    I thought this was the Brandon Miller thread?

    Y'all need to scoot on over to the Scoot thread with this Scoot argument.

    :cheers:

    BPA? Same reason Detroit drafted Jaden Ivey when they had Cade Cunningham.

    The Heatles had LeBron and DWade. The Rockets nearly beat the Warriors with Chris Paul and James Harden... etc.

    Besides, the Ball brothers can't stay healthy.

    Rozier is not a player who should have any effect on whom you draft.

    If a time machine is ever invented then at some point in the future a Spurs fan will get hold of it and go back and stop us. In fact, it's already happened (the stopping, not the inventing). Time travel works like in 12 Monkeys not like in Back to the Future (or Looper, for that matter).

    I saw a great description of that movie: the thing that you most want to happen, happens, and then you feel disappointed.

    Whatever could happen has happened. That's why it's pointless to want a time machine to kill Hitler. You failed, buddy.

    Funny thing is I think this add predates the movie and helped inspire the film. Probably a result of further time travel.

    Especially since if I invented a time machine with the intent to kill Hitler, go back in time to kill Hitler, I'd either create a new timeline or in the original timeline I'd never have any reason to go back in time to kill Hitler, and thus not killed him. This is precisely why a TV show like Quantum Leap (the original, not that "ooh look at these shiny things!" abomination that is currently on tv) would never work. The changes Sam made, wouldn't have been known to have been needed in the future if he made them. So how does Al (and Gushy and Ziggy) know?

    And further more, why would Sam have gone back in time to save his brothers life if he already had been saved!?

    Now if it was all done by *accident*...

    Ant would likely be gone....and if you can use him to add some wing help, GREAT! Still, it would be another small backcourt that struggles defensively. And now Sharpe is either coming off the bench, or playing out of position at SF. I wonder if Miller could develop into a bit more of a playmaker?

    Only on S2 does a conversation go from Brandon Miller to Scoot Henderson to Hitler. Naturally, of course.

    All conversations arrive at Hitler eventually.

    You know with Hitler, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don’t care for him

    It is difficult to pinpoint him. Many of his strength and weaknesses are literally the same ones listed for Jayson Tatum.

    He is not as good of a prospect as Tatum, however. He isn't as smooth of an offensive player nor as a playmaker. He has a tendency to crumble against strong defenses. Thus, it makes sense that he relegates himself towards being a shooter who can move the ball a bit and create his own shot while making the drive for a floater or lay up.

    Imagine him more like a Michael Porter Jr. who can attack the rim due to not having serious injuries that hinder his game.

    Technically, if he fulfills his potential, that makes him Danny Granger.

    He'll fit well with Portland's young core. In all honesty, if teams follow 'the script', the Top 7 in this draft should net a bunch of All-Stars and the few after should be good starter caliber players, as well.
