    I haven't really made my mind about Miller and I know this is nit picking but... while he shoots a good percentage I find it odd how often his shot isn't a clean swish. There seem to be a lot side swishes or not clean makes. Just makes me wonder why and if it is a form thing or what. Or again maybe I am just being over critical but I've noticed it a few times.

    Fran Fraschilla said Miller has perfect form and when he sees him shoot they look like they're all going to go in.
    And that Brandon Miller is the prototype of an NBA small forward.

    Cued up to where they talk about Brandon Miller.

    In the video, Fran also pointed out that Miles Bridges is a restricted free agent for Charlotte and that he has served 20 games of a 30 game suspension. If Charlotte brings Bridges back, would they want to draft Miller who plays the same position? Just another factor.

    “Miller's fit on the Hornets is without question cleaner, considering how little talent Charlotte has on the wing. His ability to make shots in dynamic fashion from all over the floor, create for others off a live dribble, defend multiple positions and generally play the big guard/wing role every NBA team covets currently gives him the edge for me both in terms of fit and long-term”

    From Givony’s mock draft this morning.

    This is nuts, he made EVERY one of those shots!

    In all seriousness, and I hate judging these things, but did that whole clip not feel slow motion to you?

    Miles at the 4, Miller at the 3; and they’re both pretty switchy.

    Still can’t believe we’re even talking about Miles Bridges‚ blech.

    A lot of pundits don't. Character, athleticism, ability to finish are some of the reasons being listed. I think everyone acknowledges that he'll be good, but some don't believe he will become a star.

    That and having a Meyers Leonard-esque dip in his shooting form.

    I feel like a lot of people are overthinking Brandon miller. He’s Khris Middleton at worst. That’s insanely valuable.

    He is going to be a baller, and he is going to be a player that helps teams win. People are waaaay overthinking this.

    I blame analytics.
    His numbers say he didn't score at the rim so therefore he never will be able to............

    Analytics actually grades him out very favorably.
    For example, he rates #3 in Box +/-, #4 in Defensive Win Shares, and #10 in Total Win Shares in the NCAA

    drafting Amen and him being a great player is my favorite timeline by far, but the anxiety as he rebuilds his jumper in the g-league would be tough.

    amen to Badji in the summer league would light the internet on fire.
