TCU guard Mike Miles declares for 2023 NBA Draft

TCU guard Mike Miles has declared for the NBA Draft, announcing the news on his Instagram page.

A Dallas-Fort Worth native, Miles has been a star for the Horned Frogs over the last three seasons.

“To the entire TCU staff and community, the Flying T club, and the best student section ever…Thank you for embracing a kid from Highland Hills, and cheering him on for three years…Much respect. To my teammates/brothers, we didn’t go where we wanted to go but we did what they thought we couldn’t do,” Miles said on social media. “After talks with my family and my coaches past and present, I have decided to declare for the 2023 NBA Draft.”

He made the All-Big 12 freshman team his first year on campus and the All-Big 12 second team last season. Miles dealt with injuries this season but was still able to be named to the All-Big 12 second team by the AP.

Playing in 27 games this season, Miles averaged a career-high 17.9 points on a career-best 49.7% shooting from the field. He also averaged 2.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

More on the 2023 NBA Draft

The 2023 NBA Draft is set to take place on Thursday, June 22, 2023, in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. Round 1 of the draft will be announced by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, while Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum is expected to handle the second round of picks.

To be eligible for the NBA Draft, players must be at least 19 years in age during the calendar year that the draft is held and at least one NBA season from their high school graduation date, or the date that would have been if they are not graduated. It is not required that player spend that one year playing college basketball, though. Players can play in either college, abroad, or the G League Ignite if they choose so.

While this is a significant change from what the rules once were, players are eligible to enter their names into the NBA Draft pool and explore their options by hiring an agent to go through the process, while still keeping their college eligibility. The deadline to make that move is on April 23 beginning at 11:59 p.m. ET. Players have until June 12 at 5 p.m. ET to withdraw their name from the pool and return to college.

The NBA Draft Lottery will be held on May 16, which is also the start of the NBA Conference Finals.
