Miller holding his own against the best of the best. Defending Embiid because Duren took forever to get down the court.

So is he taking a break from team usa to play SL? I'd rather him just stay there. Dunno what team uses schedule is.

They say Flagg was the best player on the select team. Miller was on the sidelines during the end of the scrimmage.

Yeah, Flagg looks/sounds real deal.

The media loves to hype the next big star. All the clips I saw of Miller showed him playing excellent basketball (on both ends). But the media gets caught up in their own hype machine and can only talk about Cooper Flagg.

From what I watched I would hate playing with Podz or Jaquez, guys seem like extreme ball hogs

Miller really needs to get stronger. That's the thing that jumped out to me from the scrimmage stuff I watched. A maestro pull up jump shot maker, with awesome off ball work and a pure stroke, but he still looks weak in the lane, on both ends of the floor.

Speaking of that I saw online that we had hired a director of athletic performance. I don't know exactly what they do, but that sounds like a PED guy to me.

It's easy to see why Woj and a lot of other people around the league really like Miller.

Honestly I got a little giddy when Woj touted Miller has a future all NBA wing one he was in commentary
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Seen Miller with Paul George at his party on IG. I'm assuming they are working out together in Vegas as they said they would this off-season.

Brandon Miller #4 behind Wemby Chet Amen on ESPN+ Top 10 Most Interesting Sophomores:
Miller has the size and shot-creation ability to establish himself as one of the league's better young wings, and potentially a star, although there's plenty of growth ahead. He'll need to focus on his shot selection and ability to score in the paint and finish through contact, which has been an area for improvement for him the past couple of years. Charlotte would also like to see him continue growing as a playmaker. There's All-Star level ability here long-term, assuming his steady progression continues.

Ranking him behind Wemby, sure. Behind Chet…I get it. But behind Amen Thompson (who they had #2 most interesting)? That’s a load of crap IMO. I know the positioning is an innocuous value, but come on people…Amen shot 13% from 3. He’s a talent and a good defender for sure, but Miller is a much more intriguing player. Having said that, man is Houston LOADED with talent.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Miller will be a top 10 player sooner than later you can quote me on that.

Define "interesting" for us ESPN

I'd agree amen is more "interesting" a player, but doesn't make him a better prospect or player.
