The Spurs signed wing Emanuel Miller to a two-way contract, the team announced. Stanley Umude was waived to make room for the new signee.<\/p>\n
Miller, 25, is a 6\u20195 wing who went undrafted after attending Texas A&M and Texas Christian University, but has spent time with the Bulls and Cavaliers on two-way deals before landing in San Antonio. Known as a tough defender and athletic finisher, he\u2019s excelled in the G League, averaging 17 points, five rebounds, and two assists during the Tip-Off Tournament and 18 points, seven rebounds, and two assists in 15 regular-season games. His three-point shot is a work in progress, but he\u2019s shown flashes of competence as a floor-spacer both in college and as a pro.<\/p>\n
Umude, a San Antonio native, was signed in late December and played two games with the big team. He spent most of his time in Austin with the G League affiliate and posted impressive numbers. The front office is now moving on to Miller, who is a similar prospect in terms of strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n
Minutes are scarce with the big team, so it\u2019s unlikely the new addition will get more run than Umude got in San Antonio, but he\u2019s a productive and talented player who seems deserving of a closer look.<\/p>\n
The Spurs now have David Jones-Garcia, Harrison Ingram, and Miller on two-way contracts. Jones-Garcia underwent ankle surgery and is out for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Spurs signed wing Emanuel Miller to a two-way contract, the team announced.
