How does Victor Wembanyama compare to NCAA's projected best prospect, Brandon Miller?

Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller are among the top prospects for the upcoming 2023 NBA draft. While Wembanyama is considered the best international prospect in the class, Miller could be the NCAA's best.

However, his draft stock could be affected by a recent controversy involving a murder on Alabama's campus.

Victor Wembanyama scouting report

Victor Wembanyama might be one of the most hyped prospects ever. Wembanyama is a unique player due to the combination of size and skills. He stands at 7-foot-5 and weighs around 230 pounds.

Wembanyama can handle the ball and has a beautiful shooting touch. He can score in many different ways from posting up, fadeaways and off the dribble. He can also hit shots from beyond the arc, which was a sight to behold during his matchup against the NBA G League Ignite Team last year.

The 19-year-old has an 8-foot wingspan that makes him a monster on the defensive end. He can block shots one-on-one or as a held defender. He has the agility to chase guards through the paint and could even defend the perimeter if needed.

Brandon Miller player profile

Brandon Miller of the Alabama Crimson Tide

Brandon Miller is among the best players in the nation this season. Miller is leading the Alabama Crimson Tide to a potential number one spot heading into March Madness. He's regarded by some scouts as the third-best prospect in the draft behind Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson.

Miller is a 6-foot-9 forward who weighs around 200 pounds. He can play both forward positions and has a great offensive game. He has the length to shoot over smaller defenders, while being faster than bigger players.

The 20-year-old Alabama star can hit jumpers from mid-range to the 3-point area. His only weakness is that he's not the most athletic player, but he could still develop into a respectable defender. His NBA comparisons, according to NBA Draft Room, are Rudy Gay and Danny Granger.
