Many may know Quincy
Miller as "Miller Time" but start calling him big time. You know the
old saying of “big time players, make big time plays?”
With just about 25
seconds left on the clock, Miller was on the wing and hit the game-winning
three that won the U18 National team their gold medal.
That alone shows you his
maturity as a basketball player. He is willing to step up and make plays when
his team needs it.
Miller is a
highly-touted recruit and after his performance on the U18 National team,
he has to be considered the No. 1 overall prospect in the upcoming recruiting
process.
Miller is a 6-foot-10
forward. He has the ability to play all five positions because of
his athleticism, size and length.
He has great handle with
the ball at 6-foot-10. Not only that, but he can stretch the defense
with his shooting.
If I had to compare
Miller to another player, he would definitely be a Kevin Durant
clone.
He has the ability to
fill up the stats sheet and will have an instant impact wherever he
decides to go.
He has a high basketball
I.Q and is the type of player you can build your program around.
He has good vision and
passing skills for his size. When penetrating the lane, he doesn’t force
things. If he notices the defense is clamping on him, he’ll pass the ball to
the open defender.
This shows you his
ability to create for others and himself.
To go along with his
size, he displays good speed. If you're running in transition, you feel safe
with Miller running behind you.
He finishes strong
around the rim and has the ability to throw down power full dunks, or alley-oops
on defenders.
On defense, he can be a
great weak-side shot blocker.
He comes out of nowhere for the rejection--or he
will simply just swat your driving lay-up or shot.
I've also had the chance to
witness him block a dunk attempt.
He has the ability to
lock down on defenders because of his size. He swats at the ball and gets a lot
of steals because of his length.
In addition, he can
clean the boards. He is always around the rim either cleaning up a miss, or
grabbing a board and looking to push the ball.
A lot of teams are
looking for an all-around talent like Miller and he could end up anywhere.
There is Kentucky, Wake
Forest, Georgetown, Oklahoma, and Duke that has Miller's interest.
It's reported that he
has a strong interest in the University of Kentucky.
However, don't count out
other suitors.
Big time Quincy Miller has become one of the hottest recruits
because of his play this past year.
He will only continue to
improve and give scouts more to drool about.
