Good night for him
Would you mind posting them every game and just updating the top post?
Love to see actual highlights. No telling if the games were televised or not though.
Did he play 3 or 2 ??
Trying to edit my post from Firefox but its not letting me so having to post from tapatalk.
Didnt realize that I just posted his stats and not the category, sorry about that.

Listed at Guard in the box score that I saw, but they also had two other guards listed in the starting 5, so I imagine he was at the 3

Ask and you shall receive, I haven't actually watched them yet though

Ignore that starting 5 comment he didnt start, I forgot they leave positions for who's in at the end of games. But he was one of 3 Guards listed on the floor at the end
I think my TV guide showed that the Iowa Energy play the Austin Toros tonight on NBATV, Thursday, January 10, 2013, 7:00 PM central, if anyone cares to check out D-Miller. They've been showing a bunch of D-league games this week on NBATV, though I know you can catch them on youtube.
A bit off topic...I don't see how some people think the D-league will help Rivers. Please look at these D-league games and tell me if you still think that.
Sorry guys, haven't been keeping up with this. Through 4 dleague games here is Darius' averages:
PPG: 12.5
RPG: 3.8
APG: 1.0
SPG: 0.2
BPG: 0.8
FT: 75%
FG: 43%
3: 47%
In 31.5 minutes per game.
Only Dleague stat I care about from Miller
3: 47%
If he can hit open 3s and defend/rebound adequately he'll be fine at backup SF.
Darius is someone that the D-League can actually help. He's already got the requisite skills, just needs to keep honing them with more minutes
D-League isn't for raw players with a lot to learn in every aspect.
Only took two shots? Interesting.
MAN it would be nice to have another 3 point capable 3 man. Aminu's shot is just laughable right now :hihi:
I'm not surprised he only took 2 shots. He should be working on his defense and rotations and hopefully this is the case.
Which team has the rights to this Morris Almond? He's killed it in all these games.
I'm not sure if anyone has rights to Almond. He was drafted by Utah but I don't think he's played for an NBA team in a couple of seasons.
ETA: Looks like he played 4 games for Washington last season.

Another great game.
Does anyone know if he is coming off the bench at the 2 or 3 position?
This one from the day beforeAttachment 4594
When he starts he is listed as a f. So prob a 3
Good. Good. Keep proving his worth. Get his shot confidence up. When we recall him, we begin the crushing of all enemy bones.
Almonds a monster.
Very good stats ! I'm sure he can get more rebounds and assists. He can turn to a very good all around player for us.
I hope he's coming back soon to strengthen our bench :)
Glad to see he keeps hitting 3s well. He should be good enough on defense once he learns his responsibilities and rotations.

Efficient.
Sounds like Miller got a call up.

On the bus w/ #Hornets to visit St Jude's Children's Hospital, and guess who's on it? Darius Miller. He's getting lots of hugs from players
I hope that they are giving Rivers a surprise trip to Iowa. That guy could use it.
I don't expect Miller to become much of anything but I'd be thrilled if he could develop into a player who can help space the floor in the corner and play good defense.
If Miller can hit corner threes, he is worth it to this team. The amount of time we kick out to the 3 position, and it's Aminu, I find myself wishing for a Delfino type. Just pull up and shoot that kick-out 90% of the time.
