NBA Draft prospects with the highest ceilings: 2. Brandon Miller

Miller’s status as an elite prospect relies on a front office’s comfort with his off-the-court issues. His involvement with a firearm used in a murder during his time at Alabama should give teams a lot to research.

On the court, he’s a very clean prospect in terms of his path to success. He is a big wing who can score individually or as part of a team concept. It’s easy to see why every team in the league would be interested in his services given how the league is going.

Miller may never be an elite scorer off the dribble, but he already has an exceptional feel for shooting the ball from a variety of setups behind the three-point line. That ceiling as an elite second scorer for a good team makes him worthy of any selection behind Wembanyama at No. 1.

One underrated aspect of Miller’s game is his defensive acumen. He wasn’t a shutdown defender for the Crimson Tide but he used his length and athleticism to get his hands on plenty of balls. Elite offensive production combined with disruptive abilities on the wing makes Miller an easy projection to earn a max contract in the NBA.
