Interesting signing. i wonder why him?
I've heard positive things about him (to the extent you hear positive things about marginal players) but I cannot claim to have any real information on him beyond that. Not a Thornwell expert here.
I think he is supposed to be a good defender. Does this mean we release Miller or is someone not going to Orlando?
I think I read 17 players on roster to Orlando
Prob taking Grays spot since we won’t need a point guard. Would have preferred a bigger guy like Blossomgame.
Another guard....
Moore getting kicked to curb?
Miller himself said that due to lockdown he still hasn't played even 3-on-3, and he has no idea if he's actually going to play in Orlando yet. So while I wouldn't absolutely rule it out, I also would not bet on it. And frankly, I don't see many minutes free for him anyway

And there we have it. Miller is not travelling to Orlando.
Nate Duncan seems to think this could be a nice pickup for the Pels. Likes his outlook for next season if Vinson can fix his shot. Not sure how much time Vinson will have to focus on Thornwell though
I remember loving him in college. Don't remember what he did when he was in the league, and it seems like he didn't do much. Maybe he could get better.
