Canadian big man Leonard Miller has shocked the college basketball world and is electing to enter his name into the 2022 NBA draft. According to Jonathan Givony from Draftexpress, the six-foot-11 big man entered his name on Saturday but plans on maintaining his college eligibility.

“Leonard Miller will enter the 2022 NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility, he told ESPN. The 6’11 Canadian had a great week at the Nike Hoop Summit last and will be heavily scrutinized by NBA teams in the pre-draft process,” wrote Givony via Twitter.

According to On3’s recruiting database, Miller is the top prospect to come out of Canada in the 2022 recruiting class. The five-star prospect also ranks 4th among small forwards and is the 11th best player in the class. The small forward/power forward from Ontario had yet to make a decision on what college to attend next season before making the announcement.

Miller currently has offers on the table from the Arizona Wildcats, the TCU Horned Frogs, and the Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky currently has the second-ranked recruiting class for 2022. On top of those three schools, the NBA G League is also a viable option for the young Canadian star.

The top available prospect in the class of 2022, Leonard Miller, has narrowed his list down to three finalists — Arizona, Kentucky, and the G-League.

The talented small forward out of Ontario will no longer consider Gonzaga, Alabama, Auburn, Kansas, Oklahoma State, TCU, Providence, and the Overtime Elite league.

After averaging 32 points per contest for Fort Erie International Academy, the lefty wing was invited to the Nike Hoop Summit last weekend. He measured in at 6-foot-11, 208 pounds, with a 7-foot-2 wingspan.

When On3 updated its 2022 player rankings in February, Miller made his first debut in any of the four major rankings. The Canadian big man landed as the No. 11 overall prospect in the class, and a five-star recruit.
