Leader Of The Pack

Adam Miller, aka “Ace Wolf,” has always wanted to stand out. And so far, the elite point guard from Chicago’s Morgan Park High School has done just that.

If you’re going to try to understand Adam Miller, you need to understand this whole “wolf” thing. There are levels to it.

First, there’s his nickname, “Ace Wolf,” which he explains is a derivation of his father’s nickname. “My dad’s name was ‘Ace,’ so I was always ‘Lil’ Ace.’ I was like, I gotta be something different. I gotta stand out a little bit more. Me and my AAU teammates would give each other animal nicknames, and I was like, I wanna be a werewolf. Call me ‘Ace Wolf.’ Ever since then, I’ve been, like, a superhero-hooper-type thing. Just doing what I do.”
