In dealing with this last minute “promotion” at the guard spot, the Aussie sharpshooter experienced his fair share of ups and downs.
Mills began his 13th season as a pro with a brilliant 21-point outing where he shot 7-of-7 from beyond the arc. He ended it though with a less memorable five-point performance, as the Boston Celtics swept him and his teammates out of the playoffs.
