Baba Miller continues to amaze at the Combine and could sneak into the first round of the Draft

Baba Miller was clear that the Chicago Combine was his big opportunity and he is making the most of it. At 22, both the physical measurements and technical tests have exceeded all expectations, showing the NBA that he could have a place in the first round of the Draft.

A path as peculiar as it is difficult to interpret for many. Baba Miller has been in the NCAA for years, changed universities, and was willing to step out of the spotlight to gain confidence at a smaller college like Cincinnati. There, he did more than enough to catch the eye, positioning himself as a potential second-round pick. However, he landed at the Chicago Draft Combine determined to prove that he can aim for much more, and indeed he is doing just that.

Baba Miller is compared to Jalen Johnson

His projection is influenced by being seen as a mature player at 22, with potentially less room for improvement than others. However, his performance at the Chicago Draft Combine seems to be convincing many front offices that he could be an immediate impact rotation player. Many see him as a new Jalen Johnson, capable of many skills on the court playing from the power forward position. Slipping to the second round would carry the risk of being relegated to the G-League or returning to Europe, but all signs indicate that he will rise in Mock Drafts, with some already considering him a first-round talent.
