The performance by Miller continued a strong year in the G League. He has spent the majority of the season with the Wolves after making just eight appearances with Minnesota, and has emerged as one the most productive rookie players.
Miller is averaging 18.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists on 36.7% shooting from 3-point range in 15 games with the Wolves. He has two 30-point games and has registered five double-doubles this season in the G League.
The organization is high on Miller, given his ability as a playmaker and rebounder. He has made strides in improving as a shooter and looks to be developing into a consistent floor spacer.
