Woj and Givonny talking about Brandon Miller possibly overtaking Scoot for the #2 spot.

I’d still take scoot but Millers improvement throughout the course of the year has been fun to watch

Gradey needs to chill out he’s playing too well

Also Hendricks for UCF had a great game against Florida in the NIT

Love love love hendricks. 6'9 40% 3P, 1.8 blks/g

Shoots the ball and protects the rim. Probably our 2 biggest weaknesses.

Gradey is a better shooter but hendricks is the much better and more versatile defender

I think it depends on need at this point. Would detroit take scoot with cade and ivey on the team? Miller would fit like a glove.

For the pels, i think i would take miller, he's an awesome shooter and defender. Scoot needs to be surrounded by shooters which we definitely dont have

I do think those two will be decided on fit as well

Yep. A long disruptive defender who knocks down C&S 3’s at a very healthy clip.

Grady will be a high end more complete shooter which alway makes sense with Zion, but Hendricks defense could make a bigger impact while still retaining high end C&S ability

Two different type of players Hendricks will more than likely be a PF with stretch ability while Dick is going to be a shooting specialist on the wings.

Hendricks should be able to play on the wing as a big combo forward with his point of attack defense combined with the shooting stroke. I think he will be a high level C&S shooter, but Gradey will be a real gravity shooter.

Positions are always going to be funky with this team. Zion and BI are ostensibly our PF/SF, but operate as our point and shooting guard on offense while being hidden on defense as much as possible.

A defensive oriented 3-4 combo/tweener that can knock down open perimeter shots and guard 3-5 while protecting the rim opens up all sorts of roster possibilities.

Pairing Zion & BI with Grady and Trey is enticing just because of the room they would have to operate. Obviously different archetypes, but I think these will be two prospects that we get heavily connected to given our current draft position.

Could see both rising, especially Hendricks. Gonna be interesting to see how the big boards play out come draft night. I’m starting to like what I’ve seen from whitehead at Duke of late. Feeling more confident we’ll land a solid player even if we are 12-14.


Im just not big on Black and Wallace just mainly for fit. I Like a lot of other guys more than Walker and George as well as of now.

I think Hendricks could play some small ball 5. He’s a solid rebounder and his frame looks like he could put on some weight. He’s my #1 target for the pels if we’re picking around 10
