We already have a great three

I don't know what Miller did to get in CCM's doghouse, but, its time to let him out.

He has had chances to get out of the doghouse. One good performance isn't going to undo all the crap performances he has acquired.

Exactly. He hasn't been playing for a reason. Also, he got burned a couple times on defense tonight that weren't acceptable.

I saw him get burned. Just wondering that we haven't seen much of him after the first half of the Pitt game.

Defense. Also, despite tonight's shooting display, he has brought nothing offensively from what we have seen.

Same can be said for a number of our players. It seems if he gets the minutes that he comes though. JMO

Im confused by the title, we already have a great 3??? are you referring to his position??

what post players can you say that about???

if he was a 2 or 3 im sure hed have had his shot, but he plays post. maymon, stokes and hall before he was suspended were light years better than miller.

he didnt deserve minutes over any one of those 3 guys.

[DaDuRkEr]

I was confused as well. His skill set is not on the wing

[bleedingTNorange]

yea im not really sure if the OP just made a typo, or if he is confused with what position miller is...

I couldn't disagree more. In his limited minutes, 44 for the season now, he has scored 22 points. That's pretty darn efficient.

He seems to make several impressive individual defensive plays, but his overall understanding of team defense is lagging behind. Perhaps he just needs some live playing time to improve that. With his offensive efficiency, I think we could tolerate him getting beaten on defense occasionally.

Disagree. I hadn't seen him shoot the ball like that last night. All his buckets were offensive putbacks or easy buckets near the rim.

[bleedingTNorange]

he reminded me a lot of weezy tonight, popping out for those 3's. imo if im ccm, im busting his butt on learning the D in practice, because if his actual game is him being able to hit that 3 that could be a nice addition.

with that said, as long as kenny is suspended he will continue to get some minutes. yemi is just bad imo at this point, he cant do anything offensively, if he gets the ball posted up it's either a walk or he's falling out of bound or throwing it away. he also gets lost on defense pretty regularly as well, so id expect to see miller get his chances atleast until hall returns, if he does.

Well aren't putbacks offense? Even better, they are offense AND rebounding. You said he had brought nothing offensively. I don't understand that. If you meant to say perimeter offense, I would agree. I don't think anyone could foresee him as a perimeter threat, but I think 22 points in 44 minutes speaks volumes. Perhaps if we had seen him more, we would know more about him.

And I'm sure there is a reason he's not playing.

If he continues to play like this, fantastic. Just don't believe he well.

And yes, putbacks are offense, but I was talking more about offensive skill in terms of post moves, shooting, driving, etc.

Obviously, there is a reason he isn't playing, but I don't think its his offense. He plays at a deep position and as we have stated, his defense is lagging behind. Perhaps his practice habits need work too, although having heard him in interviews, I don't see him as the lazy type. I think he suffers from playing at a position that is deeper than what we thought it would be before the season.
