"I think the way he's reading the game, reading defenses, he's understanding his spots, he's making some quicker decisions. Obviously he's gotten stronger."
"He has a lot of talent and a really bright future. I'm excited to see where he takes
it," Tatum continued.
Unfortunately for Miller, he was forced to leave the game in the second quarter due to a groin injury. Before heading to the locker room, Miller had tallied 8 points, two rebounds, one assist and one block in 14 minutes.
