I bet ya Scoot dominates in his debut.  25 points and looks like he belongs.  We will see Friday.  That said now that Miller is a hornet, I hope he will develop but.  As my last hurray as a scoot train guy I'm gonna take the over on scoot scoring more than Miller in summer league debut. 

I wouldn’t look too much into it. Scoot is going to be the PG so he will get way more touches. Miller’s PGs weren’t a fan of passing.

I've been on the Scoot train but Miller really did surprise me in his summer league debut. He was pretty awful in the first quarter but quickly turned it around. He is surprisingly very smooth with the ball and he can play defense. As much as I wanted Scoot, Miller probably is the better choice since we already have Lamelo. 

Don't think he will score more than 18. I guess it depends where they play him though.

I'm not worried about Miller after one summer league game. The talent is there. But looking at some of the other  performances the Hornets clearly still have a knack for putting players on the court that look like they don't even belong in the sport.

Looks like we will get Miller vs Wemby after all. Supposedly he's playing Friday.

 

Should be fun.

Miller has always been smooth. It's why people think he's nothing special. Nothing stands out because he plays the game under control. He does look like Paul George the more I watch him.

Kai Jones doesn't box out at all.smh

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.

Sure would be nice to have an actual modern NBA offensive system or at least ball movement

[Shocker]

Good to be able to see the Hornets play on TV for change.  Not much defense going on here

Bouknight looking like he belongs here meaning fringe as hell

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.

Bailey looking good, smooth

Don't forget that was in seven minutes or less of play time too.

Weak foul called against Kai Jones
