Euroleague Plus Minus: Codi Miller-McIntyre - SE25/26

Welcome back to the EuroLeague PlusMinus Series 2025/2026. This time we’re going into Codi Miller-McIntyre’s all-around impact in Belgrade, and why Crvena Zvezda’s rise to the top of the ranks has his fingerprints all over it. If you enjoy these breakdowns, make sure to subscribe ❤️

CMM has always had one of the coolest names in the league, but this season he’s added something more important: undisputed star impact. After what felt like a full-year adjustment period in 2024/25, he’s exploded into 2025/26 as the on-court leader of a well-oiled Zvezda team.

🔍 How to Read the Charts

The bubble grids show one row per Zvezda player and one column per opponent. Bigger bubble = more production in that game (assists, points, or plus/minus).

On the plus/minus grid, green means the team won his minutes, red means they were outscored.

The Assist Factory

Start with the assist grid: CMM’s row is a highway of blue bubbles.

• He has solid assist returns in basically every game, with one monster double-digit night that dwarfs anything from his teammates.
• No one else on the roster comes close to that combination of volume and consistency — others have flashes, he has a pattern.

That matches the numbers: he leads Zvezda in assists and sits 3rd in the league in average dimes. For a team built around multiple scorers and big bodies who love to roll, having a guard who constantly creates easy looks is priceless.

Btw, Codi recently marked a milestone of 500 assists in the Euroleague.

Scoring Without Taking the Ball Hostage

The points grid shows another side of the story: CMM isn’t just spoon-feeding. He’s had several games in the 15–20+ points range, especially when injuries forced him to become the emergency scorer.

That’s where the Scoring Confidence Index comes in. His curve is shaped by a lot of three-point attempts:

• When the threes fall, his confidence spikes and he climbs with the elite guards.
• When the outside shot cools, the line dips — you can almost see the “heat-check tax” in real time.

Now that Zvezda are getting key teammates back, the next evolution for Codi is clear: lean even harder into playmaking. He’s proven he can carry the scoring load, but this roster is scarier when he’s the one deciding who gets to eat each night rather than trying to do it all himself.

PlusMinus: When Codi Wins the Minutes, Zvezda Wins the Night

The plus/minus grid might be the cleanest argument for his value.

• Most of his bubbles are healthy greens, often among the biggest on the board — when he’s rolling, Zvezda tends to run away with those stretches.
• There’s a single deep red crater that jumps off the chart: one game where everything collapsed around him. The fact that it stands out so much tells you how rare those nights are.

Put simply: the scoreboard usually tilts Zvezda’s way when CMM is on the court. That’s what separates a good stat line from real star impact.

Codi Miller-McIntyre has gone from “interesting signing who needs time” to “one of the most important performers in the EuroLeague.” He’s driving Zvezda’s offense, propping them up through injuries, and sitting among the league leaders in assists — all while taking on heavy scoring duty.

If he now shifts a bit of that usage back into pure playmaking, with more selective three-point aggression, we might be looking at the guard who quietly powers a deep playoff run from Belgrade.
