So piecing the three previews together, MTs big board looks like:
1. Wemby
2. Scooty
3. Amen
4. Hendricks(!)
5. Jarace
6. Whitmore
7. Black
8. Asuar
9. Miller (though maybe off his draft board entirely)
The Miller case is so murky, and further complicated for the Spurs by Primo. I personally think that the initial reporting + headlines vastly overstated Miller's role in what happened, and he's never going to fully recover from that. I think so much of what's out there has an explanation that makes him seem innocent/unknowing of what was going on, but at some point, when you are coming up for an excuse for 2, 3, 4 different seemingly damning things, it feels futile. IDK what'll happen if we end up outside the top 3 and he's available. I do think he'd be a great fit on our roster strictly looking at basketball.
Even If the Spurs feel the same way that you (and I) do about Miller, hopefully they’ll effectively maintain the charade that they have interest in him, if for no other reason than to facilitate a trade with a team that has fewer concerns about him. Considering that multiple draft experts having him as high as number two, if San Antonio doesn’t land in the top 3 and he’s still on the board, just passing on him completely rather than using him as potential trade capital seems like malpractice.

Masterful handling of the Miller situation in the article.

So this tells me Ausar isn’t dropping outside top ten. Bummer. Was hoping we could trade up for a second 1st rounder.
Is Black a better prospect than Ben Simmons was?
