C.J. went to Skyline High School for Architecture in Dallas, where he played basketball for the high school team and was one of the standouts in his class. He led the team to Class 5A Region II quarterfinals in his senior year, which earned him All-Dallas Area Player of the Year, named by The Dallas Morning News, and was also named as a 2005 McDonald’s High School All-American.
Following his high school matriculation, C.J. enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin, and upon enrollment said that he would play for the University team if he wasn’t selected in the first round of the 2005 NBA Draft. He was eventually picked by the Utah Jazz as the 34th overall pick but still decided to enter NBA after the Jazz front office offered him a two-year guaranteed contract, which is similar to contracts given to picks of the late first round. At just 18 years old, C.J. became the youngest player in the history of the franchise.
However, he was sent to the NBA D- League to play for the Albuquerque Thunderbirds as there wasn’t place in the Jazz squad, and he was needed playing experience. He was retracted to the first team for the 2006-2007 season, but after 21 games and just 8.8 minutes on the floor per game, Miles was again sent to NBA D- League, this time to the Idaho Stampede. He remained in Utah until 2011-2012 season but didn’t have much success with the franchise except scoring a career-high 40 points on the 16th March 2011 in a match against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
After his contract expired, C.J. signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers, for which he played for two years, before signing a contract with the Indiana Pacers in July 2014, worth $18 million over four years, which increased his net worth to a large degree. He played his best basketball while in Indiana, averaging 13.5 points per game during the 2014-2015 season, during which he played in 70 games, 40 of which were starts.
He remained in Indiana until the end of 2016-2017 season, but has most recently signed a contract with the Toronto Raptors, worth $25 million over three years, which added a significant amount to his net worth. In his first game for the Raptors, Miles went for 22 points, helping his team win against the Chicago Bulls.
When it comes to his personal life, Miles has been married to Lauren Smith since 2016.
