Think back to this time last year, when virtually everyone assumed Jabari Smith Jr. was a lock to go No. 1. Then the whispers started just prior to draft night about a sudden change and, boom, Paolo Banchero became the Orlando Magic's top pick. Safe to say, there will be no such switcheroo come next Thursday night, when the San Antonio Spurs will assuredly fulfill Victor Wembanyama's destiny as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft. However, there will be intrigue immediately afterward, when the Charlotte Hornets will have to decide between Scoot Henderson, long considered the next-best thing to Wembanyama in this draft, and Brandon Miller, whose incredible college season put him in the mix at No. 2. Logic dictates that if the Hornets evaluate Henderson and Miller as close to the same level of prospect, they should take the player that fits best. In this case, that would likely be Miller, since Charlotte already has a ball-dominant point guard in LaMelo Ball. For me, however, Henderson and Miller aren't that close.
