Notre Dame guard Olivia Miles has finished two straight games with nine assists in the last week. Both were in wins over ACC opponents.
Miles has only logged three turnovers in her last two matchups, highlighting her eye for the game as Notre Dame continues to push through its ACC schedule. She would earn her 11th game with seven assists or more, bringing her impressive average up to an ACC-leading 7.3 assists per game. The Fighting Irish sit atop the ACC standings with an undefeated record in conference play, which includes a highlight win over then-No. 17 North Carolina.
Miles has shown she can be a fantastic all-around talent for the Sky should they choose to select her in this year's draft.
The 5-foot-10 guard has earned three triple-doubles this season, including one in her first game back from a knee injury. She is tied for the most career triple-doubles in ACC history with now-Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas, according to a December release. Thomas, who suited up for Maryland from 2010-14, recorded six triple-doubles during her four-year Terrapins career. Miles showed off her all-around talent with two-straight triple-doubles in wins over Loyola Maryland and Virginia to cap off 2024.
Having her ability to be a leader in the halfcourt and beyond can be a massive boost to a Sky squad in need of passing and playmaking talent.
Miles looked comfortable leading Notre Dame with the ball in her hands against Clemson. She continued to direct traffic even when she was off the ball, showing her basketball smarts as the Fighting Irish took a comfortable win over the Tigers. Miles showed off her decision making and improved shooting when she hit a pull-up jumper from the 3-point line in transition late in the first quarter, which could make her an even deadlier in the fastbreak for the Sky should she fall to them at No. 3 in this year's draft.
