No. 5 Isaiah Miller – UNCG

The Spartans should go into next season as the favorites to win the SoCon even suffering the loss of superstar Francis Alonso and a big part of that is going to be due to Isaiah Miller. Last year he was not even the number one option on his team and still averaged over 15 points a game while almost swiping nearly three steals a game in 27 minutes of game actions.

Talk about being unknown and underappreciated, Miller should know about that. Miller should see his minutes grow as well as his shot count tremendously going into next season. It would not be unrealistic to look up in February and see him having consistent 20 point games and four steals as well. He is also a player that when you see you won’t forget, as he can elevate with the best of them and could put some people on absolute posters going into next year.

As far as being unknown that will not last too far into 2019 as the Spartans are one of the best mid-major programs out there and Miller is going to be their unquestioned leader next year much like Alonso was this season.
