Prospect Profile
After playing five seasons at the college level, Miller will look to make the jump to the NBA. Leading up to this point, he spent three seasons at George Mason followed by two at Miami. He earned an All-ACC Team nod last season in what was his best college campaign that concluded with a deep push in the NCAA Tournament.
As a prospect, Miller’s position is interesting. He’s 6-foot-7 and played quite a bit of guard at Miami, but might be better served as a wing in the NBA. He’s much better off-ball given he’s not a great self-creator, but can absolutely produce points in a secondary role. The swingman is highly effective inside the arc, converting on 62% of his 2-point attempts the past two seasons. He’s a really good slasher that can finish in traffic, through contact, and utilizes his size.
He saw a year-over-year increase in his role, making the most of it and rising to the occasion. Miller showed that he has the vision, feel, and IQ to set other teammates up as a tertiary playmaker. The swing skill is his jumper. It’s encouraging that he improved from deep last season, but it was on fairly low volume and he tends to pass up open looks from time to time.
Miller is a solid rebounder that has no problem leading the break. Those are traits that should translate well in the NBA as teams look to play fast and push in transition. He’s also an underrated passer, producing nearly three assists per game and notching five contests with at least five assists last season.
Defensively, Miller brings a lot to the table. He’s extremely versatile and can legitimately hold his own against four positions. Outside of centers, he’s proven that he is effective guarding both on the perimeter and in the paint against all other positions. He’s also great within a scheme and is a good team defender. Miller consistently makes the right rotations, in the help when needed, and it’s evident he pays attention to the scouting report on the opposing team.
A late riser due to his performance in the postseason, it’s no guarantee that Miller gets drafted. However, he’s showcased his versatility and seamless fit at the next level well enough to at least get consideration in the pre-draft process.
