I just wonder, are Marshall & Lillard really better than Miller talent wise?!?! I know they are expected to go higher due to a lack of PG crop this year, but if we don't consider that fact, I just wonder where Miller would rank...

I would consider taking Miller over Lillard. The only reason to take Miller over Marshall is if Miller turns himself into an Allstar, and right now I don't think so. Marshall would improve the entire offense and make Favors into a much better player. I think Marshall makes this offense much more efficient. His skills are team oriented, and that's jazz basketball.

Reddick.

Not a real comparison, but I do see some decent similarities.

It's Redick damnit.

Yeah, except that Rivers isn't half the shooter Reddick is and will never be.

In all honesty, it's a pretty bad comparison. About the only similarities they have are that they can shoot and everybody hated them. Redick is a much more pure shooter than Rivers, but has an average handle at best right now. Playing styles are no-where similar, maybe their attitudes are, but I don't like the comparison.
 
What concerns me with Miller is, ever since his jr year in HS, he's been described as a kid with extreme upside .. and maybe 'next year' he'll assert himself, work hard, and put it all together. I've been thinking he would for 3 years now, but I'm growing weary whether the kid cares enough.

His growth may have been slowed by the injury and the recovery thereof?

With Miller we'll have 2, 3, 4, 5 locked for the next 5 years all with very good length. His 3pt shooting can't hurt..

Harris is improving his game may be he would sign on cheaply after the next season? Say around $5mil? The question is are Marshall/Lillard good enough to be our PG of the future or do we settle with just a vet.
 
Where do you guys see Miller going in the draft? I'm wondering if we could get both Miller and Marshall assuming miller is drafted later on. I'm also assuming we'd have to trade into a second pick.

how much better would Favors be with Marshall?

I'd never draft a kid like this. Ever.
 
I still don't want to take a PG in this draft. I don't think any PG in this draft deserves to be picked 8th (if we get the pick). I'd still rather take BPA, give Harris another year, then go after a Curry or Lawson or Harden in the offseason for our PG.

He was a dominant hs kid who tore his acl. I think he's doing pretty well considering. I'd take him with our second lotto pick (....which we probably won't have, but lets pick up that conversation later tonight).

I think both Lillard and Marshall are legit mid-late lotto talents. I like Lillard as much as Kemba Walker and probably like Marshall even more. Think of it this way--Marshall will add 8 pts. to Kanter's scoring average.
