    ok this sucks, i would have liked a different outcome

    but

    it is what it is, im over it

    so

    tell me about ray felton

    havent seen him play much, i heard he is blazing fast? looking at his stats he is clearly a better outside shooter, but seems to struggle from inside the arc...can he get to the hoop? post up? anything???

    any wannabe scouts out there? tell me something good please!

    That really is the only bright spot. I mean he is a better shooter than Miller, but he isn't good at much else. Really him being young is the only good thing I can come up with :/

    He's really, really average ... decent in an uptempo (New York) system, but in a downtempo attack (Larry Brown/Charlotte) looks very "bleh"

    Luckily, we have the fastest-paced game in the league.

    Sure. His name is much easier for Mike Rice.

    He was solid in NY but looks very 'meh' in Charlotte and Denver. He needs a system that's uptempo. Now he's in one of the worst systems for his skillset.

    IMO this move screamed desperation to get something done due to Miller's contract (T.O.) situation.

    Felton being a better shooter is, in my opinion, overblown. Yes, his 3P% is higher (how could it not be?)...but Miller's overall FG% is higher. I guess it's more fair to say Felton has better range. But Felton's still not a good enough three point shooter (33% career) to actually stretch the court. And at some point you need to factor in shot selection.
