At the beginning of the season, Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson seemed destined to vie for the first overall call-up to the 2023 draft. Within a few months, however, the Frenchman has gone on the run and will surely be the first player chosen next June, while Henderson is likely to lose the second position to Brandon Miller.

Then again 19 points against Maryland in the Sweet 16, and then closed his tournament at the Elite 8 against San Diego State with 9 points and 11 rebounds. Overall in the NCAA Tournament, Miller shot 7/33 from three-point range and 13/61 from the field..
