The Dallas Mavericks have officially released their NBA Summer League roster and Kentucky’s Darius Miller is on the team.
Here is the synopsis from Mavs.com:
Miller has spent all three seasons in his career with the New Orleans Pelicans after playing four seasons at the University of Kentucky, including the 2011-12 championship team featuring Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
The 6′ 8″ small forward didn’t receive much playing time before being waived by the Pelicans last season. Ultimately, Miller opted to play overseas with eventual German Bundesliga champion Brose Baskets. He averaged 10.1 points on 52.4 percent shooting from the field and 51.6 percent from beyond the arc.
Most known for his long-range ability, Miller has the chance to shoot his way back into the NBA. He shot 39.3 percent from deep during his rookie season and his career average sits at a solid 35.1 percent. There’s always room in this league for shooters, and especially young ones.
Here is hoping Darius can make the team and be around for a possible NBA Finals run.
