If he can replace the Nowell/Jmac minutes with some high efficiency bench play, that's a big upgrade.
But he has to be a passer too and developing some chemistry with Naz could give us a pretty lethal bench unit.
The film i've seen of him in Philly seems to indicate he's more of a crafty scorer and doesn't wow you with his athleticism, handle, or natural shooting ability.
I feel the same that he is more a Nowell replacement, but Connelly mentioned they see him as PG. Also, Finch mentioned he should be great in running pick and roll with Gobert (which I can see why from film). If I assume everyone just be as good as last year. Milton is the biggest unknown as we expecting him to do a lot more (or more minutes) than what he did in Philly.
Don't forget that Naz is a heavy pick-and-roll big too. I expect that combo to thrive leading the second unit.
Yes, JMcL is too small to be effective at P&R and Milton seems to have the mid range, layup, and passing to make it work.
