TMann is going to make a leap, I’m fairly certain. DJJ is going to be compelling, and we’ll see what JHarden makes out of playing with him (after his breakthrough season playing with Luka). We all know that ACoffey can more than hold his own, and he’ll struggle to find minutes.

Kobe Brown, and TLue’s willingness to give him a lot of minutes (and what he does with them) is going to be an important element in this equation. Miller’s slim chance at any sort of opportunity other than garbage time is if he can be an impact defender (approaching DJJ and TMann’s level), rebounder (better than Coffey & KBrown), and hit his 3s (if KBrown or DJJ and others fail) at a higher rate. My view is that all of these overlooked and undervalued Clippers are going to play hard and thrive, that Harden, Zu, Kawhi and Batum are going to make everybody better. Thus a perfectly good scenario for Miller is that he gathers up 350-500 minutes over the course of the entire season and he looks extra solid when he gets the chance to join in on the fun.
