The 6 feet 9 inches tall basketball prodigy grew up in an athletic background with his family members involved in sports in one way or another.
With the 2023 NBA draft set to take place on June 22 at Barclays Center, Miller is projected to be the top-3 pick alongside generational talent Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson.
