Role case

Miller appeared in five NBA games in 2025-26, averaging 3.0 points, 0.8 assists and 0.4 steals in 6.6 minutes. The sample is too small to support a meaningful NBA fantasy baseline. ESPN stats, accessed 2026-07-18

San Antonio signed Miller to a two-way contract in February, and that deal remains the third two-way slot alongside Ja'Kobi Gillespie and Maliq Brown. Austin Spurs release, 2026-02-23 The San Antonio Spurs have Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson, Harrison Barnes and Carter Bryant ahead of him on the wing.

All 11 NBA appearances came with Chicago; he has yet to play an NBA game for San Antonio.

Durability: No injury flags in college or the pros; the 11-game NBA total is entirely a contract-status artifact.

Trajectory: The record shows a strong-bodied college scorer whose NBA sample (11 garbage-time games across two seasons) proves nothing either way, and whose two-way journey — four organizations in two years — marks him as fringe in the league's own pricing. In 2026-27 he competes with Gillespie and Brown to be San Antonio's most-called-up two-way while five standard-contract wings sit above him. He becomes fantasy-relevant only via an injury wave plus a conversion to a standard deal; until an NBA team gives him 15 consistent minutes, he is watchlist-only in full-ecosystem leagues.
