GCU wing duo vies for roster spots in NBA's developmental league
Grand Canyon's starting wings from last season are flying to the next level as part of NBA G League training camp rosters.
Sean Miller-Moore and Holland Woods II, key GCU starters on last season's 23-8 team, signed with G League franchises and began practices this week in the NBA's 30-team developmental league.
Miller-Moore, a 6-foot-5 forward, is going from Grand Canyon Lope to Grand Rapids Gold, the Denver Nuggets affiliate coached by former NBA star Andre Miller. Grand Rapids included Miller-Moore on its training camp roster of 16 players, 14 of which are competing for 10 roster spots for the regular season.
"I want to spend my first year or two here in North America in the G League and try to pursue my big dream, the NBA," Miller-Moore said after weighing three G League offers. "I am the modern-day G League player – athletic, can defend. It's just a plus if I start hitting shots. It's opportunity and staying confident. The sky's the limit. It's a great feeling."
Woods, a 6-foot-1 guard, has a similar opportunity in New York after signing with the Westchester Knicks and starting workouts Monday. Playing for former NBA player DeSagana Diop, Woods is one of 17 training camp players and is one of 14 players vying for nine regular-season roster spots.
"The goal for me has always has been to play in the NBA," Woods said. "Westchester has been successful with their guards and a successful G League program. There's a lot of opportunity here to get a chance and get called up to play in the NBA. It's a lot of fun doing something I always wanted to do since I was a little kid."
Since last GCU season ended in March, Miller-Moore debuted as a pro this summer in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. The Toronto native shot a team-leading 55.5% for Guelph, where he averaged 7.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 25.0 minutes per game.
Miller-Moore's GCU teams went 40-15 during head coach Bryce Drew's first two seasons, which ended with Miller-Moore becoming the team's top defender, making 54% of his shots and winning the Oscar Frayer Spirit Award.
"My senior year definitely played an impact in this because it really prepared me to have a role in that summer league (CEBL)," Miller-Moore said. "Buying into my role opened doors for me, so I'm grateful and excited.
"You improve as a person, and you end up improving as a player because you change your whole aspect of working hard and not being jealous. Before I got to GCU, I was focused on scoring. Coach Drew did a good job helping me define my role, and now I'm going to have a role everywhere I go."
Woods, a graduate of nearby Glendale Apollo High School, was one of five Division I players who reached the 1,900-point and 600-assist career milestones last season.
Woods transferred from Arizona State for his final year of eligibility and more than doubled his scoring average to 14.8 points per game for the Lopes. After being a 29.9% career 3-point shooter entering GCU, Woods made a career-best 38.4% of his 3-pointers last season.
"I had Coach Drew and Coach (Jamall) Walker and the other guys put a lot on my shoulders from Day 1 in recruiting calls," Woods said. "I knew I was going to be put in a position to be successful and be on a winning team. It taught me how to be effective not having the ball in my hands 24/7. I feel like I learned a lot, essentially become a scorer and picking it up on defense a little more.
"I've always played with a chip on my shoulder as an underdog. I'm here, and since Day 1, I've tried to establish myself, show everybody and let them know."
