Andre Miller proved during his senior year
that his performance in the 1998 NCAA Tournament was not a fluke. He is the most complete
point guard in this draft, though Baron Davis is right there with him.Miller is a floor
leader with few peers. He is a cerebral player who runs the point as well as anyone,
taking care of the basketball, involving teammates, knowing when to run and when to slow
down the pace, and being a good penetrator. His outsid e shooting could still stand some
improvement, but his shooting is passable. He is a great rebounder for a point guard, and
is solid defensively.
Miller has also shown up to play during crunch time. In the 1998 NCAA Tournament,
Miller was instrumental in leading Utah into the national championship game, including
posting the only triple-double of the tournament.
Miller should be one of the first players taken, and one of the first two point guards.
He should have a long and successful career in the NBA.
