Larry Miller, UNC (1965-68)

Larry Miller was was a two-time first-team All-American in 1967 and 1968. Miller was also voted the ACC Tournament MVP and ACC Player of the Year in both seasons. In addition to that, he was the 1967 ACC Athlete of the Year. In 2003, he was on the ACC’s 50th Anniversary team.

Miller ranks seventh all-time at UNC in scoring (1,982 points) and has the fourth-highest scoring average at UNC (21.8 points per game). He’s tied with Charles Scott for the third all-time highest scoring average during a UNC career (22.1) and ranks in the top-10 for most games scoring in double figures during an entire career (64). Miller accomplished this feat twice during the 1966-67 and 1967-68 seasons.

Moreover, he ranks seventh all-time in scoring at UNC (1,982 points), eighth in field goals made in a season (278; 1966-67) and seventh in field goals made in a UNC career (765). He ranks fifth in field goals attempted in a season (553), fifth in field goals attempted during a UNC career (1,498) and 16th for most career rebounds (834) as a Tar Heel. Miller is the only guard amongst the top 20 rebounders in UNC Basketball history.

If you did not know about Miller, now you do. Keep in mind that he accomplished all of these things in just three seasons. He could have easily been UNC’s best shooting guard of all-time if it was not for someone who has a Jumpman logo on the front of the school’s basketball jerseys.
