Mike Miller was almost 19 ppg last season

...that Mike Miller averaged almost 19ppg this past year?

[kwajo]

Yes ... because he's awesome ... and a Grizzly!

on 46% shooting and 40% 3P%

yep he would be quite the role player on a contending team. but the fact that he put up good stats on a bad team do not accord him any special honors

He's put up good numbers on very good teams for years, like all those 50 win Grizzlies teams

of course. not doubting his ability or saying this is a fluke. i guess you took the "good stats on a bad team" quote the wrong way. Gasol was out for a while and even when he came back, the Grizzlies decided to tank. whether it was active tanking or not, the casual analyst will merely brush off Miller as "good stats on a bad team"

maybe next season he makes a bigger name for himself? after all, his biggest highlight right now is getting clotheslined by Kobe.


and the Grizzlies still do not have a playoff win... so yeah..

don't remind me...

He was quite a sleeper this year, forgot he even existed. It was probably the fact that he was on the worst team last season. I don't know.

Ricky Davis for Mike Miller!

*wakes up*

So Mike Miller FINALLY is living up to his expectations? Awesome. Can we see it continue if not improve next year is the ultimate question.

I dont think the "good stats on a horrible team" routine works here. We've had more than enough of these flukes in recent history, and almost always those players not only sported high scoring averages, but low shooting percentages as well. 46/40 is far from bad, actually its better than average for SG's.

[Rockets(T-mac)]

He is a great role player and if he could work on his drive he would pretty hard to guard.

Mike Miller is a smart player with good size and a great shot. even with this he's mediocre. who cares? do you see anyone jumping up and down to add him to their team? I bet Miami would love him. there are teams that could use a guy like him. but he's not anything special. 19ppg with no defense on the worst team in the league, sorry if that's not blowing me away.

the Rockets are another team that could use him. he'd do good playing with a guy like Tmac again. in fact he'd be a good 3 for any team with a superstar SG who wouldn't mind having to exert a little effort on D in exchange for some help on O. he'd be a great Laker too.

[dirkdiggler41]

Lets not forget that he played 40min a game

[kobedaman24]

He's a really sharp shooter.. He's strong and can shoot the 3.

I hate his hair though.. lol

[Targus™]

looks like Rick Kamla.
