Criticize away. I put so little stock into tourney performances.

I like ya man, I just don’t buy for a second you’re being intellectually honest about Miller.

I form opinions on players usually very quickly and rarely change them. I think Miller is a half step slow and isn't explosive enough to be a #1 option on offense. Can he be a #2 or #3 guy who plays off the ball, shoots off the catch and makes solid contributions? Sure.
 
Here are the last 10 RSCI #1 ranked recruits and where they ended up being drafted:

Dariq Whitehead (?)
Chet Holmgren (2)
Cade Cunningham (1)
James Wiseman (2)
RJ Barrett (3)
Marvin Bagley (2)
Josh Jackson (4)
Ben Simmons (1)
Jahlil Okafor (3)
Andrew Wiggins (1)

Is that list supposed to be...unimpressive or something? If anything it shows that teams like to draft top-rated RSCI prospects at the top of the lottery. Wiggins and Simmons made All Star teams. Okafor and Jackson busted for different reasons--Okafor didn't fit in the modern game and Jackson was a pothead who didn't learn to shoot. Bagley and Wiseman are trying to find themselves in Detroit. Barrett is a decent role player. Cade and Chet have had injury issues. Jury is out on Whitehead.
 
I’m sure there are examples of bad tourney runs still having good nba careers. We know Trey Burke had a good tournament but went on to be a **** show in the NBA
 
RSCI ranked Dillon Mitchell as the 5th best freshman and he might not even be in the top 200 so I don't trust HS rankings really

I'm not sure Danny looks at the HS rankings or he just likes the traits that give good HS rankings, but he does seem to have some kind of bias/leaning towards blue chip guys. If a guy was somewhat disappointing in college it doesn't seem to bother him.

He drafted RJ Hunter.

Same.

Just watch this game. You see the full spectrum, from dum dum to scintillating skill.

I don't know what to say if you don't pop your eyes at some of this.

I’m still a big fan of GG. I think he’s still the most talented guy in next year’s draft if he hadn’t reclassified. Definitely some concerns, but the talent and upside really stands out for me. If he reaches his potential, I think he’s a PG-13 type of player. I have him rated pretty high and would be just fine with the Jazz picking him and trying to develop him into the star they think he can become. This is a great year to take some home run swings in the draft GG feels like one of those type of swings.

Makes me more interested in taking a flyer on Whitehead if he drops into the Philly pick range. Just hope his issues are mostly injury related and he’ll completely recover from it and become a solid pro. Still think he’s more of a 2 instead of a 3.

I think Whitehead goes top 20, or close to it. He has a chance with workouts to put his season behind him.
