scoot leaving the Blazers with Miller or the Twins and good trade chips to trade for a proven vet to help Dame. While it would have been crazy AF if the blazers got Victor the 3rd pick is still a very good chip to have. My biggest worry is we have a GM that has not made a legit good trade since he has been on the job sure he has made a solid trade here and there but also given away players for next to nothing too. I am praying that Cronin has been playing the fool and pulls off a high IQ trade and blows us all away but not going to hold my breath on that one.

    Your post is convincing but I still think the right move for them is Miller. But there will be a lot of teams that will want Scoot.

    Going to SA where he will have every opportunity under an OG great coach; is Wemby a lock for ROY?

    Is there any chance somebody offers a boat load and the Spurs trade him?

    All he does is dunk while wildly going to the rim

    I have no idea why the Thompson twins are ranked so highly. They are 20 yr olds playing against guys as young as 16 and putting up inefficient numbers in a league with hardly any other NBA prospects.

    This like like one step above the Junior Basketball Association (aka big baller league ) that LaVar started to showcase his kids against lesser competition.

    I don't think people realize how much of a level below college or even the GLeague this Overtime Elite is.

    Taking either of these guys top 10 would be a hilarious misstep.

    Nice story but it's just a bunch of opinions.

    i feel like even shaedon had more of a track record in EYBL and the various AAU tournaments (in addition to the practices at UK that Schmitz witnessed).

    Because the draft is weak, I think
