Duke Miles

Duke Miles is an Exhibit 10 defensive guard whose best 2026-27 path is a productive Delaware season; the NBA projection is conditional on surviving camp or receiving a later call-up.

Research cutoff: July 18, 2026. Team: Philadelphia 76ers. Status: Exhibit 10 camp guard, not a guaranteed opening-night standard player.

2026-27 conditional NBA projection

GP MPG FG% (FGM/FGA) FT% (FTM/FTA) 3PM PTS REB AST STL BLK TO
12 7.0 .410 (0.8/2.0) .750 (0.3/0.4) 0.3 2.2 0.5 0.7 0.3 0.0 0.4

This is a conditional call-up line. If Miles is waived after camp and never receives an NBA deal, his correct Philadelphia result is 0 games, not 12.

Health and uncertainty

No current injury restriction was found. Contract uncertainty overwhelms statistical uncertainty. Miles should not be counted in the 14-standard-plus-two-two-way working roster or the healthy 240 unless his status changes.

Exhibit 10 status High Vanderbilt and current ledger agree

Career record

Pre-NBA: Six-year, four-school college career (born February 3, 2002). Troy 2020-23: 49 games, 9.2 PTS, 3.1 AST, 1.8 STL. High Point 2023-24: 33 games, 17.5 PTS, 3.6 AST, 1.3 STL — Big South Newcomer of the Year and first-team All-Big South. Oklahoma 2024-25: 34 starts, 9.4 PTS, 2.0 AST, 1.4 STL in an SEC complementary role. Vanderbilt 2025-26: 16.1 PTS, 4.5 AST, 3.0 REB, 2.6 STL in 28 games on .440/.350/.900, with a 30-point SEC tournament quarterfinal win over Tennessee. Draft: undrafted (2026); agreed to an Exhibit 10 with Philadelphia on June 27, 2026.

No NBA record — his most recent competitive season is 2025-26 at Vanderbilt.

Durability: No injury flags on record; the 28-game Vanderbilt season is his shortest since Troy, and nothing in the file attributes that to health.

Trajectory: The record shows a steal-first guard who scored whenever the level allowed (17.5 at High Point, 16.1 at Vanderbilt) and defended at every stop, entering the NBA old for a rookie at 24. In 2026-27 he competes to survive Philadelphia's camp and anchor Delaware, with a two-way conversion as the realistic best case. He becomes fantasy-relevant only in very deep category formats, and only if he gets an NBA or two-way deal and guard injuries hand him minutes where his 2.6 college steals can translate — the .900 college FT% is the quiet secondary asset.
