[/COLOR][/FONT][/CENTER][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]Darius Miller endured his freshman year under Billy Gillespie (a triumph in itself) [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]and had to deal with a complete change in staff the following one. He was a vital piece of the [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]puzzle in seasons past and played a key role in Kentucky’s run for number eight. Now, he is [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]preparing for a spot on an NBA roster and his family is almost more excited than he is.
[/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]Miller’s father, Brian, spoke with [URL=”http://www.maysville-online.com/sports/miller-family-anxiously-awaiting-nba-draft/article_53076d5a-c3d5-5453-9206-1e70fadd942a.html”]The Ledger Independent [/URL]about the past few weeks:
[/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman]”In the workouts he’s had so far, Darius has surprised some people with his athleticism and he’s [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman]been shooting the ball well,” he said. “He’s already played with a lot of guys who are in the [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman]NBA, so it’s nothing new to him. He played with a lot of great talent at UK but he went also [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman]through all that adversity while he was there, which I feel really helped him to grow up to be a [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman]man. He showed a lot of intensity when he was faced with adversity and he was like, ‘You can’t [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Times New Roman]break me.'”[/FONT][/COLOR]
