Auburn Men’s Basketball adds Georgia Tech transfer Miles Kelly to their roster.

Last season the 6-foot-6, 180-pound guard was named an All-Atlantic Coast Conference honorable mention player and was the team’s leading scorer averaging 13.9 points per game.  Kelly was also second in rebounding (5.5 rpg) and reached double figures in 24 contests including a career-high 36 points at Louisville and 25 points at Miami (Fla.).

“Miles brings great experience, talent and ability to our back court,” head coach Bruce Pearl said. “He is a tremendous 3-point shooter, an elite defender, has great versatility and wants to win championships. Miles is our 12th player on scholarship and completes our roster. He is an outstanding student and will do a wonderful job in our locker room.”

During Kelly’s three seasons at Georgia Tech he competed in 95 games and started in 60 games. Kelly averaged 11.1 points per game, while connecting on 35 percent of his 3-point shots and 78.6 percent of his free throws. Over the past season Kelly was able to reach the 1,000 career point milestone against Clemson.  His 184 career 3-pointers ranks ninth most in program history.
