Official: Pat Mills called up to Blazers
Great news for Patrick Mills - recalled by the Blazers after two great games in the D-League:
The Portland Trail Blazers recalled guard Patty Mills from the NBA Development League's Idaho Stampede, it was announced today by General Manager Kevin Pritchard.Original article here
In two games since being assigned to the Stampede on Dec. 29, Mills posted averages of 30.0 points (21-37 FG, 11-15 3-PT) and 7.5 assists in 34.0 minutes off the bench.
In his first professional game, Mills led all players with 38 points and 12 assists on Jan. 1. The 6-0 guard's put-back with 1.2 seconds remaining gave the Stampede a one-point win on Jan. 3.
Mills, selected by the Trail Blazers with the 55th overall pick in the second round of the 2009 NBA Draft, will join the Trail Blazers for Monday's game at the L.A. Clippers.
Great to see yet another Australian set to get their chance in the NBA after Jawai and Andersen joined the ranks this year.
