Ever since Domantas Sabonis was traded from the Indiana Pacers to the Sacramento Kings, he's been warmly welcomed in the new place he now calls home. Now, former Kings center and one of the most beloved members of the community, Brad Miller, gave praise to the Lithuanian after tonight's match.

"I watched his dad growing up, so I watched him at Gonzaga. When you sit there and look like, alright, he's not trying to get 40 every night, he wants to get everyone involved, he wants to pass, and it reminds me of me. Well, clearly I like his game," Miller said post-game.

After getting suspended due to being thrown out of the game against the New York Knicks, Sabonis missed one more match before last night due to personal reasons. The personal reasons are on the happy side this time - Domantas is now a father.

Matt Barnes, who is one of the hosts in the post-match show for Kings fans, elaborated on both Miller's and Sabonis games a bit more.

"With him being one of the best passing bigs in the game, you, Vlade, all of you guys used to be passers, and the guards once they understood how to play with a passing big it made everyone's job so much easier," Barnes said.

"You weren't going out again looking for 40, you took your shots when they came, but you made everyone else's job a lot easier because you were such a great passing big," Barnes finished his statement.

Miller was quick to take the note the former King gave him and ran with it.

"Everyone could call Kevin Martin right now and ask him how much he enjoyed playing with me, I might have gotten him a few contracts," Brad Miller joked on air. "You cut back door, I'm trying to pass you the ball, it's the same thing."
