The Milk Shake Milton thread
So excited to have this guy on our team; I feel like he was the Naz Reid of his team and was stuck behind Harden/Maxey/Melton even though he had serious game.

I think it's a great signing and I would not be surprised at all if he is starting over a healthy Conley later in the season.

Does he play pg? Just read his scouting report, seems like a score first combo guy and not very good on D. Almost identical to Nowell but with a better 3pt shot and bigger.

That is Nowell with KA all over again.

Yes and in games he started last year averaged over 7 assists a game.

Based on what?
Philly fans are pretty sad to see him leave.

“He brings something to the table,” Embiid said. “I always expect a perfect pocket pass when we run a pick-and-roll, me and him. We haven’t had a lot of great ball handlers and great passers out of the pick-and-roll since I’ve been here. We didn’t have anyone like that before James. Shake was the best we had on the team at that. He’s really good at it. Shake is up there as far as reading the defense and making those types of plays.”

Shake and Big Jelly about to feast in the pick and roll.

Just go ahead and Google scouting report or draft report with his name. I am not saying he is, just what I read. Don't get defensive yet, he hadn't play a game in wolves uniform

Re: The Milk Shake Milton thread
Fantastic signing for the Wolves. He’s a rock solid guard that has the size to defend SGs and the playmaking skills to run backup PG. His shot disappeared for a couple years in Philly but he regained it last year. Unfortunately we just didn’t have a lot of minutes for him with Harden/Maxey/Melton on the team.
He’ll be a substantial upgrade over Nowell in the rotation imo.

I'd like to nominate "Milton Bradley" because the guy has game.

Re: The Milk Shake Milton thread
I think the biggest thing I'll be keeping an eye on is his propensity to sometimes dribble the air out of the basketball. Luckily he's good enough to usually make something happen but that's a habit I'd like to see broken.
