PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. - The Northern Arizona Suns announced they have completed a trade for Daxter Miles Jr., who was selected in the first round, 11th overall, in the 2018 NBA G League Draft by the Iowa Wolves today.
The Suns also acquired Iowa's original second round pick in the 2019 NBA G League Draft. The Wolves receive the returning player rights to Xavier Silas and Roddy Peters.
Miles (6-3, 200 pounds) played the last four years at West Virginia. He averaged 12.9 points on 44.7 percent shooting, 3.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 36 games (33 starts) this past year, his senior season. Altogether for the Mountaineers, Miles played 136 games, starting 124 of those, including all 35 games as a true freshman in 2014-15. He averaged 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game in his collegiate career.
