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.
