Perhaps get Scoot. And then get Curry.
I was always leaning Scoot. Seeing how dominant a guy like Fox can be, that paired with Melo would be 2 unstoppable guards with the game coming down the wire. Iām all aboard the Scoot train!!
Without Wemby, Scoot would be considered winning the draft lottery in another year.
Does he give you, dare I say, Jimmy Butler vibes?
Scoot. He would be #1 if it wasnāt for victor
Miller isnāt an alpha that showed in March big time.

To put it lightly, this seems like the wrong locker room for Brandon Miller.

Iām very concerned about that, though Woj just said teams are saying heās a good character guy. Who knows. Hate that cloud over Miller for sure.

Anything but Scoot, Iāll be disappointed. Miller would be cool at 3, but you HAVE to take Scoot if heās there. Alpha dog.
So I also think Scoot is the guy, but give me a minute here. I need you to walk me through this.
So, we all know that terry is not the winning pairing with Melo. Pretend we trade rozier and insert Scoot in the line up.
The criticism has been that terry is a subpar defender and doesnāt have the height. So we switch the 6ā1 terry for the 6ā2 Scoot. Scoot isnāt as good of an outside shooter (yet) as terry is, and heās not know for being a rugged on ball defender. Sure, scoot has more potential ceiling to grow, and heās a better facilitator.
But the problem remains.
So Iām not going to say this is an āobvious slam dunkā pick and situation.

From this article:
Doing the NBAās Rising Star event in February, Scoot Henderson revealed he has already started to think about his fit on each potential team
Henderson did not say which player or team he prefers. But he acknowledged his desire to play in an explosive backcourt next to another dynamic guard. He described the idea as āshowtime.ā
I think we can give him what he wants.

Iāve been leaning miller but thatās about 55/45. I gotta dig in and check out Scoots game. The knock on miller shrinking in the big moments and not being an alpha I think are unfair. He was playing thru a groin injury in the tourney I believe and prior to that I witnessed absolute dominance from him on the college bball stage.
What big stage has Scoot ever been on to demonstrate that? The one game against Wembys team I guess.
If their ceilings were Paul George Vs Russel Westbrook and they both reach their ceilings, which one are you taking for this team?
Kawhi Leonard. How big are Millerās hands? I heard Scoots got big hands, along with a long reach of 6-9 (for a 6-2 guy).
Iām on team Scoot atm but I really havenāt done the research to make a great opinion
But isnāt the knock on our Melo-terry back Court the size issue? Swapping 6ā1 terry for 6ā2 scoot? Scoot isnāt a great defender and heās not as good of a shooter as terry.
Iām just glad we get to have the Scoot vs. Miller debate rather than the Whitmore vs. Thompson twin debate.

I donāt think we can go wrong with either. Scoot seems highly complimentary to LaMelo and does things well that Ball doesnāt as well as gives him a highlight target. Miller seems like the prototype any team would want. Seems like itās all upside.
Imo thatās not a debate. In fact, I think Whitmore should enter the debate at 2. Like his fit. Iāve been Whitmore 2-8 for a couple of weeks now. Obviously, Iāll have to do more research now that we know where weāre at.
Right now I have to lean to Team Scoot, but after I knew we were in the top three I was pretty darn happy!
Figure out a way to move Terry if the deal is right. Gordon moves on after next year. Assuming Big Mark takes a big step forward next season. Miles returns. Things are looking up.
It will be interesting to see what we do with our late first and the second round picks - what kind of trades can we make with this capital?

Scoot
It has been foretold
He will be better than Wemby
