Dude needs to play with a bunch of pads.

Give him the Carmelo equipment 2 padded arm sleeves, 2 padded leg sleeves.

We should have Lamelo and Brandon play in those inflatable Sumo suits.

Doesn't seem like it's that serious

I had high expectations for this kid. Not sure if it was the wrist surgery, but something doesn't seem right.

Another awful shooting game 5-19.

That wrist injury is a big deal. Miller never had a problem shooting coming out of college. His shot has totally disappeared.

His shot has been sporadic since entering the league. I think he will be fine. Basically had all last year off being hurt and now is playing with his awkward ass thing on his left shoulder.

He really looks terrible doesn’t he. I don’t even mean the shooting, he just looks bad at basketball.

He is just a horrific playmaker. His passing is not good at all. He doesn’t read the defense and then has no touch on his passes. It’s like he has zero chemistry with guys out there.

Colour me concerned.

I can give him the benifit of the doubt for the rest of the season. If he goes the entire year at this rate. Move him. The only untouchable on this team is Kon and maybe Kalk.

I miss rookie Brandon Miller.

Dude seems to be getting worse at basketball. Might be the injuries. He's definitely on the trade list if we can get a clear upgrade.

Thought he looked good in his one healthy game to start the season and looked promising enough in his limited sophomore year.

His recent play has been discouraging. You can really tell he is trying to get back into pre wrist injury form but it looks really forced a lot of the times.

He is recovering from a really bad injury; im gonna give him till all-star break to get back into form before hitting the panic button.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

He is the king of the million dollar move, 10 cent finish right now. He gets to his spots and creates separation, but the shots are just not falling right now. His strength and footwork have improved a lot, but tough shots aren't really a great diet to live on.

Would help if our offense produced any easy buckets other than spot up threes, but it simply doesn't. It is all self-created bull where you have to beat your defender 1 on 1 the entire game. When is the last time you saw a Hornet player back cut and get an open layup?

LaMelo, Bridges, Miller, Mann are all shooting terrible from the field. The only guys in our offense who get open shots are the Centers and kick out threes.

I think Brandon is suffering a bit from the injury still but clearly they need a point guard who creates good shots for others with drive and dishes. It's a huge issue for these guys.

I’d honestly rather he get surgery on it to be honest…

I mean... isn't this the opposite of LaMelo struggling to wear ankle braces under recommendation? If the brace's restrictive properties keep him from over extending his shoulder and he isn't playing against sound medical advice, he needs experience.

This is year 3 for Brandon Miller, crazy how time flies by when your busy going 20-60 every year.

This summer will be the potential extension talks with his class of Wemby, Amen, Ausar, Scoot, Brandon, Black, Bilal, Lively etc...

Wemby will get the max. Amen might get the max. Which will be around 48 million to start.

Ausar and Brandon are probably in that 25-30 million range.

No idea where Scoot, Black, Lively, Bilal will fall.

Miller has been a disappointment for me. I was once his biggest fan, he gave me hope for this franchise his rookie season. It seems like he hasn't gotten better at anything and is constantly in street clothes.

I'm not sure what we will do. I just know he's not worth the max.

More like crazy how time flies when you miss 70% of a season.
