Why Mercy Miller Could Breakout This Year (Film Breakdown)

Mercy Miller could be one of the most interesting breakout candidates in college basketball this season. Miller has already shown flashes of what makes him such an intriguing player, but I think his skill set could translate to a much bigger impact this year. One of the biggest things that stands out is his ability to attack closeouts and slash to the basket. When defenders run him off the line, Miller can get downhill, use his strength, and make plays around the rim. His shooting has also taken a major step forward. After shooting just 17.9% from three as a freshman, Miller improved to 34.0% as a sophomore, giving defenses another reason to stay attached to him on the perimeter.

His defensive ability, physicality, competitiveness, and overall intangibles allow him to impact the game even when his shot isn’t falling. In this video, I break down why Mercy Miller could take another step forward this season and why his combination of shooting, slashing, closeout attacks, defense, and intangibles could make him a breakout player for Houston.
