Former Philadelphia 76ers guard Andre Miller was always a calm and steady presence on the floor for the team during his time in the City of Brotherly Love. He had ginormous shoes to fill after being acquired from the Denver Nuggets for Allen Iverson, but he did so admirably.
In 221 games for the Sixers, Miller averaged 15.9 points, 6.9 assists and 4.3 rebounds while playing at his own pace. He guided Philadelphia to surprising playoff appearances in 2008 and 2009, although the Sixers fell in six games in the first round both times in a similar fashion with the team up 2-1 before falling.
On Wednesday, Miller will rejoin the Nuggets to become the coach of the team’s G League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold. He spent six seasons playing for Denver in his career.
The Denver Nuggets are finalizing a deal to hire Andre Miller as the new coach of the G League Grand Rapids Gold, sources tell ESPN. Miller played six seasons for Denver during his NBA playing career.

Miller looks to bring his steady presence to the bench and help young players make their next step in the NBA.
