Another lackluster start for Miller. 4 Fouls and 3 TOs in the 1st quarter and no points. I'm sure he will pad the box score when the game is out of hand though. 

Pad the box score in a summer league game? Lol. These guys are playing for spots they don’t care what the score is or what quarter it is.

How about the assist?

 

He has 1 shot attempt. Stop looking at the box score MillerHater.

Just a realist. Miller should be a Summer League MVP candidate with his advertised pedigree. Amari Bailey is outplaying him through the first two games.

First impressions are important and so far Miller has been a dud. Hopefully it changes.

Bailey has a legit chance to make the big boy roster. I thought he was a meme pick because of his mom. Looks like MJ will have to move that condo out of town. Bailey will be in Charlotte for the long run.

Feels like Kup is much better at 2nd rounders.  Weird.  It is super early man but Miller playing very tentatively which was a serious worry of mine.  He is very passive as a player for long stretches

From what I've watched so far and the last game, Miller is playing point while everyone else wants to take whack shots.  No one on this team wants to play team basketball.  I like what I'm seeing from Njanni though.

Miller reminds me more of Tobias Harris than the Paul George claims.  It's still extremely early, but he's passive and doesn't create for himself well so far.  LaMelo is gonna have to set him up a lot.  It's a game and a half so I won't panic yet, but definitely apprehensive a little so far.

Bouk is trash im sorry but he is useless.

Truth GIF
 

Nick Smith is a smooth player but he needs to get under control.  It’s like he has never seen a defensive drill in practice too.

If Bouk can’t hit any shots he is not going to make it.  He isn’t good at anything else

Kai Jones has incredible athleticism but his basketball IQ is like zero.  Wild

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
