2023 NBA Draft Megathread

He is talking about archetype and style of play fitting superstar types. Whitmore has a lot of that upside especially iso ability, and it doesn't mean Miller doesn't, but Miller doesn't show elite ball skills or iso ability at Bama if he does have it, not when he is the recipient of so much catch and shoot usage.

These are Nic Batum highlights from 10 years ago. I can assure you that comparing Brandon Miller to Nic Batum isn't meant to be an insult.

Are we sleeping on Whitehead? 42% from 3 and 89% from the line. But also 40% from 2 and 50% at the rim which is almost unbelievably horrible. What’s funny is that his predraft would probably question the jumper more than his athleticism.

I know he has the foot thing, and apparently Duke has the worst spacing of all time from the Flip fans. If we’re giving Flip a pass for being bad at the rim, why not Whithead too?

Not saying I’m totally on board with Whithead….but his shooting numbers deserve some attention.

I like Whitehead too. Would definitely take him with the Philadelphia first.

There are a lot of similarities between he and Reddish as a prospect. Reddish has obviously had an up and down career, but he still radiates some potential where you think…..right team/situation/attitude/health and he could be really good. Feel the same about Whitehead. Definitely worth a late first round flier. Unsure about a mid first rounder though.
