"I think Cronin was pretty much engineering Dame's trade request by picking a PG. You don't invest a 3rd pick in a multi-year backup"
I am saying that is wrong. He took Scoot because he thought he was the BPA. He would have taken Miller if Charlotte had taken Scoot.

Does it make any difference? You said, "You don't invest a 3rd pick in a multi-year backup."
I am saying you do if you have no choice. That was my point. It was not a good draft. Everyone after Scoot had question marks. Hell even Scoot had question marks after his 2nd year in the G league as...

But maybe his injuries issues are behind him.
