Miller enters the rankings at No. 41 overall as he sets eyes on his first season at Mt. Zion Prep. The Illinois native looks the part at 6-foot-6 with a wiry frame and a smooth outside shooting stroke. The former Plainfield East (IL) standout clearly has the tools and makeup to be a productive piece of the Warriors’ rotation, but in our viewings thus far this fall, we haven’t seen the shot drop as much as we’d hoped. Still, putting him in the top 50 is warranted given his body of work before moving to the DMV. He’s a guy who could easily shoot up the rankings when he finds his role and groove as Mt. Zion prepares to play a daunting schedule in the Elite Prep League AND The Grind Session.

Transferring in from Illinois to spend his final year of high school playing a national schedule with Mt. Zion, Miller shows real intrigue with his blend of size and feel on the perimeter. He slides seamlessly across the positional spectrum as a big guard who can initiate offense or make plays from the wing. A smooth athlete with nice wiry strength, he’s a poised decisionmaker with the ball in his hands and shows flashes of versatile shotmaking ability from beyond the arc. Miller understandably looks to still be getting his feet under him in his new environment but it’s clear why he’s generated significant steam on the recruiting trail in the Midwest.

KJ Miller KJ Miller 6'6" | PG Mt. Zion Preparatory Academy | 2027 State MD showed off his ability to play above the rim. He used his range to knock down passes in the backcourt, then took the ball coast-to-coast for a dunk. Miller was composed with the ball and finished on several slashing plays, but he also scored from mid-range and from three. Overall, Miller looks like a versatile guard with size. He can do a bit of everything, including scoring at all three levels, but his strength was in the backcourt.

Miller struggled at times during the event, but turned it up a notch in the last game against Lyons where he shot it as well as he did all weekend.  Long and lanky combo guard that poured in feathery deep balls especially from the wings.  Knocked them down off the catch, DHO’s, and pulling up draining five in the game along with flashing some of the live ball passing which makes him so intriguing!  Scouts and college coaches would like to see him play with more of a consistent motor because when assertive he is a big time player!
