    You think Ingram is his floor?! I see that as his ceiling.

    The only problem with taking Miller, is the blazer fan base and media that will want to bash him left and right due to his incident and bring the team drama. The media won't stop too, those toxic Blazer media outlets like just live on drama

    Yeah nobody in the draft has borderline all-star level floor except maybe Wemba and even with him there's health/injuries.

    Yeah, I think he'll be at least as good as Brandon Ingram... he already has those tools in his arsenal and he uses them more aggressively. He is more active defensively and on the boards but that is just looking at college and I know there is a big jump in talent to the NBA... just how I see him not a matter of fact or anything.

    What makes you sure Henderson goes second? Givony says every NBA GM he has talked to says Charlotte will take Miller.

    There is always the possibility Charlotte trades the pick too. We have been doing all these various exercises here playing the what if game. They very well may be interested in trading the 2nd pick to Orlando for Wagner and 6 also.
