The Official 2023 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[I AM WARHOL]

Never forget the E in ESPN stands for Entertainment journalistic integrity is not a job requirement or critical responsibility

Yeah I get that. If ESPN was making money off of bets then I’d be a lot more incredulous.

That Brandon Miller interview was weird and I can believe those initial rumors about him where true as you could tell everytime he had long delays in answering questions that he was looking at his lawyer to get the answer.

tbf, if ja did that even monday through friday then he'd be the face of the league

 

[El Jefe]

Just incompetence by Hornets mgmt across the board

Number 1 pick should be skoot if it’s not about fit

Number 2 the brandon miller is there preferred option/only choice -news/rumours should have been stamped out way earlier then NOW

So they kould have entertained what other teams would have offered for the 2nd Pick a few weeks ago ,not in the 13th he on draft day

Most these guys are 20 it’s disgusting honestly but that’s the thing now. They see kids with potential and hold them back in the 8th to get an extra year of development dominating dudes.

Yo that explains some things I didn't even peep it because I don't start tracking the players until they NBA season starts.

Breh I'm not getting it. I just looked at Scoots and Millers scouting vids and looked at some hornets footage. I do not see how or why they are having such an issue making the choice to take Scoot. It's like I see Lamelo/Rozier playing and I don't hear many complaints about fit But as soon as it's Scoot it becomes a fit issue. Scoot and Lamelo can fit plus from my understanding they are cool and the dude is being mentored by Steph. I don't see how a franchise can pass on Scoot for Miller. Not saying B Miller isn't nice. I think he will be good also.

Now if it's another reason besides fit that they want Scoot over Miller I'd understand. I'm tracking on the shooting and all of that. Low key I think this is just some media click bait hype and the Hornets were picking Scoot all along. I mean knowing who the 1st 2 picks were the whole year probably wouldn't drive as much traffic. Add in the Hornets sell why wouldn't they take the dude who has Scoots mentality.

I mean he's from Orlando but nah breh. He's a smooth shooter but I don't see him going that high. Wouldn't Orlando try to grab a long limbed athlete? would Grady dikk fit the Magic?

 

[VegetasHairline]

I see why Givony doesn't get much screen time. Dude got a nasty lisp.

 

[pete clemenza]

You can tell dude gon act a fool in the nba, in a good way

 

[CarltonJunior]

I stand on charlotte needing to take scoot over miller

I’m puzzled just like you , for all the same reasons you mentioned above

Add in the red flags with the gun shxt , his comments about PG bein his Goat , all his interviews are awkward as F , shows his mentality isn’t even one I would think MJ would relate/appreciate

Have to think The word that it’s MJs choice ,is a smokescreen as the sale isn’t finalised yet ,is to satisfy the league and new
Ownership really wants Miller


That bein said he did draft Kwame brown

 

[Derek Lee]

Look at those cacs and Mexicans in San Antonio
