Thread: Darius Miller

Hey, does anyone else have high expectations for Darius Miller this season? I was just sitting here thinking about how he should be able to break free of the pack next year if he chooses to do so. I think he is somewhat forgettable with all of the ***** players we have been adding as of late. It would really be sad if he came back in the same role he had last year. If there is such a thing as a scoring/veteran leader he should be the one to STEP UP. There is a lot of BIG TIME talent on that roster. I am hoping he doesn't get swallowed up by the youth and talent coming. I can see where he had a difficult time last year finding his groove in the offense. He kind of got squeezed out by PPAT/WALL/CUZ and even Bledsoe. That said he started most games and was a fairly good contributor. Anyone else have a thought?

i think miller, dodson, and liggins will be pretty much interchangeable in the back court with miller steping up a lil more than the other two cause of starting on the all star squad last year, he'll be used to playing with top freshman and will help them dominate and provide the wisdom and guidance they need to be the well oiled bball machine that is kentucky!

Yeah, Miller can drive and hit that pull up in the lane. If he can be consistent (big if) from the arc and hit the floater, Its Miller Time Baby!!!

Miller is going to be key next year to provide some leadership. I do hope his consistency improves this year which could make him a real force on the team.

I think Milller can get inside the free throw line almost at will. He could be deadly if he were to become consistent .

millers statistics have stayed virtually the same in his two years here, if he puts the effort into improving his 3 shot and leading the team, then he has the potential to be a HUGE force next yer, he just so dang inconsistant

I have never been high on Miller.He`s an averege player at best.However he has the potential to be high on my list.The last 2 years he`s been to inconsistent and lets things upset his game.He is going to have to realize that there are going to be very good players on the team every year and play on.I do think he will be better this coming season and step it up!

The question on Darius is, can he be a seasoned leader...

Coach Calipari has gone on record as having high expections for Darius Miller next season.

A well built small forward, Miller is a definite inside/outside threat. He can score in the post and is a strong rebounder and shot blocker. On the perimeter, he passes well, but needs to extend his shooting range and improve as a lateral defender.
