Overview
Jordan Miller began his collegiate career as a three-year starter at George Mason. The college was less than an hour away from where Miller — an unheralded high school recruit — grew up in Middleburg, Virginia. He then transferred to Miami for the 2021-22 season. Miller became an instant contributor, averaging 32.9 minutes per game across 73 contests during his Miami tenure. In the 2023 NCAA Tournament, Miller had an all-time collegiate performance in the Elite 8 against Texas, finishing with 27 points, fueled by hitting all 13 of his free-throw attempts.
Analysis
Miller is a reliable, two-way wing. He’s incrementally demonstrated growth in his game through his on-ball decision-making. After averaging 1.1 assists and a 1.29 AST/TO ratio in 2021-22, Miller climbed to 2.7 assists per game and a 2.03 AST/TO ratio in 2022-23. Additionally, he jumped from 1.9 to 3.4 free-throw attempts per game in his fifth and final season. Miller concluded his campaign with averages of 15.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals/blocks per game while shooting 54.5% from the field and 78.4% from the free-throw line.
Projection
Miller profiles as a connective piece with a limited ceiling, but his do-it-all style as a small forward is a universal roster need. His knack for winning plays as a rebounder, clutch scorer and good wing defender forms a valuable foundation. Miller hit 35.2% of 2.5 3-point attempts per game this season, but he had never exceeded 33.3% in any campaign prior. Miller possesses a skinny frame, so bulking up, polishing his shot, or both, will be critical to carving out future roles.
