The majority of LSU fans overrated Adam Miller coming into this season due to several reasons including: Will Wade spoke highly of him and the fact that he stayed with LSU.

Although I do think Ace would play slightly better on a better team, the individual aspects of his game are poor. He is an extremely awful decision maker; he has terrible shot IQ, terrible passing IQ, and chucks shots. His defense isn’t bad though.

He wasn’t this mythical player at Illinois that everyone thinks he was. He played with two NBA level players, shot close to the same efficiency from the field, and overall didn’t display much more than he’s showing here. It’s time to stop overrating him and be real with his abilities. Stop defending him just because you like him and Will Wade said he was really good.

He isn't the same player since his injury.

He’s not meant to be the focal point.

#1. The injury definitely has something to do with it.

#2. This team is bad. If you put other good players around, he would get more open looks. He shouldn’t be shooting 12 times a game.

#3. Stop blaming Will Wade.

Dude, if you started this account to do whatever this nonsense is, then okay.

I don't know how to talk with you guys.

Miller was crushing it in practices at LSU and Wade prior to his ACL.

You can just gfy imo.

I'm a nice guy, but I mean that sincerely.

What the hell are you talking about? Just about every poster on here is saying his performance sucks and they are not defending anything he does.

Unless I am mistaken, Miller has 3 years of eligibility after this one, so he has time to improve. I think he should be in a 6th man role, providing a spark off the bench.

OK, thanks for making the thread telling me how to feel about LSU basketball.
Did you make an account just for this purpose?

This is good. We needed another thread about how bad Adam Miller is.

I don’t see him as being able to consistently get to his own shot. Nothing wrong with that. It’s fairly common in fact.

Looks like to me he needs a rhythm that doesn’t include multiple dribbles. Run him off two screens into the first two-thirds of the the three point line pass him the ball if the defender goes underneath and let him pop.

He is no where near the player he was pre injury, that's the truth and all there really is to it.

Why doesn't he dribble in a little closer and shoot since he absolutely sucks at 3's?

The truth is that as a basketball player, he’s below average at the collegiate level.

I saw him play on the Gold Medal Winning Team at the 19U World Championships a few years back for Team USA. He was the Best Player on that team. This is not the same player.
