He really isn't outstanding at either and is way too small to guard a wing in pros.

Miller has always struck me has being that 1 kid growing up that was way ahead of all of his peers athletically...now at 6'2 without PG skills, he is lumped into a large group. I like that he chose the ILLINI and kept the Chicago/Peoria thing going, but in reality he has been surpassed by many ranked below him already.

He does not have an NBA game, he will NEVER be a NBA PG, not trying to disparage the kid, just what I think is the case presently. His mom needs to get a grip if she thinks he will get a NBA paycheck for her.

Sounds like he has some people wanting to be his agent that are not the best advocates??

He will likely have a little bit of a challenging path for an NBA roster spot, but it is certainly very possible. Has to find the right situation.

He’s ready to make some money

There’s unapproved agents that operate under a “pay-it-forward”...they will start paying him right away under the assumption he pays back later once he’s in the league. Bad deal all around, basically like getting a loan based on a job you don’t have. And his NBA stock is not good

I think the staff is trying to get with “approved” agents who will have his best interest in mind. The NIL thing is not going well and that is not helping at all as far as him staying. I had a feeling once he went home the sharks would circle but I think they didn’t expect it to be this bad.

Nice player.

If JJ comes back for UCLA, with Johnson, they will more than likely be Top 10 pre-ranked. Good turn around by Cronin.

CBS has them #1 already.

Not sure why Juzang would stay.
Played himself into 1st round.
Take him over Ayo all day.
He can get his own shot.
Can shoot the three.

Sure. But I assume he wants to play in NBA. They will take him now.

1 assist per game for a 6'1 guard who played 28 minutes per game might be a little concerning.

He is not paid to pass the ball.
Will probably take 8 or 9 threes a game for us. 

I hope he uses a few of these moves at Ann Arbor in front of your bench.
