Pistons To Keep Forward Quincy Miller Remainder Of Season

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Forward Quincy Miller will stick with the Detroit Pistons for the remainder of the season and have an opportunity to be part of summer league and then training camp.

Coach Stan Van Gundy said before Wednesday night's game at Golden State that Miller had earned the opportunity to have a long look. Miller signed his second 10-day contract with the Pistons on March 3.

Van Gundy said general manager Jeff Bower is working with Miller's agent to work out a contract that is not fully guaranteed.

While the Pistons have evaluated Miller in only a handful of practices, Van Gundy insists, "he's a guy with size and length and athletic ability and can shoot the ball, so he's somebody who we want to see. It's not a huge investment for us. He's a guy who has great potential to develop."

The 6-foot-9 Miller is averaging 2.8 points and 2.0 rebounds.
