Miller needs to be the spot guy. He is too limited athletically and is a huge liability defensively. He would have to be a 20 or per game scorer to make up for it.
I don’t think Miller can even dunk at 6’5”.
Gladney is a better compliment to Gant. He can help protect the rim. Even if he only had a couple out backs a game, his +/- would be better than Miller.
Gant is a top tier defensive player.
When Gladney was in the team ran the court faster and had some stops and rebounds, Miller is not a D1 rebounder or defensive player. His ____ selection is terrible and he turns the ball over at a high rate.
I doubt he has a 20 inch vertical. He is the worst athlete to ever play basketball at UL
Dude Stroman had 10 turnovers and played so out of control at times last night. But then had the two big free throws and the layup at the end to pretty much close the game out. See a pattern here? The only thing consistent about this team is their inconsistency. They play good in spurts and then next thing you know they look completely lost. It’s not just Miller
Miller is a maddening player. For every great play he can make, he can come back and give you two horrible ones. It doesn't help that he is an under the rim guy who doesn't help a lot on defense and doesn't rebound particularly well at either end. Unfortunately, Gladney is in no position to give us better minutes than Miller does though.
Who else is going to get those boards? He's getting them by default alone. When I see opposing players get offensive rebounds, I see Miller's man who is getting them and they are just outworking him and other players. We are a much worse rebounding team this year, even when we had Marquetti, and I think some of that is having Miller in more and losing a guy like Bryce.
