Brandon Miller draft stock: Can his value be impacted as a prospect in wake of murder allegations?

Brandon Miller is one of the best young basketball players in the nation. The 6-foot-9 forward, who currently plays for the Alabama Crimson Tide, has been linked to a fatal shooting, which may impact his value.

The young star was involved in the shooting of a woman in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. While he did not perpetrate the crime, Miller's handgun was used in a fatal shooting.

Before the incident, the talented forward was projected to be a lottery pick in the 2023 NBA draft. However, his value may be drastically impacted, even though he wasn't charged with a crime.

Despite his involvement in the fatal shooting, Miller was not suspended by his team. Instead, he kept playing and was incredible in his last game. The talented star led his team to a 2-point overtime victory against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Wednesday night.

Miller spent 43 minutes on the floor, scoring a career-high 41 points and grabbing eight rebounds in a huge victory. He was very efficient, going 14-for-25 from the floor and 6-for-13 from long range.

The Alabama forward has been compared to some of the other amazing forwards for good reason. While he still has to improve to be as good as George and Durant, he's done a great job so far in the 2022-23 season.

In 28 games for the Crimson Tide this season, Miller has averaged 19.5 points and 8.0 rebounds. He's also been good on the defensive end of the floor and has been lethal from the 3-point range.
