Player Review: C.J. Miles was whatever the Pacers needed him to be

(Deep Breath...) For the first eight games of the season, C.J. Miles was the backup small forward. Then, he started two games when Paul George was out with ankle soreness. When the four-time All-Star came back, he went back to the bench for two games. George needed more time to heal, so the sharpshooter started against the Suns. He missed the next six games with knee soreness, but once he was healthy he went back to the bench for 23 games. When Nate McMillan finally arrived at the realization that starting Monta Ellis beside Teague wasn’t working after back-to-back losses to the Lakers and Jazz, Miles became the starting two guard.
