Mike Miller undergoes surgery

Miami Heat forward Mike Miller has undergone surgery on a raptured tendon on his left thumb. Miller injured himself late in the regular season, he also had the same injury problems during preseason.

Maybe Mike Miller healthy next season might help LeBum win a championship next year...

Good draft overall, thats if your not comparing it to last years draft because its kind of difficult to compare this draft with the likes of John Wall, Demarcus cousins, Evan turner and Wesley Johnson. Saying that, theres still players at there level in this draft Kyrie Erving being one of them. Cavaliers snapped him up 1st pick which to me is the best thing they could of done, considering they probably have one of the weakest teams talent wise. Also alot of foreign players entering the draft (which is good news to me as im not American)
 
Australia:1
Hungary:1
Latvia:1
Czech Republic:1
Montenegro:1
Congo:2
Lithuania:2
Croatia:2
Nigeria:1

On another note British baller Matthew Bryan-Amaning did not get drafted, dissapointing to hear but hopefully he'll make it pro in Europe and make his way into the NBA (if thats what he wants to do) sometime in the future.

Whats your view of the draft?
