If he had the blow by ability of a Durant, he wouldn't be behind Scoot. Age doesn't matter. Play style matters more than age. Jabari could've been 16 last year and I wouldn't have cared. Why? He was too damn passive. That's not something that's easily coached out. LIS last year and I stand by it now, he's going to be Marvin Williams v2.0. He doesn't have that "it" factor that Miller possesses. 100% agreed that age doesn't matter aside from him possibly being more physically developed. he's playing almost this whole year at 20 and jabari played last year at 18. and i wasn't a jabari guy either. i don't even know if it's worth it to compare them because jabari's shot profile was such a strange outlier and he plays so ******* stiff i just don't know how high the ceiling actually is if he's already struggling to create real space and he isn't able to finish over people in crowded lanes. maybe i'm just thinking about this through pistons lenses but i'd rather not have to ask is cade still going to be the worst athlete on the floor if you draft a guy. obviously his shooting would be a great asset though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shooting is the factor and his aggressiveness is the key. As someone that watches Khris Middleton on a nightly basis, I'm not sure athleticism is all that important on offense as IQ and skillset.

Has nothing to do with the Rockets or their coaching. His profile and play style screams Marvin Williams. I said it all throughout the process last year. Similar skillset, profile and demeanor.

NYRaider Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Miller just looks a lot more fluid than Jabari did last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats good for 40 percent on layups. That's not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Nick Smith returning for Arkansas. Hopefully his play the remaining regular season and tournament games cements him as a top 5 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Looking at the current crop of non-lottery underclassmen and, I'm sorry but I'm 100% taking one of Trayce Jackson-Davis, Jalen Wilson or Jaime Jaquez over any of them. There's no real reason any one of those three should drop out of the 1st round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I'm surprised Leonard Miller is still being mocked in the 25-30 range. I think he'll be a top 20 pick when it's all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
