Leonard Miller

A native of Scarborough, Ontario, Leonard Miller spent 2022-23 with the G league Ignite, choosing the Ignite over Kentucky, Gonzaga and others. Miller averaged 18.0 points and 11.0 rebounds across 24 games with the Ignite, playing alongside top guard prospect Scoot Henderson. Miller quickly rose through the ranks as a high schooler at Fort Erie International Academy in Ontario, hitting a growth spurt and ascending from approximately 6-foot-5 to 6-foot-10. His older brother and fellow 2023 draft prospect, Emmanuel, plays for TCU. Miller's blend of speed and size is impressive. He loves shooting, but his most translatable strength is getting to the rim or being a threat around the basket. He compiled 17 double-doubles in the G League while showcasing ambidexterity. Miller shot 29.7 percent from beyond the arc this season while logging possessions as a primary ballhandler and perimeter threat. Miller has a malleable game. He flashes skills as a developing shooter, rim protector, physical mismatch, tempo pusher, and occasional playmaker. Even if only a few of those skills reach NBA-starter level, he has the upside of a top-20 pick. He isn't expected to be tasked with a prominent role as a rookie.
