Nope. Miller will be the backup. I think Ray is gone this offseason, probably as trade filler or to offload salary. He's a hundred times better than Jimmer, but has the same problems as him in that he's an undersized two guard. Lacks PG skills and SG size. He also struggles defensively against quick PGs, and often lacks the size to guard SGs. Utah totally had their way with him tonight. His ceiling isn't far off if he hasn't reached it already, which is too good to be a third string guard, but not quite good enough to be a second stringer.
Wow, can't remember when a guard tandem going 8-19 meant "having their way with him".
