BREAKING NEWS: Alabama basketball standout Brandon Miller is ready to begin the next chapter of his career on the hardwood, as the 20-year-old was drafted number two overall in the 2023 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets.
Miller, the son of former Alabama tight end Darrell Miller, joined the Crimson Tide program as a five-star recruit out of Cane Ridge High School in Antioch, Tennessee, where he was a back-to-back Tennessee Gatorade Player of the Year during his junior and senior years and was named Tennessee Mr. Basketball during his senior year. He chose Alabama over considered offers from Kansas and Tennessee State, as well as options to play professionally in Australia’s NBL or the G League Ignite.
Alongside the multiple SEC Freshman Player of the Week and SEC Player of the Week honors throughout the season, Miller helped the Crimson Tide earn a #1 national ranking for the second and third times in program history, SEC regular season and tournament championships, and Alabama’s first ever #1 seed and #1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Among Miller’s award accolades was being the first player ever to earn SEC Player of the Year, SEC Freshman of the Year, and SEC Tournament MVP, and he was also named First-Team All-SEC, Consensus Second-Team All-American, and was awarded the 2023 Wayman Tisdale and NABC Freshman of the Year Awards as the nation’s most outstanding freshman basketball player.
