    Hornets might take Miller.

    If Scoot really is available, I have to do a double take on potential Dame trades.

    the sine wave of my enthusiasm peaked and crashed in about 5 minutes. Now it's kind of stable but fuck the Spurs for getting Duncan AND Wembayana

    He may go number two. Scoot is real. I have no idea what we will do

    Wouldn’t it just be the most blazer move to take another guard?

    I feel lucky. We were most likely to get 6, 7 or 8 but we end up with 3 in a draft where most think there are only three sure guys at the top of the draft.

    If scoot is there at 3 we gotta real decision to make. Scoot/Sharpe together would be pretty nice.

    And we don’t have the pressure of taking the best of the 3, we get to take the guy the other 2 teams pass on.

    Take Miller or Scoot, whomever is left. Don't trade the pick.

    If Scoot is there at 3, you ignore it, and draft Amen

    edit: or trade back one spot, gain an asset, and draft amen

    Scoot shooting splits are brutal tho. I don’t get the hype about him

    I’d be so happy with Miller or Scoot. Miller is plug and play…

    Dame/Sharpe/Miller/ Grant/ Upgrade

    Scoot is decision time.

    Feel good I thought we’d get 7. Top three has a ton of value in trade or keep a player. Going to be interesting off season
