Sharing The Wealth: Quincy Miller, Sin City Sensation

Slam Online just ran a nice little snippet on 2011 recruit, Quincy Miller, recapping his game from the Vegas Tournaments. Obviously, Miller is a top notch recruit and is really starting to turn heads.

Miller has a similar body to NBA star Kevin Durant gives off a little bit of a Durant feel to his game. He’s a lanky 6-8 forward who can bomb from deep, but also give you the business inside. Like KD, he’s long, athletic, and has tons of potential down the road. Now he’s nowhere near as polished as the former rookie of the year was his junior year, but there are certainly a number of similarities. Like many kids, the Chicago native bounced to a North Carolina prep school and reclassified a couple of years, so he’s a little older than his pals in the Class of 2011.

While we certainly agree with the Kevin Durant comparison (his stroke and the way he plays are reminiscent of a young Durant), he is only 15 years old, so he actually is a lot YOUNGER than most of his pals in the 2011 class. As his recruitment heats up even more, you can expect a lot more attention and hype. It has been an extremely fast rise for Miller, who entered the summer as somewhat of an unknown. However, if you remember back to the Boo Williams, we mentioned him as a certain force in the 2011 class.

While some are reporting that the Wolfpack staff is not heavily involved with Miller, we've heard otherwise and expect Coach Lowe and company to make a hard push for the local sensation. We'll keep you updated and should be bringing you a Quincy Miller exclusive interview sometime in the near future. Stay Tuned!
