Looking At Kelly

GettyMiles Kelly #14 of the Dallas Mavericks shoots a technical free throw against the Los Angeles Lakers in the second half of a 2025 NBA Summer League game at the Thomas & Mack Center on July 10, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Kelly played his college basketball at Georgia Tech and Auburn.

He is coming off his rookie season in the NBA where he had averages of 3.1 points and 1.7 rebounds per contest while shooting 36.4% from the field in 14 games for the Dallas Mavericks.

@gswcba wrote (on October 8): “Miles Kelly with the team-high 24pts on 6/11 3PT. He shot 39% in the GL last year on almost 300 attempts. If you want to know what the Dubs are prioritizing in Santa Cruz this year developmentally? It’s movement shooters. Cryer, Kelly, Chance McMillian, Tyler Burton, etc”

The 23-year-old will likely play in the G League for the Warriors this year.
