If you have the following categories:

awful
liability
serviceable
good
excellent

I think Plaisted has now gone from good to excellent with this year's improvement in his game.

I see Miles somewhere in the liability/serviceable area. He will never get down the court like Plaisted (but P is a little bit of a freak that way). He has it seems slow foot speed. But he does seem to have decent coordination in that he can move his body parts where his brain tells them to go (sometimes missing in big guys). The unknowns for me are basketball IQ, and technique. Just haven't seen enough of him yet. So the question for me is whether he becomes solidly serviceable this year, and is he good next year? I doubt he will ever be excellent.
