Here’s a good catch for Bobby Hurley, the coach of ArizonaState (and brother of Dan Hurley, champion coach with Connecticut at the beginning of the month), which secures the arrival for next season of a Adam Miller revengeful.
Revanchist, because the Chicago native signed a rather disappointing 2022/23 season on an individual basis (11.5 points on 34% on shots, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists), while expectations around him were relatively high ahead of the season, after a white season in 2021/22 due to a ruptured cruciate ligament in the knee.
In a team in transition, for the first year of new coach Matt MacMahon (14 wins for 19 defeats, with a series of 14 consecutive losses in particular), Adam Miller thus struggled to play his game effectively, while his season “freshman” (2020/21) in Illinois had been very encouraging (8.3 points and 2.8 rebounds). Unsurprisingly, he therefore chose to relaunch in a new context.
At the Sun Devils, who are coming out of a successful season, he will bring his scoring skills to an established and experienced team, and will then be able to contribute in attack with less responsibility, but certainly more efficiency.
