About this time last year, we were all asking ourselves if Miles McBride was an NBA guy.
McBride was struggling to show why he belonged in the league across his first two years in the NBA. Touted as a strong defender and shooter, the former early-2nd-round pick had generally underwhelmed at the highest level of the game. Yes, his defensive energy provided a spark off the bench, but he was averaging 3.0 points on a disgusting 33% from the field through 104 appearances. McBride was supposed to be a capable shooter; instead, he was shooting a measly 28.
