Brandon Miller to Go Ahead of Scoot Henderson at the 2023 NBA Draft Despite Darius Miles Capital Murder Controversy

Brandon Miller is a hyped-up upcoming NBA draft prospect who is expected to be one of the top picks for the 2023 NBA draft. Despite the recent controversy surrounding him, Miller is still expected to go ahead of Scoot Henderson this year As we all know, the NBA draft is a process by which 60 players enter the league through 2 rounds. The best players are usually picked first by lottery teams, which are teams with the worst record.

Some felt that Brandon’s professional career in the NBA might be at stake after his association with the Darius Miles capital murder case. However, that doesn’t appear to be true based on the latest draft projections. Let us take a closer look at Miller’s involvement and understand why it hasn’t impacted his potential standings.

Brandon Miller is projected as the 3rd pick in the 2023 NBA Draft 

Brandon’s involvement in the Darius Miles case was undoubtedly a cause for concern. Some of us might have already heard what happened. Miller and Miles were former teammates during their time together at Alabama Crimson Tide. Both of them also became quite close friends. However, things took a significant turn after we found out that Miller was responsible for providing Miles with the gun used in a fatal shootout.

Although Brandon claimed that he had no idea what Darius was going to do, he still knew that Darius had a gun in the car when he asked Brandon to come and pick him up. Therefore, a few people felt that he should share some responsibility and accountability for what happened.

Some fans felt this could compromise his NBA career. However, the latest draft projections seem to indicate that his association with this crime has not impacted his standings. At the moment, he is expected to be picked 3rd in the 2023 NBA Draft, potentially by the San Antonio Spurs. The two athletes expected to be selected before him are Victor Wembanyama and Amen Thompson.

That would mean he is likely to be selected ahead of Scoot Henderson, one of the best point guards of this draft class. Perhaps Scoot shouldn’t feel offended over all of this, after all, the NBA is evolving and big men with the skillset of a guard are in high demand. Since Brandon Miller is just that at 6’9 and 200lbs, he is expected to be a top draft pick for this year.
