Adam Miller enters transfer portal, leaving ASU men’s basketball with 1 holdover

Adam Miller will reportedly enter the transfer portal ahead of his final year of college basketball, making it a total of 10 transfer departures for Arizona State head coach Bobby Hurley.

The 6-foot-3 guard had a career year as a shooter, knocking down 42.9% of his 3s and 44.9% overall.

Hurley spoke glowingly at the end of the season about Miller’s toughness to fight through physical ailments. By the end of the season, he was battling a hip pointer as well as arm and oblique injuries.

Miller was ejected from a one-point loss to Kansas State on Feb. 4 for making contact with an opposing player. Because it was deemed a fighting ejection, it garnered a suspension for the next game, a 13-point loss at Oklahoma State.

He scored a season-high 22 points in the next game, a double-overtime thriller at Texas Tech.

But he was again ejected the next game for expressing his displeasure with a technical foul call, earning a second technical in the process.

Where does Adam Miller’s departure leave ASU?

Trevor Best, who has confirmed his plans to remain in Tempe, is the only remaining scholarship player from the 2024-25 squad. He didn’t start the year with the team, graduating high school in December and joining it officially in January.

Miller would’ve projected as the primary option on a restructured roster that will include at least four transfer additions and at least four 2025 freshmen.

Moe Odum of Pepperdine and Best, both at 6-foot-1, are joined by 6-foot-3 Bryce Ford, a Toledo transfer who will return to the Valley after starring at Phoenix Pinnacle High, as the only members of the backcourt.
