Jalen Miller Video

He shot 35% overall and 62% on free throws. Yuck. I watched the video Brian Fonseca cut up from his best game and can't say I was super impressed. Reminded me a bit of Mathis with his drives into the lane and then throwing it up near the rim.
Mathis will probably finish around 35% from 3 for this year (currently shooting 40% from 3 so far this year) and is averaging 12.5PPG and 4 RPG....if Miller is anywhere close to Mathis as a 3 point shooter (33 -35%), he will be a 75-80% FT shooter (much better form and touch as a HS player).
Mathis out of HS, had a completely different shot form and shooting form and had to rebuild his entire shooting motion and form since HS, but that takes tons of work.....Miller has a much better shooting form based on the game film and game on Sunday.
If Miller is at 70 to 80% from the FT line, he should be a double figures scoring guy with 25 or more minutes a game. If Mathis was a better FT shooter while shooting 40% from 3 this year, he'd be over 15PPG vs 12.5.....
Miller also is more of a combo who can spot up and shoot if you have another guard that can handle or command a team's better defenders. Miller isn't an elite player in any one area, but there are very few holes or drastic deficiency to any parts of his overall game. He's a B in almost every category you would want to grade in a HS prospect.

Okay, what evidence is there that Miller can be a 33-35% shooter? He shot 28.5% in this (admittedly very small, but I haven't seen another stats to contradict this) sample. And don't tell me his form, because Mike Williams is proof that form doesn't necessarily translate to results. Or even Geo Baker, who is shooting like 27% since the start of last season.
