It's a big win for Miller, who started his agency after stepping down as coach at Houston High School in 2021. Miller spent 17 seasons in the NBA and two seasons serving under coach Penny Hardaway with the Tigers.
Miller also represents Alabama guard J.D. Davison, Duke forward Wendell Moore Jr. and Kentucky's Kellan Grady, among others.
