Scoot for sure. Two guard lineup with Melo could be really fast
Wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!
NOLA trades Zion to Charlotte for #2 and trades Ingram to Portland for #3 and says FUCK IT!
Let's take Scoot AND Miller and build around these two, reset the payroll and build with them instead.
Yeah, I'm not afraid to dip into the Twilight Zone.
Draft scoot Henderson best available player hello might not be there after while Brandon Miller is a good player but I don't see star potential he has okay handles but not Elite for his size he has good shooting but do you see how he shoots the ball and I don't think he has the separation pick on fit pick all the best available player scoot has star potential Charlotte needs a dog if you look at Charlotte's roster you don't see too much scoring he's all the scoring it can get
MJ out there wanting to make one last bad draft pick LOL
The Hornets always fuck up the draft. Miller will be out of the league in a few years, another Miles Bridges. If they really cared about having a "big backcourt" they why is Rozier (6' 1") their starting SG for so many years?
Tate Frazier has maximum zoom smoothing on, so he looks like one of the characters from "A Scanner Darkly."
Media takes on Charlotte will continue until they have "Will Charlotte trade down to the #30 pick for a lifetime supply of gatorade?" They're gonna take scoot, it's not that complicated.
Would not be surprised if MJ traded the #2 pick for Tyler herro and a 2027 2nd rd pick. Way to go MJ 😮
I'm completely lost on the Ringer's near universal love for Scoot. He's a small guard who can't shoot, and for all the talk about "he's a winner!" and "he'll bring the right culture" he loafed all season with the G-League. You can't have it both ways, he can't be this uber-competative, basketball first guy, yet not even try for most of the season. Throw in the fact that a poor shooting, 6'2" guard can't be a number one in the modern NBA, I just don't understand the love for him.
Charlotte needs to say f the draft trade ball to Orlando get the 6-11 use those picks 2,6,11 get Lillard or zion and then use the role players to get a Ayton or Buddy and turner and then have some cap space go build out the.roster the draft hasn't worked for Charlotte in 20 years try something new. Be a playoff team for once
Why does tates face look like that tho??? Switch up the lighting
I really do share the KOC idea on the Thompson, Ausar higher than Amen expecially because for both Huston and Detroit a wing player is needed most than a ball handler
Scoot is not far ahead of Ausar in shooting. Scoot was 27% 3pt in the g league while Ausar shot 33% in OTE both use the NBA 3pt line. Just to be exact.
Dude on the left gotta turn the filters off
The last person i wanna hear talking about the draft is KOC. He thought Kilian Hayes was gonna be the best player in his draft class.
Draft scoots upside, figure it out later.
Scoot
MJ better pick Scoot Henderson.
