Happy birthday, Adam Miller. The former Mr. Basketball out of Morgan Park is 19 today and more than holding his own at Illinois, having started all 15 of a very good team’s games.
But this isn’t about birthdays or Miller or even the Illini, whose average age among their starters is, by the way, 21.
No, this is about ages. More specifically, the Bulls’ ages. The average age among their five leading men — Zach LaVine, Lauri Markkanen, Coby White, Wendell Carter Jr. and Patrick Williams — is basically the same as Illinois’. It’s a negligibly older 21.
