I've always been a big fan of Miller.  A deadly weapon from behind the arc, always has filled up the boxscore well in his career.  This season has been a very strange one for him.  But the last month has been downright bizarre, averaging just 5.7 points on 36% shooting and has only made 6 three pointers.  He is coming off an injury but we're not talking torn ACL here.  Supposedly he isn't real happy in Minnesota, but even still, what gives?

He's shooting the 3pt shot and free-throws very badly and he's taking way less shots than ever in his career. 7 shots in 30 minutes is a very low usage for a player like Miller. He's doing lots of other things though, even playing point-forward here and there for them. He doesn't seem unhappy in Minnesota. Isn't he a local or close to it?

It looks like he's just not taking shots.  It's kind of backwards when I check the boxscore and Telfair and everyone else have taken far more shots than Miller.  I think Miller is a pretty good player, I don't know why he's being so passive.
