Gotta see if he can play in the real league first. But he's a guy we should've picked as Dragic insurance.

I wouldn't put too much stock in what he did in the d-league. He played in his first game against the clippers and looked alright, but it's way too early to tell if he can transition his game to the NBA.

If u don't want to look at his D league games, check his Olympic games and
also the warm up game vs the USA where he straight up burnt chris Paul a number of times. (check YouTube)

mills Is the real deal, I was extatic when he was on the board with out pick, he will stick in the NBA and has the potential to be at least as effective as barbosa, if not better

Still puzzles me why we didn't take him instead with our 2nd rounder...

goran is playing out to be more like barbosa - an international PG whos game translates to the SG position far better....

mills would have been crazy in this system, I remember telling Dave Griffin myself to draft mills (though that was so the suns get more coverage in australia haha) I would have taken him at pcik 25 onwards so the fact he was still there in the second round amazed me, and im still annoyed we didnt get him

heres some highlights from the olympic warmup against USA - you tell me that would have looked good on the suns

he is the guy in the 3rd clip onwards
