He was 0-for-5, didn't score. Had 3 fouls and 3 turnovers, grabbed a few rebounds, but in terms of points it was jack diddley denada, bupkus. He was the All American 0-fer today. Hate to see a top-5 prospect get shut out by a team from Corpus Christi, but hey.

His team still nearly scored like 100 points though.

Damn I didn't see that coming. I have Alabama in my final 4 mostly due to Miller. I was worried about his mental state after the shooting incident.
BTW I just found out today that former NBA player darius miles is the one who committed the homicide. No idea how I missed that. Crazy

Fish you really need to get your brain checked.

Alabama should be the favorite to win the tourney. They'll be fine. Miller just was off and didn't assert himself. There is another Darius Miles who was involved in the incident with Brandon Miller. It's not the former NBA player.
 
Miller was playing a 16 seed and didnt need to score points. IT's nothing to read into.

Miller's had a number of great games since the shooting.

just googled it and i guess the alabama players name was darius miles. this morning on the tv in the break room i thought it said former nba player darius miles on the fox 13 news report. maybe they had a typo. maybe i misread it. No biggie.

Fish never change bruh
 
Arkansas melting
 
Jebus… this is some JH stuff
 
I’m not convinced Musselman is a great coach. They went full spaz trying to break the press… they take like zero threes… just feels like he could do more with this talent

He is tho. Just a bad fitting team. Also think Black kind of sucks as a college player and might suck as a NBA player too. Hs to get more comfortable shooting off the dribble and not just paint floaters.
 
I think Black is safe in that he will be at least a good defensive player.

The offense might be Exum-esque tho.

I expect Arkansas to get beat by 10+ against Kansas

It wasn’t really a story… it was more a comment on a pod type of thing… basically just that he goes to work on game days with his training… and it might explain why he can fade a little in the second half… but just think about it… he doesn’t really care as much how the g league team is doing and more that he’s improving… I think basing the evaluation too much on production in his case might be a mistake. He’s likely not looking at game day the same way some would.

And lol that it’s leaked for a reason… you can just look at his body and tell he works. I doubt he’s trying to convince anyone he’s a worker because he doesn’t need to.

The shooting is the swing skill… but that’s where he goes from all star ceiling to like all nba first team type of stuff. I’d bet on it for us for sure… if a team with an established all star pg lands #2 then they should consider Miller. The fit is enticing with him… I’ll admit that.

I think the rub with him, and I've seen this on twitter as well, is that he hasn't improved very much YOY. His numbers in his first year were extremely impressive for how young he was and that's why he came into this year as a clear #1 level prospect for me. The lack of progress has definitely dampened my excitement of him. He's not bad, but just not a generational PG prospect in my eyes. There are a myriad of excuses for every player no matter competition they play in, and some of them are valid, but at some point the production has to matter.

The biggest worry about the shot is that he simply does not take many. If I'm going to buy into this "he's not looking great because he's working on his game" stuff, I would at least like to see him attempt to be the player he needs to be in order to be a star in the NBA. His 3 point rate and free throw rate are dangerously low. That's what worries me more than the percentages. Tough living to survive in the NBA like this, and I don't think he's not taking 3's or FT's because he's holding back. Guards who are efficient but don't shoot 3's or FT's don't really exist in the NBA.
