Now in his senior year, Boopie Miller is performing at an outstanding level and still receiving few plaudits.

Playing for an unranked college creates a difficult scenario for a talented prospect to gain much media attention; SMU Mustangs guard Boopie Miller knows this all too well.

Despite having a career-high year, Miller’s name is rarely mentioned unless the Mustangs are locking horns with one of the elite teams of the NCAA — much like their recent matchup with the Duke Blue Devils.

Unfortunately, Miller sat this one out due to illness, which the commentators did highlight in the booth — which was about as much spotlight as his recent antics were awarded in recent times.

However, his versatility and visionary offensive attributes cannot be denied. Boopie Miller will be an undoubted steal in the second-round for an NBA franchise looking to uncover a diamond in the rough.

Miller is a master of all trades

As a defender, this is the exact mould of combo-guard that you simply do not want to face off with. Miller is an exceptional decision-maker in terms of playmaking and shooting the ball.

Currently (January 16), the Mustangs guard leads the ACC in assists (7.1 per game) with the third-best assist-to-turnover ratio in the ACC.

Not only is his eye for a pass sensational, but his ability to pick out a killer pass when driving into the lane and when the opposition throws a double-team in his direction.

In terms of scoring, Miller is just as deadly. The 22-year-old is averaging 20.8 points per game, while recording 47.5% from the floor.

From an entertainment standpoint, Boopie Miller is a captivating watch. Fantastic handles, electric in transition, and aggressive when attacking the paint.

Small guards can be a modern-day problem

Standing at around six feet, the scintillating senior may be overlooked by many NBA franchises because of his height.

We now live in a day and age where two-way players are highly-sought after assets. Even the most talented guard over recent times — such as Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and Trae Young to the Washington Wizards — have been packaged in a trade deal as teams cannot afford to have any weaknesses on defence.

A front office will be hesitant to draft a player with perceived defensive frailties unless there is a serious belief that they possess players on the roster who can pick up the slack.

Nevertheless, Miller has exhibited traits of someone who can be a presence on the defensive end of the court due to his fast hands. Currently, he is averaging a career-high two steals per game.

Undoubtedly, if an opportunity reveals itself for a franchise to draft Boopie Miller with a second-round pick, they must snatch at it.

The potential he wields could make him the steal of the entire drafting process.
