Beyond the game

Miller comes from an athletic family — his father played college football at Alabama, and his siblings played college basketball — and became a bona fide star in a single college season, setting an Alabama freshman scoring record. He cites Paul George as his 'GOAT' and models his two-way wing game after him.

His on-court identity is three-level perimeter scoring with size — a 6-foot-7 wing with a consistent three-point stroke (around 37% for his career) and shot creation, paired with defensive potential. His efficiency and durability are the developmental questions, but his scoring, size, and pedigree make him Charlotte's long-term scoring wing alongside Ball.
