Lakers: 5 Roster Moves To Help Salvage The Season
By Jacob Rude
2. Sign Quincy Miller
This has been covered by many people, including here at Lake Show Life. Miller reportedly recently worked out for the Lakers, but nothing has been made public about the workout or if it even happened, honestly.
We also covered Miller’s fit with the Lakers as well. However, the fit just makes too much sense not to harp on it.
Miller is a prospect that still has potential and needs minutes to find said potential. He was a highly rated prospect out of high school, still highly rated in the NBA Draft, but has never gotten minutes to prove his worth. Being drafted onto a deep Denver Nuggets, Miller was buried in the depth chart.
At 6’9″, he has the size to be an NBA small forward. Even more so, he has a wingspan that reaches 7’1″, one of the big aspects of his potential. Both Johnson and Miller have many of the same physical aspects that leads to great potential.
The team should be done with Johnson and move forward to sign Miller and give him the minutes they’ve dedicated to Johnson.
