Albeit being a top prospect, questions remain surrounding Miller regarding an incident he was involved in while at school. Miller delivered a hand-gun to former teammate Darius Miles that was used in the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harris. Miller was ultimately not charged in the incident, but the story will follow him for the rest of his career.

The good news for Miller is that reports are surfacing that his character is of no concern to teams that are considering drafting him. This is a big step in the right direction for Miller in distancing himself from the tragic controversy.

In terms of on the basketball court, Brandon Miller averaged 18.8 points for the Crimson Tide this season, appearing in and starting 37 games. He would certainly be an asset for a Bulls team that is lacking in scoring from the forward position, but him ending up in Chicago looks unlikely. Expect Miller to go in the top 10 in the upcoming 2023 NBA Draft to a team that already owns such a selection.
