Top 10 Unrestricted Mid-Level Free Agents

For all his ridiculous tats and continual play for the bottom feeders of the NBA, Mike Miller has appeared to gel into a solid/high IQ player. Yeah, he's not going to play that good man defense but neither has most SG's in Utah.

He is of course way over paid not at 9+ mil. If The Jazz can get him for about half of that I'd give him a shot.

Don't we already have Mike Miller in Korver or Hayward?
 
Well, we don't really have Korver anymore. While I'm not as down on the Hayward pick as most around here, I will say I fully expect him to get overwhealmed at times on defense and as a result will see some serious pine time his rookie year.

While I was a fan of Korver I will say Miller is a more complete player. While Korver might have stretched the defense a bit more than Miller does - Miller does have the ability to put it on the floor while still commanding a body on him from 20+ feet out. And yeah Miller is a below average man defender, but if he buys into the Utah system like Korver did, I have no doubt he can make the same defensive contributions.

What impresses me most about Miller is that as he becomes older he doesn't seem to make a lot of bad decisions (not counting his personal appearance) - maybe it was just because he was surrounded by a bunch of hacks in Washington last year; but I think he has a high b-ball IQ and could fit well in Utah.
