Knox Mills: Hamilton's Perimeter Production Sets Up a Senior-Year Opportunity
Knox Mills gives Hamilton's next season an established perimeter contribution to build around. The August 2026 update to Prep Hoops' Ohio Class of 2027 list identifies Mills as a Hamilton shooting guard. His previous varsity production is recorded in the GMC's 2025–26 all-games scoring snapshot: 213 points across 23 games, including 53 made threes.
The production behind the outlook
Those threes accounted for 159 points in that sample, a significant portion of his total scoring. He converted 35.1 percent of 151 attempts beyond the arc. That combination of volume and makes is a useful reason to follow Mills' senior season. It shows a sustained part of Hamilton's offense rather than relying on the memory of one hot shooting night. It does not establish every aspect of his game, but it makes the perimeter role clear enough to ask better questions about what comes next.
What to watch in 2026–27
The interesting possessions may be the ones when an opponent refuses him a comfortable catch. Watch how Hamilton keeps him involved, whether a closeout produces a useful next pass, and how his spacing interacts with Jordon Johnson-Perdomo's guard play. Those are coming-season questions, not guarantees about an unchanged starting lineup. Mills already has a recorded season of meaningful outside scoring and a current Class of 2027 listing. If that experience develops into a more consistent all-around contribution, it can matter well beyond the number of threes printed in a box score.
