Sean Miller knows a thing or two about elite defensive players.
In the last three years alone, he’s had the likes of Aaron Gordon, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Nick Johnson, and T.J. McConnell on his roster.
For two of those four — Gordon and Hollis-Jefferson — their defensive ability led them to be first-round NBA Draft picks.
Yet, Miller might have an even better defender on his roster this season in Kadeem Allen.
“During the eight seasons that I’ve been here, he’s right there as the best,” Miller said after Arizona’s 82-73 win over Colorado on Saturday.
