If people are looking for flashy from him, you're probably going to be disappointed. I think he's one of those players who is better in real-game situations.

At best I think he can be a "true connector". A guy you barely notice, but helps you win.

At worst, he'll be unplayable because he doesn't appear to do anything at a plus level.

Thanks a million for this I had not thought to try ESPN+!
It's attached to Hulu as part of the hulu/disney+ bundle we have for the kid.

The defense is atrocious. Hard to tell if anyone is doing anything good.

I sure liked that reverse layup from their first draft pick. Hawkins? He looks nice.

Killer looking on on O, not really good on D. Minott looking active.

Finch described last season’s injury woes as “shifting sands”.

Miller is physically stronger than pretty much anyone out there

Miller doing nothing on D. Totally ole BS.

Just an FYI, twitter links are no longer viewable by anyone without a twitter account.
They recently made the rather boneheaded and shortsighted decision to force people to log into a twitter account to view tweets.

Miller and Minott look like they're on a whole different level than the rest of the Wolves.

Minott? Why Not!? Fellas, we are clearly championship material!

Miller has an NBA body right now.
Also looks very skilled for a guy his size.
Impressed so far.

Minott still looks undersized to fight in the paint, but is hella quick and active, making some nice cuts.

Moore Jr still looks like a wasted draft pick at this point. What is he supposed to be good at? I don't see anything yet.

T Williams, Moore and Miller gives us some pretty rare ball-movement for a summer league roster.

He's definitely bigger than last year, but has a ways to go.

0 fouls by Miller in the first half, that's unheard of in Summer league, usually bigs have 8 fouls by now.

I look at him more as a 3 than a 4....

He didn’t defend a lick. 0 fouls isn’t a good thing here.

At some point wolves fans will just have to accept that Dell is a swing and a miss by Connelly and that pick should have been Nembhard or Hardy (like a lot of wolves fans wanted).

Oh well at least Connelly made up for that error with Minott and Miller. Miller is like a mix of Naz and Vando.

I’m not seeing the Vando.

Welcome to Summer League. 10 guys running around like chickens with their head's cut off.

It can work OK on offense - although you'll often see the stagnating like we did the first half.

Yeah. He has way better hands and offensive instincts and ability than Vando.
