Baba Miller

Draft Notes

Miller came over from Spain were he came up with Real Madrid. He’s a big upside player and possible one and done first round pick.

Miller had a big growth spurt, going from 6-2 to 6-11 while retaining his guard skills. He’s got a really good handle for a player his size and shows advanced passing instincts.

Has a great understanding off the game, makes good reads and quick decisions with the ball. Moves well off the ball and shows good overall awareness and instincts for the game.

Can rip and run and take it coast to coast. Decent rebounder.

Has a lot of potential as a multi-position defender. Has enough speed to guard 3’s and the size to guard in the lane.

Isn’t much of an outside shooter at this point but shows promise and will likely be able to stretch the floor and some point early in his NBA career.

Areas to improve include: getting stronger, developing his outside shot and taking better care of the basketball.
