The 2023 NBA draft lottery is officially over, as it confirmed the Oklahoma City Thunder will pick No. 12 in the first round of the draft.
It’s also draft combine week, which means all of the top prospects are gathered in Chicago, Ill. This means that most players will likely be asked who they’ve worked out and met with so far.
One of the many players they plan on meeting with is G League Ignite forward Leonard Miller, who’s quickly risen among most draft boards. BSO’s Daniel Bell said he plans on meeting with the Thunder for a workout in the near future.
In 24 regular-season games with the G League Ignite, Miller averaged 18 points on 55.6% shooting, 11 rebounds and 1.6 assists. He also shot 32.7% from 3 on 2.2 attempts.
In 14 Showcase Cup games with the G League Ignite, Miller averaged 15.1 points on 50% shooting, 8.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists. He also shot 27.5% from 3 on 2.9 attempts.
With how quickly Miller’s stock is rising, the 19-year-old is a legitimate candidate for the Thunder to take the No. 12 spots. At this point, there’s a legit shot he goes higher than that.
The 2023 NBA draft is scheduled to happen on Thursday, June 22. A full list of prospects who’ve met with the Thunder can be read here.
