With the 2023 NBA Draft happening later this month, every team in the NBA, including the Brooklyn Nets, will have to think about what they will do with their draft picks come June 22. One of the picks that Brooklyn has in the draft is the 22nd overall pick and Bleacher Report projects them to take G League Ignite forward Leonard Miller with the pick.
Miller, 19, averaged 18.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 55.4% from the field and 32.7% from three-point land in 24 games player for the Ignite. Miller, standing at 6’10” and 210 pounds, appears to profile as a forward who can score on the inside and has the physical tools to be a force on the defensive side of the floor.
However, Miller has to improve his perimeter shooting as his mechanics still look a bit raw at this point in time. Until Miller gains some muscle and fills out his frame, he may get playing time as a wing who could make an impact thanks to his athleticism.
Here’s a video breakdown of Miller by Adam Spinella to see where Miller excels on the court and where he struggles:
