He supposedly turned in his phone, plus they can easily access all the text records . If there is a reason to press charges it will happen . That obviously changes everything.
Having had some exposure to people that work in NBA scouting departments, I think it is really oversold how much criminal charges matter here. Just in this one incident, there's just ALOT of bad decision making, over and over and over. From what we know:
- He allowed someone to store a gun in his car, that was not his
- After his friend has been drinking, he agrees to bring the gun back to him
- After seeing the situation escalating, he does not intervene or just turn his car around
- Not only that, law enforcement claims he helped block the victim in with his vehicle
- After the murder, he meets with the AD and DOES NOT disclose he was communicating with the shooter (with the Athletic Director or his coach)
Specifically, Byrne told ESPN’s College Gameday podcast that the school did not know about Miles’ text message request to Miller asking the freshman forward to bring Miles’ gun to the scene. “That information was new to me,” Byrne said Wednesday. “I had not been told that before.”
That is just a lot of bad to me. The pattern of behavior continuing, like not telling the AD he had been communicating with Davis is probably the bigger one from a red flag perspective. I can try to get some reaction from a few of my scouting friends and post quotes.......but I would imagine there are many teams that don't need to see or hear much more to just take him off their board. I won't speak for everyone........but evaluating character and talking yourself in to it being a more isolated incident starts to break apart pretty quickly when post incident, he's not clearly laying out everything that happened with the AD and Coach. Teams are really going to want answers on that I would guess.......and how he answers the question with teams "Why didn't you tell your athletic director or coach you had texted with the murder suspect that night?" will probably determine wether he does or does not stay on some teams' boards.
As of right now it appears he did not actually touch the gun or particulate in any attempt to block cars or cover up a crime .
Based on what? His Lawyers statement? I think it is pretty hard to reconcile how his windshield was shot twice if he was not blocking the victim's vehicle. His Lawyer stated "the Jeep pulled up behind him, while Miller just sat in his car". Ok, really? So we are all to believe the victim's car is behind Miller and somehow two bullets go through just his windshield? And Miller is just hanging out? Talk me through the physics of this. Gun being shot at victim's car, gun being shot returning fire.......all this happening behind Miller's car (claims his lawyer) and bullets are going through his windshield? Ok. Not a lot adding up here right? Pretty easy to envision how the bullets got there if his car is parked bumper to bumper to the victim though.
Wether it is right or wrong ( ethical issue) most teams won’t pass on a player who could turn into a top 20 nba player if he never gets charged and they are convinced he won’t be a problem in the community or locker room .
That isn't really my argument here. The Browns also traded a slew of picks and guaranteed $200 million to a guy who exposed himself to probably 100's of women. Wasn't convicted of a crime, still seems like a pretty suspect decision almost a year later......and it is a decision that could cost a good GM his job.
