}} Quincy Cortez Miller (born November 18, 1992) is an American professional basketball player who plays for Crvena zvezda of the Basketball League of Serbia. He has also previously played for the Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets as well as the Reno Bighorns, Iowa Energy and Grand Rapids Drive of the NBA Development League. He was born in the Chicago metropolitan area and was raised there until the age of 13, at which point he moved to live with an uncle in North Carolina so that he could live a better life. He attended four different high schools, but eventually became one of the top ten high school basketball prospects in the class of 2011. He played for USA Basketball in the 2010 FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship. Early in his senior year, he tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rendering him incapable of playing the remainder of the season. He played his true freshman season with the Baylor University Bears men's basketball team as a forward for the 2011–12 team. In his freshman season, the team set school records for its best start (17–0), longest winning streak (17) and highest ranking (3/3). Following the 2011–12 Big 12 Conference men's basketball season, he was named the Big 12 co-Freshman of the Year and was recognized as an honorable mention All-Big 12 and a Big 12 All-Rookie Team selection by the Big 12 coaches. He was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year by ''Sporting News''. In the NBA, he has had a modest role for most of his first two seasons. He began to get regular playing time midway through his second season and in the final weeks of his second season he became an everyday starter due to injury. ==High school career== At age 13, his uncle Lamont Taylor from Fairmont, North Carolina took Miller in to get him away from the Chicago street life. He transferred from North Chicago High School and played his freshman season for Fairmont High School (North Carolina) before transferring to Quality Education Academy where he grew as a sophomore.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quincy Miller )〕 Miller was relatively unknown until the 2009 Pangos All-American Camp and the Hoop Jamboree. Miller had begun playing AAU basketball for D-One Sports. Then by July 2009 he was a top 10 class of 2011 prospect by Scout.com and top 25 by ''PrepStar'' and had interest from Duke, Wake Forest, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Baylor, Memphis and Kansas. Late in Miller's 2009–10 junior season, he began receiving significant support from the 2010 ''ESPN HS'' Mr. Basketball USA voters who moved him into 11th place. At the time, he was competing for Quality Education Academy in Winston-Salem.〔 He led the school to the National Christian Schools Athletic Association title. Following the season he was named a second-team ESPNHIGHSCHOOL.com All-American forward and announced his transfer to Westchester Country Day School of High Point where his close friend Deuce Bello played. At the time, he held offers from Duke and Kentucky. He announced that along with the transfer, he would be changing jersey numbers from 35 to 22.〔 The following summer ''SLAM Magazine'' rated him as the top prospect in the class of 2011 before he appeared at the June 2010 Pangos All-American Camp. After leading his team in rebounding in the camp's "Cream of the Crop" All-Star finale game, Miller earned team MVP honors. In June 2010, Miller was the sixth man for the gold medal-winning team at the FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship. He led the team in rebounding average for the tournament, was second in scoring average, and made the game-winning 3-point shot with 25 seconds remaining in the championship game against Brazil.〔 His 2010 average of 9.2 rebounds per game was tied with Chris Bosh's 2002 average for second in the history of USA Basketball's U18 competition behind only Shareef Abdur-Rahim 1994 10.1 average.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USA FIBA Americas U18 Championship For Men Records )〕 Like most elite level high school players, Miller participated on the summer Amateur Athletic Union circuit, including showcase events such as the July NYC Summer Classic. Based on his play during the high school basketball season, AAU tournaments and national summer camps, experts from ESPN RISE, ESPN College Basketball Recruiting and other talent evaluators selected him to the August 2010 Boost Mobile Elite 24 event. By the time of the event, he was the fourth ranked basketball player in the ESPNU 100.〔 Following his tournament play, ''ESPN HS'' began comparisons with him to Kevin Durant. At the event, his pass to Bello during the slam dunk contest appeared on SportsCenter.〔 The following week, he played at the UIC Pavilion in the fourth annual adidas Nations global experience with many of the world's elite high school players. In the September 2010 ScoutsFocus Elite 80 All Star Game in Greensboro, North Carolina, after fans heckled him that his team was trailing, he rattled off 18 consecutive points. Following in the footsteps of basketball players like LeBron James, Kevin Love, Tyreke Evans and Harrison Barnes, Miller was the 2010–11 high school diary keeper for ''SLAM Magazine''. Once Miller and Bello were united, they were described as arguably the best high school basketball tandem in the country.〔 Entering his senior season, Miller was a first team All-Southeast Region team selection by ''ESPN HS''. At the time he was listed in third in the 2010-2011 Preseason ESPNHS Mr. Basketball USA voting (behind Austin Rivers and Mike Gilchrist). The team was preseason #32 in the POWERADE FAB 50 ESPNHS Boys' basketball team rankings. In December 2010, Miller suffered a torn ACL, ending his senior season, and high school career. As a senior, he was ineligible for the McDonald's All-American Game, but was an honorary All-American selection for the Jordan Brand Classic game. He did not play in the game, but participated in drills. His Jordan Brand workouts refueled Durant comparisons. He was also a first team All-American selection by ''SLAM Magazine'' (along with Gilchrist, Rivers, Bradley Beal, Anthony Davis and Marquis Teague). He was rated as the #4 player by Scout.com, the #7 player in the ESPNU 100, and the #7 player by Rivals.com. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quincy Miller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
