Player I'm keeping an eye on from TCU, and it isn't Mike Miles. Emanuel Miller is a 6'7" 215 lb wing for TCU. He started his career at Texas A&M where he played more as a post player than a wing. In the 2020-21 season for A&M, he averaged 16 ppg and 8 rpg in 17 games played. He was 0-6 on the season from 3pt range.
He transferred to TCU after that season and transitioned to playing more as a wing. He had mixed results and finished the season with 10 ppg and 6 rpg for a team that played at a slower pace. He took 45 3's and only made 11.
This season, TCU has opened up their offense and is one of, if not the, best transition teams in the country. Miller is emerging as their clear #2 behind Miles and has upped his game over the last month. On the season he is averaging 15 and 6 on 58/48/70 shooting splits.
Over his last 7 games, he has upped those averages to 17 and 7 (which includes a 7 pt 5 reb game vs Iowa St) while shooting 60% from the field and 54% from 3.
The 3 pt volume isn't there as he is just 13-27 on the season, but this is a guy that was 0-6 from 3 just 2 seasons ago. If the 3 pt shot can stay consistent with increased volume, I think this guy could be an absolute steal as a 3 and D wing. He still has a very strong mid range and finishing game from his seasons in the post at A&M.
