Jordan Miller’s parents, Donna and Jeffery Miller Jr, raised him with three older brothers in Virginia. Jordan is the only one in his family to follow the athletic route in his career.
The 26-year-old submitted his name to the NBA Draft in April 2023, hoping an NBA team is out there to get him. His college records show he deserves a spot.
Standing at 6ft 4, Miller played three seasons with George Mason before transferring to the University of Miami. And the transfer helped him become even better, polishing his shooting skills by 10 percent.
Recently, Sports Illustrated alluded Jordan to the likes of Naji Marshall, Bruce Brown, and Dyson Daniels. They have also predicted he will be a second-round pick in the upcoming draft.
