The 35-year-old sharpshooter won’t likely play many minutes, but will offer his experience to help teach younger players like Emmanuel Mudiay to improve their shooting, while also providing a great locker-room presence. This is especially important as the team tries to move on after trading Ty Lawson.
Mike Miller has seemed to gravitate toward winning teams in the past several seasons. He won two NBA titles with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013 and also played for the aforementioned Cavaliers, who lost in the NBA Finals last season. The Nuggets definitely hope he can bring a winning mindset to Denver.
