A month or two ago the naysayers on this forum were doubting Shonn Miller. They said he had not played against good competition, that he wouldn't get minutes because there was so much talent at UCONN, and that he would not score much as UCONN has other options and Cornell didn't. People even doubted KO when he stated that the offense would flow through Miller.
I've been watching Shonn for three years and have consistently seen the talent that you saw tonight. Following his freshman year he and Terry Rozier (formerly of Louisville and now playing for the Celtics) absolutely tore up the Cleveland pro-am league. Despite the fact that Cornell's Coach Courtney did not know how to use him (Shonn often roamed the perimeter and jacking up ill-advised 3s) and other teams attempted to beat him up and double and triple teamed him, Shonn still scored almost 17ppg and shined against against elite teams (Syracuse, Duke, Arizona State, Wisconsin etc). Against high level D1 competition he averaged over 14ppg.
Maine is not Kentucky or Duke but I expect that Shonn will hold his own against any competition. He's a beast and you haven't seen him start at the foul line and take an opponent off the dribble. It's poetry in motion.
Responding to the naysayers I said in my last post that I would enjoy saying "I told you so" at the end of the season. I fully expect to be posting that in a few months.
