C.J. Miles is a lot like a potato. The spud ain’t much in the way of a main course, but it’s versatile enough to be one hell of a side dish. Whether baked, mashed, fried, hashed or made into soup, when was the last time someone complained about potatoes ruining a meal? Right, never, because they don’t. Hence, the reason it was so fitting when Miles received a potato from a congratulatory fan.
Miles’ box score rarely stood out this season — he scored 20 or more points just six times. But he remained a vital player for the Indiana Pacers because his skill set was so desperately needed.
