10 best undrafted NBA players of all time
By Jakob Ashlin
Best undrafted NBA players of all-time: 5. Brad Miller
2x NBA All-Star (2003, 2004)
Miller is one of only three undrafted players in league history to earn multiple NBA All-Star selections, alongside Ben Wallace and Connie Hawkins (more on them later).
In college, he was a standout at Purdue. As a senior, he averaged 17.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 1.2 steals for the Boilermakers. However, he was not selected in the 1998 NBA Draft.
After playing in Italy, he got an NBA opportunity in 1999, signing with the Charlotte Hornets. In two seasons, he played well in limited action. He then signed with the Chicago Bulls in free agency, where he eventually emerged as a starter. In 2001-02, he averaged 12.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals for the Bulls, but he was shipped to the Indiana Pacers at the trade deadline.
With the Pacers, Miller was selected to his first All-Star team in 2002-03; he averaged 13.1 points and 8.3 rebounds. However, he was on the move, once again, during the offseason. He signed with the Sacramento Kings.
In Sacramento, Miller had the best run of his career. He spent six total seasons with the franchise, averaging 13.3 points and 8.6 rebounds.
