Miles Plumlee 

Post#1 » by SmashMouthRod » Fri Dec 20, 2013 6:04 am

Has anyone else noticed how well he's played this season in Phoenix? Very good rebounder, finisher and shot blocker. He looks like he could be better than Mahinmi. And it looks like Phoenix may have got the better of that trade even though Scola has been great. Plumlee and Green have played very well for them and they got a 1st round draft pick.

Well, for one the Suns' roster is not as deep as the Pacers', that's why they are getting good minutes. They will not have that opportunity in Indiana as they will be basically 3rd stringers with the current roster we have.

Plumlee is quite of a surprise. Coming into the season, he was terrific at the summer league. There's a reason why Phoenix wanted him and now it is showing. Hope he keeps the starting spot even with Len healthy.

Plumlee went 17 pts and 20 rbs tonight against gasol and the lakers. Green had 22 pts. Where in the world did he get that shooting touch?

And 20 boards from Plum. I never dreamed he would play this well. Hope Scola is working out for you. Seriously, I do. I always liked that guy.

It has a lot to do with the minutes he's getting there. That whole team has been on fore recently, and I don't mean to call it a fluke, but I don't think he and Gerald Green can keep it up.

They played a lowly laker team that has really nothing to offer not surprised with good numbers

The trade I think was best for everyone. Plumlee and Green get far more minutes on an uptempo team that is essentially rebuilding. The Pacers needed a vet they can count on in Scola.

I always thought plumlee looked like a beast in the making. I think it helps him a lot to be able to get solid minutes, in terms of his development. It was a trade that I think will end up being in Plumlee's best interest, and both teams best interest. I think everyone wins here. I don't think green keeps it up, but wouldn't be surprised at all if Plumlee does.
