Mario Chalmers or Mike Miller 

Post#1 » by He Hate Me » Wed Nov 4, 2009 7:22 am

I have Chalmers, and I admit I like what he's doing. He's hitting almost 1 three (and i expect this to go up) and getting more than 2 steals every game. His assists are basically a bonus, but he's got TO problems. He doesn't really shoot alot either. The guy doesn't board and doesn't get blocks, but he's a PG what can I really expect. Longevity here is great, he's young with no injury history and only Arroyo to compete with.

Then there's Mike Miller. He's really been rebounding well so far at 9rpg, and he seems to have locked up the starting position, although if Foye catches fire Miller hits the bench. Anyway MM hits at least a 3 a game, but doesn't really score a lot. I don't need scoring so I'm ok with that (and he's comparable to Chalmers here anyway). MM does get assists too. He's a really good passer and hasn't shown it all that much yet for the wiz but I expect him to be around 4.5 apg when the season's done. He been stealing well, 7 steals in 4 games. Not a block yet.

Who do you take? Should I drop Mario Chalmers for MM?

If you can stomach the hit in steals you might as well.

Miller is averaging 1.8 spg right now but he won't keep that up. For his career Miller averages 0.7 spg, the last two years he was 0.5 and 0.4 respectively... I could see him returning to the 0.7-0.8 spg range this season...

Also in regards to Miller's rebounds when Jamison comes back they'll take a hit so keep that in mind; 6-7 rpg still won't be out of the question, but I'm just saying...

I agree, Miller is so versatile, he's very useful in the long run. He might get injured and his rebounding likely will go down as mentioned. Still a great pickup until then.
