One of these dudes will be damned good and it’s ausar. These cats seem like they were bred to play nba ball. Both of them will be good. They have work ethic. And it seems like they are really positive younger brehs. They may not have scoots personality but so what. A lot of stars don’t have personalities. Kawhi.
they weren't even the best players in overtime elite league :skip: prospects not due out for years styled in that fugazi aau shyt

No it’s not just about personality like how charismatic they are, it’s about presence. Say what you want about Kawhi, but he has presence. And you’re right that they may be good but they won’t be franchise players.

Woj still sticking with Brandon Miller to Hornets after Shams said Scoot
This Shams shyt is shady. Shams is employed by Fanduel and he said Scoot at 2 and Amen possibly at 3 earlier today. The odds went insane. Now if you go back to fanduel sportsbook, the odds have shifted back to Brandon being the favorite at 2 and it had Amen at +700 to go 3. I’m not into gambling so brehs is that normal?? This shyt seems like it should be illegal. If It goes Miller at 2, Scoot at 3, that Shams comment is gonna make Fanduel a shyt ton. Or is my logic off?

Woj told everyone that Jabari at #1 to Orlando was a done deal last year :manny: neither of these guys are perfect

the gambling stuff being all over the place just shows that NOTHING credible has come out of Charlotte directly

People keep throwing that term around while overlooking that's been the case with a quite a few guys in the past few drafts. Even Ant's shot was super broke heading into the draft and the first half of the season. Melo's shot was a question mark as well and Giddey's was too but it doesn't mean that they shouldn't be drafted high or they can't figure it out.
I never said they shouldn't be drafted high. All I've heard was people criticize Scoot's jumper and hype up the twins when they're worse shooters than Scoot.

Shams being in this business and sponsored by a betting company has always been unethical.

But Woj is an employee of ESPN. If Shams is just saying shyt and using his clout to intentionally lead people in the wrong direction for Fanduel, that some foul shyt.

Only reason I’m looking at these sportsbooks is cause how insane last years draft was. I don’t gamble but how Vegas shytted so throughly on the “insiders” got me looking at Vegas like they have legit spies
