To me it seems that Mike Miller has essentially just regressed into a James Jones clone. All he can do is camp out around the 3pt line and hit open shots at a decent percentage. Both guys have very similar stats, and both contribute nearly nothing else on offense aside from their jump shooting. Mike Miller used to be able to do so much more, but at this point it's foolish to expect that he could ever return to being the type of player he was earlier in his career.

So if both players are pretty much redundant which player would you rather see get the playing time? What distinguishing quality gets you to favor one over the other?

Give Miller a Coach like Thibs that will give him confidence and create opportunities for him and he'll blow K. korver out of the park.

If we can get all of our bench players to look for theirs more often when open (while not forcing it and playing in the flow of the game) then we will be ok.
