Miller opted to return to Florida State after an up-and-down freshman campaign. He was limited to 15 games with the Seminoles due to an offseason injury and a suspension stemming from a rules infraction committed in 2020.
He was previously highly recruited as a four-star prospect and ultimately chose the Seminoles over Gonzaga. Miller, standing at 6 feet, 11 inches, is highly touted for his versatility, athleticism and ability to defend with his 7-foot-2 wingspan.
Miller previously represented Spain in the 2023 FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup. He averaged 9.4 points, six rebounds and 1.3 assists in seven games, helping Spain win the gold medal.
