Former Kentucky Mr. Basketball, UK standout Darius Miller signs with New Orleans Pelicans

Former University of Kentucky standout and Kentucky Mr. Basketball winner Darius Miller is reportedly back in the NBA.

Miller has agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, according to basketball reporter David Pick. He could take the court this season in New Orleans alongside fellow UK products Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins.

The Pelicans first drafted Miller, a 6-foot-8 small forward, in the second round of the 2012 NBA draft. He bounced back and forth between the NBA and the D-League for three seasons, playing 102 total NBA games with New Orleans, before signing with German club Brose Bamberg in 2015, where he helped the team win three straight league titles.
