These back and forths must have some people in awesome physical shape.

Why bait him? You know what goes around....

baiting Is exactly what he's doing here and he knows exactly what he's doing.
jmac... You really need change your posting behavior so that you are not constantly trying to take digs beneath the surface of your posts. We all know what you're trying to do when you do it. just because It's subtle Doesn't mean it's not intended.
Repeated baiting is in fact against TOS. We've been very lenient to this point.
- thanks

Guys I didn't take him serious. No need to cause a war. I thought it was funny which is why I posted the smiling emoji.

I will give Charles Lee credit, he is back to letting Brandon Miller play his game of hunting midrange shots.

Rookie Brandon
14% of shots at the rim.
40% of shots from midrange.
46% of shots from three.

yr 2 Brandon
11% of shots at the rim.
29% of shots from midrange.
60% of shots from three.

Yr 3 Brandon
13% of shots at the rim.
40% of shots from midrange.
47% of shots from three.

Brandon Miller is taking a step into being a legit 2 way wing this year.
2nd best BL% among wings behind on Derrick White.
1 of 6 non-centers averaging 1+ block/1+ steal a game (Scottie Barnes, Miller, White, Wiggins, Peyton Watson, PJ Washington)

81% Off EPM- 4th best on Hornets
84% Def EPM- 1st on Hornets
87% Overall EPM- ranks 60th best in the league right now.- 2nd on Hornets

Yeah, his defense has been improving. At this point my only active critique would be some maturity stuff, he picks up some real dumb fouls sometimes just being overly physical and also still needs to work on his passing. I like him being physical, but he just needs to be more strategic in how he does it so he doesn't turn it over or pick up needless fouls.

Very promising and seems like he has lots of untapped potential.

yeah there will be some growing pains, Miller's played 125 career games, the equivalent of 1.5 seasons, and this is really the first time our season isn't completely over by the midway point.

With the arm injury wiping out his whole offseason, I don't think we expected a giant leap, and little things here and there like his incremental improvements on D and more varied shot selection are all we could really hope for.

Not gonna lie I was getting worried earlier in the season. Good to see it was just rust and he's starting to look like his old self.

Also im not sure if he's 100% he's wearing that shoulder wrap all season. Maybe it fully heals in the off-season.

Maybe setting expectations too high, but I think he will have a monsterous 26-27 season and establish himself as our 1A franchise guy.

He didnt have an off-season this year due to the wrist injury. It is often said that Brandon has a good work ethic and picks things up quick. Finally having a whole summer to work on his game is gonna do wonders for him.

He already is our franchise 1A guy in my eyes. Needs to stay healthy into the offseason. Sky is the limit for him next year.

Nah I think if everyone healthy and playing their best LaMelo is the best player on the team.

Miller and Kon is a toss up, but I give the edge to Kon because he's much more efficient.

I think Lamelo is the most talented, but I don’t think he’s the best basketball player on the team currently. He can get there though. That’s all for a different debate for a different day though.

Regardless of who is the best its great that the three have such a diverse skill set amongst them. Makes them very complimentary on the court.

Miller has been Mr. Consistent over this stretch. If he continues to play like this, and the team can learn to execute better in the clutch we will really have something with this group of guys.

And that's not even taking into account the excess picks Peterson has accumulated to go out and get a real difference maker in the frontcourt.
