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 feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
