If he does go to Kentucky, his minutes will be limited.Miller is back most likely.

AlwaysThey may but they are still recruiting over him.
I don’t disagree with you but the Usage% statistic attempts to account for some of that difference.I think Nunn and Miller’s respective teams were nothing alike. We needed Nunn to be more offensively inclined. We didn’t need that from Miller though it would have been welcomed. IMO, The defense from Miller was pretty solid.
Did K. Nunn get a starting spot alongside an All-American PG? Either way, no matter. I wasn't trying to start an irrelevant argument.....That's a fair question. Another fair question is whether KNunn looked like a 13.5 pts/g NBA player after his freshman year. Players can develop a lot at the college level.
Has to at least indicate Miller to UK isn’t yet a done deal, right?
I'd suggest not reading from the beginning then.I haven't read all 30 pages of the Adam Miller transfer thread, but I sincerely hope the majority of the posts are positive and encouraging to the young man. We can all be classy about these kinds of situations
Grass ain't always greener.That's a smart call. Kentucky brings in Jaden Hardy and/or another elite guard, and where does that leave Miller? Scraps and /or the bench.
I think the issue for the more informed that still want to see Adam achieve his goals is that Cal will relegate him to a role player there as well. He won't be assuming the role of primary handler/scorer. I'm pretty sure Hickman will handle that role. Adam will be a floor spacer and perimeter defender i.e 3 and D. It will be like groundhog day of his freshmen year.Wouldn't have an effect. Kentucky needs to bring in 7 or 8 new guys and of high ranked HS'ers, they are only in on Jaden Hardy. There's a reason they too offered Podz.
People thinking Miller won't start at Kentucky and get 30 minutes a game are either delusional or haven't looked at Kentucky's projected roster
Blue grass ain't green at all.......................Grass ain't always greener.
NBA scouts didn't think Nunn was destined to be a 13.5 ppg NBA player after his (redshirt) senior year or he wouldn't have gone undraftedDo you think AM is destined to be a 13.5 pts/game NBA player? I sure don't.
I’m going to repost this link from the other day - all Illini freshman guard seasons since 2009 (when they started tracking ‘advanced’ stats)

Adam Miller is rated as the 2nd best defender, but struggled in the Offense metrics. He had essentially the same Usage rate as Kendrick Nunn but Nunn had much better offensive numbers.
I don’t have a dog in the fight, just trying to give some stats context to the discussion.
Me tooI hope AM returns to the Orange and Blue.
Me too
Go Illini

We do realize that only 60 players a season get drafted, right?NBA scouts didn't think Nunn was destined to be a 13.5 ppg NBA player after his (redshirt) senior year or he wouldn't have gone undrafted
With the influx of foreign talent into the league, that number is significantly lower now for domestic players. May be as low as 40-45 depending on the year.We do realize that only 60 players a season get drafted, right?

Right. And how many of those 60 actually make a team? And out of that group, how many actually stick? Making The League is very, very difficult.We do realize that only 60 players a season get drafted, right?
Crazy that this board has used the NBA as the benchmark of whether or not a player is any good or not. There are so many other tools available but "he's an NBA 1st rounder" seems to be the choice. BIG only had 4 players drafted last year.
How is this relevant? I was responding to someone saying they can't see Adam Miller in the NBA and contrasting that with Nunn after their freshman years, which is ridiculous since Nunn wasn't a clear NBA player after his senior year.We do realize that only 60 players a season get drafted, right?
I’ve only loosely followed this thread but my impression is that the NBA benchmark is being used to demonstrate a player’s improvement over time, or an underutilization of his talent in college. I’m not sure it’s a baseline for being “good”.Crazy that this board has used the NBA as the benchmark of whether or not a player is any good or not.
