Brandon Miller's name is expected to be called early during Thursday's NBA Draft. Miller averaged 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game during his freshman season with the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The San Antonio Spurs hold the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft and will almost certainly select highly touted French prospect Victor Wembanyama. Miller and G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson will battle for the second and third spots on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Miller met with reporters and shared his thoughts on who he believes in this greatest player in NBA history.

Oftentimes when the NBA's GOAT debate is brought up, names such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are usually mentioned.

But in Miller's mind, none of those players are at the top of his list. Instead, he believes that Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George is the greatest.

"I actually don’t think LeBron is the GOAT of basketball," Miller said. "My GOAT of basketball is Paul George. I grew up watching him. It was never just LeBron."

The social media account for "Podcast P with Paul George" show caught wind of Miller's comments and expressed appreciation.

"S/O projected top 3 pick Brandon Miller for his GOAT response. That’s love, [Brandon Miller]."
