Care to explain. Am I wrong in saying that miles is strictly a catch and shoot shooter that is a decent defender. While ross has way more creativity in his game, has a growing floor game, and can create his own whenever he wants and get it off whenever he wants compared to miles because he is a considerably better ball handler, and has more creativity in his game with his crossovers and go to moves. Not saying Ross is some go to player btw.
About a third of Miles shots are spot ups. The rest are off screens etc. Yes he get shis shot off very quick and is good at it. But a big part of his game IS shots after coming off screens. Calling him just a catch and shoot player is wrong. You don't have to be a ballhandler in the way Ross was to be something other than a catch and shoot player. Seems to me there's more than being a pure shooter or a player that creates his own shot and there's definately a middle ground.
Literally the first two videos I saw I can use as examples.
Lowry and Miles in the PNR with Lowry as the ballhandler is going to be something no team can defend well without two very solid man on man and PNR defenders. And if you do that while playing smallball with Miles at the 4, its harder to stop.
He's not going to be the leading scorer or option 1, 2 and maybe 3, but saying he's just a shooter is just bad.
I have no idea how we ended up talking about Miles in a thread that isn't about him, but it deserved a response.
Fair enough.
