French-American Kane Milling becomes first commitment of Nevada's Steve Alford era

Kane Milling is the first commitment of Nevada's Steve Alford era.

The 6-foot-4 combo guard most recently from France announced Monday he was signing scholarship papers with the Wolf Pack.

The 18-year-old lefty played for Espoirs Limoges last season, averaging 14.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He shot 38 percent from the field, including 32.9 percent from three, while making 64.8 percent of his free throws. Milling had season highs of 24 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists last year. Espoirs Limoges went 9-21 last year, ranking 16th in the 18-team league. Espoirs Limoges lost its last 14 games.

In 2017-18, Milling played for Espoirs Hyers-Toulon where he averaged 3.7 points and 1.2 rebounds per game in 11.6 minutes. He shot 39.5 percent from the field, including 31 percent from three. He made 71.4 percent of his free throws.

Milling is originally from Poway, Calif., but has spent the last six years in France, per this scouting report on him, which adds he's shown "dramatic growth year over year. He shot it well from three and displayed a very polished mid-range game. He needs to continue to improve attacking with his right hand (very left-hand dominant), but with his physical growth and the growth in his game, he’s probably garnered himself some D1 interest this weekend." Milling has played for Gamepoint, a Southern California-based AAU team, the last two years.

Nevada has not confirmed the addition. Here are highlights of Milling in action.
