    He had horrible stats finishing at the rim.

    Are we sure they didn't draft Andre Miller?

    Why do people need to put down a player to make the player we chose look better? I watched Miller. Looked like a kid 12 months removed from HS playing in his 1st pro game. Nobody in Charlotte is upset after this kid put up 18/5/3 in 30 minutes.

    He's not good from a standstill. He can get up in the air pretty well on the move when needed with his length. On one defensive possession he was able to get up high enough to tip an alley-oop pass near the apex of the pass.

    Yeah the other highlights seemed less unusual but I guess I assumed since he was a young guy that he’d be more athletic is all.

    His shooting seems fantastic. I suspect it is still the lingering illness he had. He will get better.

    Sure take him too if you want.....and trade him later. He just is not a priority for me when we have a limited number of roster spots. Their two young players are a bigger priority however because we would, in theory, have a better chance of keeping them past next year. Certain players are system players and I have a hunch that Martin is one of those.

    He isn’t playing against high level defenders yet. A few of those shots were pretty damn close to being blocked.

    All I'm seeing is upset Hornets fans. Where have you been looking?

    So your best evidence is two guys who DIDN'T want Miller, but really wanted Scoot?

    I was reading their board and the summer league thread on RealGM. Hornets fans are cursing Jordan and saying they should have had Scoot.

    Why do you think he was trying to counter you by posting the video?

    Because he loves putting down Scoot and loves propping up Miller. I like those Hornets guys. Especially the dude with the long hair.

    I mean, that makes them even better evidence.

    They didn't want the guy and they said he had a good performance / weren't upset.

    You can also look at the comments on that video.
