SMB considering Quincy Miller as Commissioner's Cup import

Quincy Miller has the possibility of playing in the PBA once again as he is considered by the San Miguel Beermen to be their import in the upcoming Season 49 Commissioner's Cup.

Miller is currently playing for SMB as one of the two reinforcements in the East Asia Super League (EASL) Home and Away Season 2.

San Miguel deputy Peter Martin said that they are considering bringing in the 31-year-old in the mid-season conference to help them defend their title but there's no assurance yet.

"Maybe, maybe not," said Martin of Miller's status.

In their EASL loss to Taoyuan Pilots last Wednesday, November 13, at the Philsports Arena, Miller showed brilliance by delivering 32 points on 3-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc.

The numbers he provided were far from the first time he suited up for the Beermen when they lost against Suwon KT Sonicboom in the opener of the regional tournament a month ago.

Miller only chipped-in eight markers on 2-of-12 shooting from the field during the loss.

And his redeeming performance last Wednesday caught the attention of the San Miguel coaching staff.

The Baylor University product previously suited for Converge in the 2022 Commissioner's Cup and TNT in 2023.

Miller might have the edge of being chosen as he is already playing with the Beermen in the EASL but there's no guarantee yet as the ball club is continuously searching for the right import that fits them specially that the conference is now featuring reinforcements of unlimited height.

“Yung search namin hindi nahihinto. We’re not stopping from looking at others (prospects),” said Martin.

SMB is also thinking of bringing back their last year's reinforcement Bennie Boatwright once he fully gets healed from his Achilles surgery.

Boatwright led the Beermen to the Promised Land last year while averaging 30.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in the 13 games that he played.
