I don’t want to get too excited here but I think it’s safe to say he’s a future Hall of Famer, or at the very least a multi-time DPOY.
He also had a +/- of +54 ^((per36))

Jokes aside, garbage time is not the best indicator of the future success, but sometimes you just see something in a player. I remember Wolves getting blown by 30 in the beginning of 20-21 season, and Ryan Saunders playing McDaniels and Vando in garbage time. You saw these dudes look like NBA players - Jaden was hitting 3s and Vando was hustling on boards. After watching Miller in Summer League, a little bit in G-League, and in garbage time now, I can’t imagine him not becoming a serviceable NBA player in 1-2 years. He is already an average rim protector, above average help defender and rebounder, and has a lot of raw offensive skills. If he can be serviceable guarding on perimeter, he can probably play alongside 2 bigs, and this team can be mismatch for anyone.
