Quotable:
“I think my confidence rose (as a senior). Confidence from my teammates, confidence from my coach, confidnce from assistant coaches. Coach (Phil Martelli) told me in his office that he sees me being the most improved player in the A-10, and having that confidence from such a prestigous coach makes your confidence skyrocket."
Fit for the Bulls:
Long wings who can defend and hit from the outside are being coveted more than ever in today's NBA. That's what Miles brings to the table as a senior who shot 39 percent from deep and averaged a block per game for the Hawks. That combination is rare, and while Miles isn't likely to hear his name called on June 23rd he could prove his worth in Summer League, using his 6-foot-11 wingspan to disrupt offenses. The Bulls may be in the market for a defensive wing alongside Jimmy Butler, so Miles could be one to watch.
