Could Darius Miller be the answer at SF?

Maybe the reason Dell did not pursue a starting caliber SF in FA or via trade was due to the team's confidence in Darius Miller. I know that he has not played much in his first two years but I think he does have the tools to be a solid forward in the NBA. He's 6'8 with great range from the outside. He has the potential to be a solid defender as well with his length and intelligence that he was known for at UK.
Thoughts?

Looks like a forced option. Willing to give him a try.

he is terrible

I like some of the energy he can bring in but he hasn't been a very good shooter. At best is a backup.

uh...no

Possible eventually, if he keeps developing. But barring an unpredictable breakout year, no, not this year.
I think we didn't pursue a starting-caliber SF because we knew we were a lot more tied down this offseason compared to the last two, and decided that filling the gap at C was more important. It's a lot easier to get by with a rotating cast at SF than at C, as we saw last year. All we really need from the SF spot is 3&D, and from the later moves we made it's obvious we're just going by committee with that in the hopes of being "good enough" this year there. We can figure out the SF spot next offseason

No. His ceiling is a rotation player.

What we need out of the SF is pretty limited so I won't completely dismiss him, but he hasn't shown enough for anyone to assume he'll step up. Is the potential there? Yes. Is he likely to be the guy we need, the evidence we have so far says no.

Nope. He looked good when playing with the other low-end players at the end of the year. Anytime he has had to play with actual talent on the roster, Darius has looked really lost. I like him but the guy just has no confidence.
I would rather take Fells. (Assuming Darius will be playing off the bench).

If the question is "who is a blackhole of production in the rotation?", he's a great answer.

I think you would be better off with Darius Miles
