But from Day 1 of the offseason, he was the No. 1 choice of coach Nate McMillan. "Our coach is very happy,'' general manager Kevin Pritchard said. McMillan said he felt an instant connection with the free agent point guard. "I felt like I kind of knew him already,'' McMillan said. "Because in a sense, we were similar as players, as far as not being great scorers or shooters, but we made our teams better because of our feel for the game and our I.Q.'' Miller's savvy and basketball IQ are what sold the Blazers on giving him the keys to one of the most efficient offenses in the NBA. It's not that the Blazers were lacking intelligence from starter Steve Blake - Blake is always among the NBA's leaders in assist-to-turnover ratio. But now, the Blazers imagine they will have one of the headiest point guard tandems in the league."---http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/07/blazers_notebook_miller_was_mc.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
