Alabama small forward Brandon Miller will forego his remaining eligibility to enter the 2023 NBA Draft, he told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Miller, 20, is 6-foot-9 and was named SEC Player of the Year. He is viewed as the potential No. 2 overall pick, behind only French center Victor Wembanyama. G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson is also considered a possible No. 2 pick.
Miller averaged 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in leading the Crimson Tide to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, but struggled with a groin strain during the postseason. Alabama was eliminated by San Diego State in the Sweet 16.
Wojnarowski referred to Miller as a “dynamic wing player” with “incredible scoring ability,” noting Miller’s 41-point outburst vs. South Carolina in February.
Miller thanked “God, my family, my fans and all the coaches at the University of Alabama,” via Wojnarowski.
