2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Quincy Miller


Position: Small Forward

Size: 6-9, 210

School: Baylor, Freshman


Strengths:

Athleticism

Length

Mid-range game

Three-point range

Pull-up jumper

Ability to post up smaller defenders

Handles the ball well for his size

Can create his own shot

Soft touch around the rim

Body control in the lane



Weaknesses:

Strength, physicality

Handling contact

Too often settles for jump shot

Doesn’t get much elevation on his jumper

Assertiveness on the drive

Aggressiveness as a rebounder

Defensive effort could improve

Summary: Miller is a terrific talent who can score the basketball in a number of ways, but surprised many by leaving Waco after his freshman season. He has lottery potential, but his thin frame will be a problem as he transitions to the next level which is why he could fall into the 20s. Had he returned to Baylor for his sophomore season, Miller could have really helped his stock and possibly emerged a surefire top-10 pick.

Player Comparison: Nicloas Batum. Both Batum and Miller rely on their length and athleticism since they lack a great deal of size and strength. Miller is more of a natural scorer, but both players can stretch defenses with their outside shots.
