NBA Mock Draft: The best team fits for the top 10 prospects of the 2023 class
3. Brandon Miller, F, Alabama
Best team fit: Detroit Pistons
Even though the Detroit Pistons didn’t make the leap that many were expecting or hoping they would make this season, this is still a team that has a bright future. And one player that would make a ton of sense for this team, aside from the top 2 unanimous prospects, is Brandon Miller.
Adding a dynamic small forward such as Miller could be the final piece that this team needs to solidify its young core. Adding Miller to a core of Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, and Jalen Duren would make this one of the most talented young cores in the league.
Miller has been a dynamic player during his freshman season at Alabama and has star potential. Whether he’ll ever be a No. 1 on a team remains to be seen, but that’s the type of ceiling that Miller has heading into the NBA.
And I would be fine with Miller falling into the Pistons’ developmental system. It could be a great fit for both sides.
