Draft Notes

Miller has been one of the fastest rising players in his class and is someone to keep an eye on for the 2023 NBA draft. After declaring in 2022 Miller decided to withdraw his name and join the G League Ignite, which turned out to be a really good move.

Over the past year Miller has transformed his game from being a somewhat wild ball-handling wing to a hard-nosed big forward who rebounds, defends and does all the dirty work. This transformation has been a big success and gives him clear value at the NBA level.

Miller still shows flashes of perimeter skills and a nicely re-worked jumper and fairly good handles for a 6-10 player. Can drive the ball with either hand and is very crafty with the dribble. He’s a lefty but can finish with either hand.

He’s a very long, wiry and mobile 6-10 forward who has good versatility on the defensive end. He’ll have to add some more strength to hold his own in the paint at the next level but that will come with time.
