I've been very impressed with Miller overall this year. He is far more athletic than I expected and has a solid overall post game, still he may be to small for the 4 in the nba. I think he could stick around the league as a back end of the bench contributor but curious to see what others think.

His athleticism and touch helps but at his size he'd need to show an ability to go to the hoop from the perimeter but I've never seen him take more than two dribbles.

Somewhere, for sure. Before the season I thought he had a small chance to sneak onto the NBA's radar, but he's a couple inches too small.

He's definitely a professional basketball player. The question is obviously can he make it in the NBA. I don't know, I don't know if he's big enough. I think he'll earn a summer league opportunity, though.

Doesn't have the consistent outside shot for his size. He'd be undersized in the NBA. Love him but no.

He does have a pretty good handle and I have seen him drive to the basket and score. Though I think he will have to improve his outside shot to make it. He definitely has the hops to be in the next league.

Maybe in Europe
I agree. If he wants to play pro-hoops, Europe will be an option, He's just not big and athletic enough for the NBA. If we was a tad more explosive and shot it more from deep effectively, he could find a role in the NBA, but based on the skill set, level of athleticism and size, he's just one of many players with those attributes that just aren't good enough.

I really like SM, and wish him success in whatever he does. He's obviously a very smart young man who's going to do well in whatever he does in life. It will be interesting to see if he pursues a pro career. Does anyone know what he's studying? Just curious.

Huh not explosive? Did you see his dunk and his block today. The kid has great hops and can get to the hoop. He very explosive but the problem he has a very limited outside game to play the 3 in the pros. I guess this is the same guy who said Stanley Robinson wasn't a Big East athlete. LOL!

He'll play professionally but the chances of him making an NBA roster aren't very good.

If he grows 3 inches in the next 4 months

I think he'll play overseas or go into coaching.

Disagree on the athleticism part, he's definitely an NBA athlete. To make the league he would need to develop a better perimeter game and or become a defensive specialist. He has a chance but needs to grow his game, he can make a lot of money playing overseas.

If he can get a better handle, a jumper, and a three point shot I think he can be

Did Ed Nelson play overseas? He was the best UConn hip-hop hoops player. Why is this not pinned? This is so awful.


Can't believe that guy was Rookie of the Year in the ACC. Shows you how good that conference was ;)

The athletic part you are off on. When his elbow is above the rim some might consider that athletic enough for the NBA. No?

It makes the Super Bowl Shuffle sound like a masterpiece.

He's athletic and versatile enough to warrant some consideration as an undersized power forward...but I suspect he's just too light and he doesn't have any place to put another 20 pounds of muscle.

He's more skilled than Jeff Adrien, but Jeff was a legit 245.
