Brandon Miller’s line in his second game: 6 points (2 of 4 shooting), 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 8 fouls

Amari Bailey 17 points, 4 rebounds

Nick Smith Jr.: 14 pts, 4 rebounds, 4 assists

Kai Jones: 12 points, 4 rebounds

Bryce McGowens: 10 points, 3 rebounds

Great passing by BMiller especially finding the rolling bigs. I wish he was more assertive even when he was getting hard doubled. I am still concerned about his strength, burst, and fouling.

BUT BIG UPS TO AMARI BAILEY. Love that guy.

Also Gui Santos cooking Miller are memories that I want to forget: [https://twitter.com/JoeVirayNBA/status/1676722706677665792](https://twitter.com/JoeVirayNBA/status/1676722706677665792)

  1. Well something to note. The warriors were doubling him a ton of possessions.

    Also the other four guards took 44 attempts. Like come on man.

  5. B mill would’ve had 15 assists if he was playing with people that could shoot tonight. The fouling is definitely an issue, and it was super frustrating to see him not involved more in the action, though.

    Kai looked like a god tonight. I really was happy with him.

    Mostly everything else was meh or terrible in terms of guys already on the team. Bailey and Smith had some good signs though which is good

  6. The fouls are a concern for now, but it’s very fixable. I like that he took a playmaking role this game.

  7. Does anyone else think the Warriors double teaming Miller every possession was kind of weird? I don’t recall a lot of team defense in the summer league, lol

  8. I really liked the flashes from a lot of our guys. Nnaji was impactful on defense the little he played, Bailey looked great, NSJ was knocking down jumpers well and Miller looked great with his passing. Miller has a great feel for the game, I think once we have a playmaker he should look better scoring.

  10. His strength is just his problem. It’s messing up his explosion and his game, but I believe once he can really get in the gym after summer league and lift. His mentality also 4 months off, and you didn’t get any stronger or better. He should demand they give him the ball

  12. There’s a lot I wanna say about the staff and the construction of our summer league teams but I’ll hold that rant.

    The good: Kai, Amari, Nick, Bryce (that’s not even saying much)

    Everyone else. These games are never fun and it always looks like nobody ever practiced together, meanwhile the other teams always end up cooking us.

    Also I wanted Brandin on the team, even made a post about him. I’m glad he’s doing good

  14. Miller really needs some guards to set him up, the current ones aren’t doing him any favors. Mark dealt with the same problem last summer league, now look at him.

  15. Darko Milleričić is really good at fouling and unable to actually get his own shot. Thanks again Jordan

  16. I was on team Scoot predraft but I can’t even say I’m worried because its comical how poorly Miller is being used either by staff or just the complete ineptness of the guards and McGowens, hard to tell which.

    Matt Barnes sitting there saying he needs to be more aggressive while Bryce and NSJ miss him standing there wide open from 3 for the 20th time..lol

    Actually impressed that he restrained himself and tried to provide the team what they were lacking with his own actions the few times he got the ball, even if it didn’t end up amounting to much. Throwing up a bunch of contested iso bricks like Matt Barnes wants for muh aggressiveness is what a bonehead would do.

  17. It’s looking like b mill should probably begin this year in the 2 rotation until he can put on size I’d like to see him after a few months in cliff defensive program
