Darius Miles attempting NBA Comeback, maybe with the Bobcats

On the same day as Game 7 of the NBA finals, Darius Miles is running the floor alongside several players who have never been in the NBA and perhaps never will.

It was hardly the place for a former No. 3 overall pick in the draft. But following what was once called a "career-ending" knee injury and off-court problems, Miles is determined to overcome the rustiness and his balky knee to play in the NBA again.

If it requires being a grunt in the Charlotte Bobcats' obscure free-agent camp the same week the league crowns a champion, so be it.

He is trying out for the Bobcats right now. Or he was yesterday. Brown said he was healthy and looked good. He also said he has always wanted to coach him.

edit: Opps. Did you edit the Bobcats part in or did i completely miss it?

"My body is back," he said after a workout at Time Warner Cable Arena this week. "It's been three, four years since I've been healthy. This time I took off I really just kind of worked on getting my body healed."

Charlotte's Brown never forgot about Miles, whose long, athletic frame feeds Brown's craving of players who can play multiple positions.

"It's been 10 years I've been trying to get him in a gym," Brown said. "Finally did it."

How freaking old is this guy?

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
