[Brandon Miller’s] a 6-9 shot creator who’s proven to be at least a decent shooter—over 37 percent from 3, which I see improving over time. Miller also has a solid second-box and mid-range game. Crafty off the dribble, Miller’s length and quickness combine with a great feel for scoring and a confidence to take big shots. All that is crucial for any high-level scorer who’s not a dominant center: You’ve got to be able to score at all three levels to be dependable come crunch time.
