He averaged 17.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, shooting 44.0% from the field, 37.4% from three-point range, and 55.2% from the field. While everyone's attention was on Wenban and Chet, in fact, Miller also cashed in on his talent. With a height of 2.06 meters and excellent projection ability, Miller is now known as "Little George" and has the potential to become a superstar.
The height of 2.06 meters can play inside in this era, but Miller's style of play is not like this. Holding the ball and shooting on the outside, and having a certain control and dribbling skills will also attack the basket is Miller's mainstream style of play. Isn't this a proper superstar style of play? And often this superstar style of play is usually very inefficient due to a lack of shooting consistency, especially for a rookie, but Miller's efficiency is enough because he has a very good shooting ability.
The true shooting percentage of 55.2% is not high, it can only be said that it is average, and Miller has most of his three-point shots, and his three-point shooting rate is also okay, so it stands to reason that his true shooting percentage should be good. The reason why Miller's true shooting percentage is not high is not limited to mid-to-long-range shooting, but that the finishing under the basket is too low, which is completely different from other rookies. Probably because his body is still a little thin, Miller's finishing efficiency under the basket is not good, shooting only 53.5% from the field, which is well below the league average.
On the flip side, Miller was able to maintain a mid-level finish with such a low finishing efficiency under the basket, which shows how efficient he is at finishing in other areas. Take a look at Miller's shooting distribution map, a rookie, this shooting heat map is not envious. If nothing else, at least in terms of shooting feel, Miller is top-notch. And that's often something that a lot of young players don't have.
With his shooting prowess, 2.06m, and a high pick, it's hard not to expect anything from Miller. If it weren't for the historical "unicorn" talent monsters like Wenban and Chet, Miller would have paid more attention. But the problem is that he ran into Wenban, coupled with a small ball market like the Hornets, so his attention is not high. But that doesn't stop him from potentially growing into a superstar in the future.
