Though the college basketball season is not yet close to an end, it’s always fun to look ahead and see where the nation’s biggest stars could begin their respective NBA journeys.
For Alabama’s Brandon Miller, it could be with the Orlando Magic at No. 4 overall, according to a recent Sports Illustrated 2023 NBA mock draft by Jeremy Woo.
“Miller is not a powerful finisher and has to develop a bit more physically, placing him somewhere in the vein of a prospect like Brandon Ingram, who took some time to adjust but successfully put all his skills to use over the course of his career. It’s important not to overlook the fact that Miller is old for a freshman, having turned 20 years old in November, placing him in the same age bracket as college sophomores and a number of current young NBA players. But draft positioning tends to hang more on long-term projection than anything else, and as long as Miller continues to pour in buckets over the course of SEC play, he’s likely to hear his name called early.”
Miller is likely to continue impressing fans and NBA scouts alike as the 2022-2023 college basketball season rolls on.
