Myron Medcalf lists his top 10 ‘locker room’ guys who, regardless of any stats, are leaders on their teams. Among them, Kentucky’s own Darius Miller. Here is what Medcalf had to say.
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana][I]He could be pouting right now. He could be whining about playing time. He could be tweeting about coming off the bench even though he’s a veteran. But that’s not Darius Miller. The senior has embraced his reserve role, as the most talented group of underclassmen in America have led the Wildcats to top of the national rankings. When Miller played with John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins two years ago, egos clashed as vets tried to mesh with newcomers. But this Kentucky team has avoided that season-killer. Miller has a lot to do with that. A lot of guys say, “I’ll do whatever coach wants me to do.” Miller is actually doing that. He’s the glue for this talented assembly.[/I]

It is undeniable that as much as Kentucky needs Davis, Lamb and Teague, they need guys like Michael Kidd-
Gilchrist and Darius Miller to be the heart and glue that creates a team as opposed to a collection of talent. (shout out to Cameron Mills, whom I was lucky enough to have a conversation about this very topic with recently.)
