To be sure, Henderson has a tendency to launch deep twos early in the shot clock. That’s not to say that Henderson is perfect, either. We’re talking about Russell Westbrook with Chris Paul’s floor vision. Still, he does not possess the athletic tools that we typically associate with an elite half-court player. Miller has a solid, smooth handle that he can use to get to his spots. Perhaps not as hard as, say, Jabari Smith Jr. He’s going to have to work hard to be a three-level scorer or a star shot-creator at the NBA level. Still, he’s unlikely to be a liability at the next level. To my eye, he grades as roughly adequate. This is an absolutely elite three-point shooter. If there was a referendum on the Rockets changing their name to the Houston Crimson Tide and I had a vote, I’d have to think long and hard before ticking “no” because I’m a nerd for preserving history.Īnyway, Miller can give it to you however you like it. He’s knocking down a cool 40.4 percent of his triples for the Alabama Crimson Tide.Īn aside: the Crimson Tide is the coolest name for a sports team in the history of sports. Miller is a 6’9” wing with an absolute cannon of a three-point shot. Let’s assume you’ve never heard of either. Odds are, you’re familiar enough with both of these guys. First, is Miller the second-best prospect in this draft? Second, is Miller the second-best prospect in this draft for the Rockets? Can Miller be the next great Rocket? For our purposes, there are two questions. This is real.Īctually, I don’t think he has.
This isn’t Draft_Dude on Twitter with Leonard Miller fourth on his board just to directly aggravate me personally. O’Conner is one of the foremost voices in NBA Draft analysis.
Victor Wembanyama is the first overall pick, and Scoot Henderson comes next. For a long time (likely a couple of years), the script has been written for the 2023 NBA Draft. Yes, of course I’m talking about Kevin O’Conner’s decision to put Brandon Miller second overall on his newest Big Board. I’m not sure what he’s done to engender such fervent support from his fans, but I’m convinced that they’d enthusiastically let him sleep with their spouse if he just gave them the top five biggest reasons why he ought to. Some will say that the outlet has some kind of vendetta against the organization.
Somehow, this happens several times per season. The folks at The Ringer have done it again.
