Meet Creighton’s Mason Miller, the son of a 2-time NBA championship winner

If Creighton’s Mason Miller seems familiar, it’s because you remember his dad’s NBA days.

If you watched the Creighton men’s basketball team defeat Akron in the first round of the 2024 NCAA tournament, you got to watch the son of an NBA legend in action.

Mason Miller, a sophomore forward for Creighton, is the son of former NBA player Mike Miller, a 17-year retired veteran who won two NBA titles with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013.

The elder Miller played college ball at Florida before being drafted by the Orlando Magic in 2000. He coached Houston High School in Germantown, Tennessee, to a TSAA Class AAA state title in his only season as a coach, where Mason Miller played for his dad before joining Creighton.

Now, the younger Miller will keep playing on in the 2024 men’s NCAA tournament with Creighton, where he scored 10 points for the Bluejays in that team’s opening-round victory.

*This post previously stated that Mike Miller was still the coach of Houston High. He left after the 2020-21 season.

Fantasy Baseball Waivers: Pilfering the Pirates, Tigers and Athletics for versatile adds

The Tigers, Pirates and A’s might not seem like the most obvious rosters to search for fantasy help, but the stats don’t lie

If a guy can play in the outfield, middle infield and tackle either first or third base on a rare day, it’s impossible to pass up that potential. As we get further into the season, these types of super utility guys don’t stay available for long on the waiver wires.

This week we’ll dive into a few key pick-ups you should target as some hot starts to the year begin looking more and more sustainable.

We’ve also got two starting pitching options worth adding immediately. Here are five waiver adds to target right now.
