What Kiyomi McMiller brings to the table

Kiyomi McMiller would be a promising pickup for any program in need of a high-scoring guard. ESPNW ranked her as the No. 22 player in her class, and she left high school as a McDonald's All-American nominee and Jordan All-American.

The guard spent the final two years of high school at Life Center Academy and put up impressive stats as a senior, averaging 30.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.8 steals.

As a freshman at Rutgers, McMiller thrived. She averaged 18.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.7 steals per game. However, she appeared in just 21 games, last hitting the court for the Scarlet Knights on Feb. 6.

It seems that McMiller may have had some kind of rift with head coach Coquese Washington. There were several games that the player sat out for reasons not related to injury. Notably, she did not play in the team's game against USC on January 5. She shared on Instagram that her head coach was behind this decision.

What happened between Kiyomi McMiller and Washington is unclear, but the young guard is a difference maker. She could offer a team a guard who can consistently put up double-digit performances and pick up rebounds.
