Clippers 2024-2025 Player Preview: Jordan Miller

Clippers 2024-2025 Player Preview: Jordan Miller

Our player preview series for the 2025 Clippers continues with Jordan Miller, the Clippers’ exciting second-year wing.

Basic Information

Height: 6’6”

Weight: 202 pounds

Position: Shooting Guard/Small Forward

Age: 24

Years in NBA: 1

NBA Stats: Averaged 1.6 points and 0.6 rebounds in 3.5 minutes per game across 8 games with 5/9 shooting from the field, 1-2 from three, and 2-2 from the line

G-League Stats: Averaged 20.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.2 steals per game on 48.8/35.7/82.2 shooting splits in 39 games played

Contract Status: In the second year of a two-year two-way deal

Expectations

Unfortunately for Clippers fans hyped off Miller’s awesome Summer League performance, he’s still buried on the NBA roster. As a shooting guard/small forward, Miller has Terance Mann, Derrick Jones Jr., Norm Powell, and Amir Coffey ahead of him, not counting Kris Dunn (can function as an off-guard), Kevin Porter Jr., or Bones Hyland, who are more point guard types but could play next to Dunn as well. It’s possible he passes the smaller guys like Porter Jr. and Hyland, which means that even an injury to Coffey could thrust Miller into playing time, but I think it would take multiple injuries or some really poor veteran play to get Miller fully into Ty Lue’s rotations. Thus, expectations for Miller should be kept in check.

Strengths

For all his scoring at Summer League, what stood out the most about Jordan Miller was his defense. That was his strongest point entering the draft, and was a standout quality in the G-League too. Despite being slender, Miller offers height, length, instincts, and surprising strength on defense, allowing him to both hound on-ball guards, switch onto larger forwards, and force turnovers. Much bigger and stronger NBA wings might push him around, but Jordan would probably be a plus NBA defender the moment he gets real rotation minutes.

Really, Jordan Miller is just good at basketball. He has excellent instincts on when to cut, is capable of making simple and quick passes on offense, and is a solid contributor on the glass. While not a strong ball-handler, Miller’s quick first step and length allows him to finish inside, and he’s relentless going to the rim instead of settling for midrange jumpers. He’s also a force in transition, using nifty euro-steps and spins to evade defenders and generate smooth finishes. There are just a variety of ways Jordan Miller contributes to his teams when he’s on the court.

Weaknesses

Shooting remains a bit of a question mark. Miller shot well from three in the G-League and was confident with the long ball in Summer League, but his track record of shooting from three remains small. If the 35% on medium volume translates from the G-League, Miller will be around league average for a wing, which is great considering his other strengths.

Despite his prolific scoring in Summer League and the G-League, Miller remains much more of a play finisher than a creator. He can shoot, he can attack closeouts, and he’s great slashing to the rim, but he’s not someone who will run pick and rolls or direct an offense. This is totally fine for a player like Jordan, but on a Clippers team that will probably be offensively starved, it’s possible Miller is passed in the rotation by guys who might offer a bit more playmaking or creation chops.

Summary

I don’t think Jordan Miller gets much of a rotation chance
this year unless things go really bad for the Clippers or he’s just too good to
keep on the bench, but hopefully he still gets significantly more of a look in
the NBA than his rookie season. If all goes well, the Clippers will be ready to
give him a “regular” NBA contract next summer and move him into their rotation
plans for 2026. Even if he doesn’t get any more playing time this year than
last year (unlikely), if he does well in practice and the coaching staff likes
what they see, he might be in a similar position anyway.
