Not if Miller wants to be ball dominant like it sounds

His handles are not that strong.

Agree. Honestly- he looked like a lower Top 100 guy who would be a decent 4 year guy- maybe a second team ALL BT his Jr or Sr year as a 14 ppg mostly spot up shooter and Ok defender.
Has zero chance to make NBA unless he becomes a Kispert, Freddete, Korver, Reddick type shooter.

Has no position really. Does not have PG/Lead guard handles or vision or instincts.
Can't create his own.

Not a wing 3 and D guy as they need to be able to guard 6'7" guys at next level.

AYo stuck in the same in between situation which is why he will probably have issues, but he is taller and longer, faster, and a better athlete than Miller and he might develop NBA 3 range and learn how to guard.

LOL.
T. Jones and Griffin doing pretty good.
Somehow Myke Henry got a cup of coffee in the league.

Of course the sheer volume of transfers will increase those that do OK.
Miller will contribute for someone I am sure.
He is just not a big time player right now, nor will ever likely be.

Griffin got benched at the end of the year and I believe is transferring

.....this time not because he went all Kendrick Nunn on a lady friend

I did see he had a very rough tourney.
Had a decent year numbers wise but I think was really up and down.

Backup at Florida. Former 4 star.
Held out of NCAAs due to pretty viscious flagrant 2 ejection vs Tennessee player.

Athletic. Project. Might be head case.

Clearly indicates they think Kofi and Giorgi gone.
Breal says BBV and Hamlin likely gone.

We need a big otherwise it's Hawkins and he is 4.

Stay tuned I guess.......

A lot better at least offensively players in this portal and we take this guy..😆  Baffling to say the least.  Yet nothing surprises me being an illinment fan.

I am sure they are working on finding scorers. Need 2 of them now.
Only sure thing is Curbelo and Hutch starting is my guess.

I think Jobu Payne is strictly for defense, boards, putbacks right now and hope he develops.
He will start is my guess as part of the deal.

Hopefully Jobu Payne looks at Kofi's improvement and thinks the Illinois staff can help him, if he puts in the work.
