    Ingram isn't a good comp for Miller.
    Miller is a great 3-point shooter.
    If Ingram were a great 3-point shooter, he'd be up there with KD.

    Ingram is a 'weird' 3 point shooter. Look at his 7 NBA seasons:

    upload_2023-6-15_20-47-26.png

    that's one of the widest variances I've seen, and it repeats. I mean, 3 seasons at 39% or higher; and 3 seasons at 33% and lower. Crazy, and you really don't want to be counting on him in a season he's shooting three's like Evan Turner

    If anything, I bet it corresponds with his health, which is also a bit of a red flag for a non-superstar.

    The leaks will be interesting. If he has a great workout and they want him, do they downplay it? Or if they want Scoot to keep or trade should they let it leak that Miller looked incredible? Or does it make any difference?

    Yes, one year of it was fine....no need for a repeat. Especially since the Rip City jerseys are so much better.

    I think there's a possibility Portland wants Amen or Miller more than Scoot, so yeah, I think they'll show clips and stuff but I don't think it'll be the 'it was the greatest workout of all time.'

    If one thinks Miller is the superior talent, then Portland comes out great either way. They either get the best talent or they get the best trade chip.

    Yeah, totally. I'm one who thinks we almost certainly need to keep the pick because of the new CBA. And if that's the case, Miller is a better fit. If you get Scoot, we'll have a better trade chip.

    Either way we're sitting pretty.

    If he can be as good, or better than LaMarcus Aldridge, Awesome. That's the blueprint.

    a couple maybe; Aldridge was 6'10 w/o shoes

    Miller actually looks kind of tall so I'd guess around 6'8 w/o shoes; maybe 6'8.5 but I doubt it. I wish he would have been measured at the combine

    it is impressive that he has the perimeter game he's shown and still averaged 9 reb/36 in the SEC. And I think I'm more impressed with him averaging 86% on FT's than with his 38.4% on three's. Usually, FT% is an excellent upside indicator of shooting touch

    by the way: Miller had a FG% of .430 and a 3ptFG% of .384. But if you delete those 4 games at the end of the season when he was battling a groin injury, his FG% was .459 and his 3ptFG% was .403

    Curious how their wingspan compares. Miller didn't do the measurements.

    I feel like they've got a template in presenting workout material so far. The videos they've released for the Thompsons, Scoot, and Whitmore have largely been similar
