NBA Sixth Man Award press conference: Play

Despite just nine starts, Miller scored in double figures 54 times.

Coming off the bench in 65 of 74 games this season, Miller averaged 13.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. He recorded double figures in scoring in 54 games, including 16 games of 20 points or more and two games of 30 or more (season-high 41 vs. Denver on March 17).

Miller joined Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki as the only two players in the league to finish in the top 20 in three-point percentage while also averaging better than five rebounds and 2.5 assists. Miller was second on the team in rebounding and tied for third in assists (2.7 apg).

The 6-8 guard posted his first career triple-double and first in Memphis Grizzlies history with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a win over the Sacramento Kings on Jan. 10. He is the third player in the last 10 years to record a triple-double in a game that he did not start (Shawn Bradley, DAL; Magic Johnson, LAL).

A first-round selection by Orlando in the 2000 NBA Draft (fifth overall), Miller was traded by the Magic with Ryan Humphrey, a future first-round draft pick and a future second-round draft pick to the Memphis Grizzlies for Drew Gooden and Gordan Giricek on Feb. 19, 2003.
