How Brandon Miller Proved Everyone Wrong

Спорт

Brandon Miller is proving all the doubters wrong. After the Charlotte Hornets selected Brandon Miller with the #2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, many were quick to criticize the decision due to his perceived lack of upside relative to a player like Scoot Henderson. But lately, it's looking like Brandon Miller might've just been the perfect guy for the Charlotte Hornets to pick.
Brandon Miller has been torching the NBA, having one of the best streaks of any rookie so far this season, and it doesn't look like it's stopping any time soon. The 21-year-old out of Alabama is looking like a Paul George type of player, and there's no shortage of upside. With LaMelo Ball continuing to look like a franchise player, these two could be a scary duo for years to come.

    It's easy for a lot of non-Hornets fans like myself to root for the guy, as he's on track to become one of their franchise greats. I really hope he stays and they actually build around him, Melo, and Mark to become competitive. Do a Front Office overhaul like Sac and DC

    There's no reason Charlotte can't be a perenial small market contender like OKC or Utah if they make the right decisions. NC is a basketball state and the original Hornets had great attendance numbers before the owner raped someone and alienated the entire city. MJ selling the team was certainly a good step. Melo staying healthy is going to be a hurdle tho.

    Miller was passing up open shots and deferring to teammates early in the season as he adjusted to the NBA. Since Charlotte has had some starters out with injuries his usage rate has gone up and he's been ready for it. I don't know how anybody could have watched him at Alabama and doubted that he was at worst going to be a very good NBA player and potentially a long time All Star. He's not just a shooterr, he is a guy you can run the offense through because he can get his own shot and pass the ball. He can also be a good defender on wings and big guards.
