Being a team's offseason MVP doesn't mean much, unless it translates into something that does when the real games begin. That's been C.J. Miles' goal throughout the grind of summer workouts on a nearly vacant Bankers Life Fieldhouse practice court.
Miles seems to have turned in the most active off-season of all the Pacers, although George Hill and Shayne Whittington have been close behind and it's impossible to track the movements of the players who were not in Indianapolis. Time will tell. Miles, for one, didn't just work on the fundamental tasks of ballhandling and shooting, he incorporated Pilates and yoga into his training.
