Mike Miller not wanting to shoot

Postby yungal07 on Tue Nov 03, 2009 10:35 pm

Ok...I was semi-worried about this during the preseason, but now that the season has started -- this is unacceptable. He shot three times tonight - the same number as shots as Desuck and only one more than Oberto. He is averaging 5 shots a game so far this season.

The guy simply NEEDS to take more shots. Flip and Gilbert need to find a way to incorporate him more into the offensive flow, and Mike needs to make a concerted effort to be more aggressive in looking to shots. He is simply too good of a shooter to not get more shots off, and it IS hurting the team. Other than that, the guy has been excellent. He has done everything else well, but it's frustrating to watch Deshawn jack up misses while a great shooter takes 1 shot a quarter.

I don't get it. This pissed us wolves fans off last year. He will never take the shots he needs to take. He could easily average 10-15 PPG for you guys but he refuses to shoot. It's infuriating, he's a great shooter.
