Miller with 26 PTS on 8/15 shooting and 3 3PTM. He showed great aggressiveness and crafty Nall handling. THAT DUNK.
Nick Smith Jr COOKED in the 4th quarter, scoring 16 of his 33 PTS. My dude may not be a point guard, but he is a POINTS GUARD.
Look at this move by NSJ:

That was a W in spirit
Holup NSJ might be insane?
FINALLY a good game.
Loved what I saw from Miller and Smith tonight. Fun game all around.
Nick Smith snatched Bouknight’s roster spot today
Lots of good came outta this game. Super excited for these guys
Miller/NSJ combining for 59 total points makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Was waiting for a breakout game for them; think we got it
I saw some real promise in the second half tbh
~VINDICATION~
Whoever finally decided to move pg blackholes aka bouknight and Bryce Info the second unit— you get a star. Loved seeing Kai and miller bounce back.
Loved what I saw out of Miller and NSJ. Also Kai Jones had some nice plays. Bouknight is cooked though.
we needed that
Wasn’t able to watch tonight but obviously looks like a good game. Anyone have a summary of things that don’t stand out in the box store?
Didn’t get to watch this one, what was going on that’s not on the boxscore?
Loved this game for us.
Miller looked great finally, it felt like he finally knew where his shots were gonna come from and what he should be hunting. Still passed well and played some good defense too.
NSJ should get rotation minutes immediately, offensively he was great in the 4th but I thought he played well defensively with a lot of effort.
Also just for the rest of SL, Leaky Black needs to play more, when he came in we started to come back. He made some extra passes and wasn’t selfish like most everyone else.
Kai has to step up on Shaedon.. but what a game. NSJ was putting on a show in the 4th!
Another L but a glimmer of hope before we get this off-season training really started
Finally some hope for the young bucks. I didn’t get to watch but seeing this post is getting me hyped!
NSJ’s our bench PG.
Gonna guess our rotation this season is LaMelo/Rozier/Bridges/PJ/Mark with NSJ/Cody/Hayward/Miller/Richards as our bench
i hereby apologise to every negative reaction i had to us drafting brandon miller
I got really big Devonte Graham vibes from NSJ tonight – he’ll be a good backup 1/2
