Sophomore power-forward Xavier Miles is starting to see his basketball career take some shape at Denham Springs, and it might not be long before he blossoms into a star.
A versatile threat, Miles is accustomed to playing in the paint, but has been working lately to establish himself as a wing threat too.
“I feel like I’m best at finishing around the rim, and I can post up and help our guards get open and set them up for easy shots,” said Miles, who says becoming a small forward is his goal.
“I score most in the paint, but sometimes I can shoot around the perimeter, or mid-range. I need to work on my ball-handling and shooting the most.”
After playing with the freshman squad last season, Miles got his chance to play up with the varsity earlier this season; and he flourished.
“Last year I didn’t even play varsity, I just played freshman. And earlier this year we played against the defending state champs and I played well and started some after that,” he said.
His goals for the season?
“I want to get better and help get my team more wins,” said Miles.
“I’m just focusing on high school right now. But this summer I hope I get a great scholarship, or just any scholarship basically.”
