Miles signed in September 2005, as an undrafted rookie free agent with the NBA's Golden State Warriors for the 2005-06 season, but was released in January 2006, before his contract became guaranteed. He played for the Fort Worth Flyers in the NBA Development League for the remainder of that season. There, he teamed with his Kansas class of 2005 teammate Keith Langford.
