Summary
Looking at Quincy Miller, you have to imagine what he'll be like when he's fully recovered from a knee injury he suffered in High School. What he does well, particularly getting to the rim, will be even better and what he struggled with, like lateral quickness and taking a lot of jumpers, will be much improved when he has all his athleticism back and completely trusts his knee. Obviously, there's some risk here because of the potential that the knee just never gets back but given how much it's already improved (Miller has looked even better in workouts) it's not as much of a risk as you might think.
