Shonn Devante Miller (born August 26, 1993) is an American former professional basketball player. He played college basketball for Cornell and Connecticut.
Miller is a native of Euclid, Ohio and attended St. Ignatius High School. He played for the King James Shooting Stars AAU team.[1] Miller was an Associated Press Divisions I All-Ohio Honorable Mention as a senior.[2]
College career
Miller was coach Bill Courtney's first recruit at Cornell. In 2011–12, he was the Ivy League rookie of the year. He injured his shoulder in a game at Princeton and missed the final four games of the regular season, all Cornell losses.[3] He still was named to the First Team All-Ivy League after averaging 11.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.[1] Miller was forced to sit out his junior season due to shoulder surgery as the Big Red won only two games without him. On March 3, 2015, Cornell upset league champion Harvard 57–49, with Miller contributing 24 points and 15 rebounds.[3] As a senior, he averaged 16.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game and was named to the First Team All-Ivy. Miller also led the team in blocks and steals and became the first player in Cornell history to amass 100 blocks and 100 steals in a career.[4] Courtney called him the most talented player he coached.[3]
Due to an Ivy League rule that forbids graduate players, Miller was forced to transfer for his final season of eligibility. He opted to transfer to Connecticut, which was coming off a 20–15 season and NIT appearance.[4] He chose the Huskies after a phone call with Kevin Ollie but would have preferred to stay with Cornell.[5] Miller scored a season-high 25 points in a 99–52 blowout of Central Connecticut State on December 23, 2015, in a game that saw teammate Daniel Hamilton post a triple-double.[6] In his only season with the Huskies, he averaged 12.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.[7] He was named an Honorable Mention All-American Athletic Conference.[8]
