Baba Miller, former forward for Florida Atlantic University, was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 36th overall pick in the NBA Draft on June 24. Miller spent the 2024-25 season at FAU, averaging 11.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks. This marks the second consecutive year that an FAU player has been drafted, with Alijah Martin being the first last year. Miller's selection underscores FAU's growing presence in the NBA, a program that previously had no draft picks for 36 years before Martin was chosen in 2025. In addition to Miller and Martin, other former FAU players have recently secured professional contracts, enhancing the program's pipeline to the NBA.
