Shooting guard: Daxter Miles Jr.

Like the previous two guys listed, Daxter Miles Jr. thrived off getting steals and easy buckets in transition. He wasn’t a standout most evenings, but Miles is nevertheless in a position to continue his pace going into his junior campaign.

The 6’3″, 185 pound guard averaged 9.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists a game in 2015-16. He was pretty bad at shooting threes (30 percent), but had a decent overall shooting percentage (43 percent).

Miles is the third leading scorer returning and with development, those percentages could increase. Somewhere around 24-27 minutes a game with similar averages to last season are what I will project from Miles at this stage.
