BrandHIM Miller: The Brandon Miller Thread

[wilson115]

This is a big part I didn't understand the anti-Ace takes, which team in the NBA is against having two 6-8 wings that can shoot, defend and score.

You mean like the ones we drafted #2 and #6 two years straight? Begs the question if you aren't trying to oversimplify things for your agenda.

I can't even tell what this sentence is trying to say

Explains a lot.

Guess we will never know what you were trying to say.

Apparently the NBA website updated a bunch of players heights from the Hornets on their website and Miller's has been changed from 6'7" to... wait for it... 6'6"... LaMelo was increased to 6'7".

Ive been adament that I didn't think Miller was literally 6'10" like a lot of you have been saying, but I always thought 6'7" seemed a bit short for him and I didn't really buy it. No way I am buying he is 6'6" and shorter than both LaMelo and Miles.

What the hell is going on with this?

I think he is at least 6'9" this year. Still too lanky but he taller. Not quite but close to Durants size and similar build.

[JustBuzzin]

6'10 stop asking

I hope this turns out to be something really minor, as injuring yourself this easily is a red flag for me

mentally preparing for lengthy miller shoulder injury

[Bassman]

How the heck do you displace or damage your shoulder badly on that movement as a 23 year old? I’m starting to wonder if Brandon has a body that struggles with stress on tendons and other connective tissues?

[JDR720]

Hopefully its nothing major. From that clip, if it is, then Brandon must be made of glass. That same type of play happens dozens of times a game.

[EmpireFalls]

Miller rapidly overtaking LaMelo as our most fragile player. I mean you can’t be serious with this ****

[KingCat]

Yeah Miller is one of my favorite players and I think be could be a huge difference maker for us, but we gotta consider his long term future with all these injuries.

To me this feels different than Melo. With Melo I get the sense that a ton of games he missed was cause we were looking to tank. For Miller this is back to back seasons where he goes down with in the first two games. Maybe its my bias with Melo showing since he gives us a massive market boost but man im super concerned over Miller.

IMO better to wait and see how serious the injury is before we jump to conclusions about what this injury means.

i get what you're saying YB, but it puts him off the untouchable ledge for me. If there is a someone we really want and they insisted on Miller I would consider it. I wouldn't shop him, that kills value but I wouldn't hang up if a good offer came in.

i know it might be a knee jerk reaction, but trying to think how these GM's must have to be successful. you're investing 100s of millions $ into players of Millers caliber and the teams success relies greatly upon the reliability of your max players.
So when i start seeing concerns while still on their rookie contracts, if you can swap him for a safer bet (very unlikely I know) I would consider it.

hopefully its bugger all, they are just being cautious and he plays 70 games this year

As the biggest Miller fanboy on the board so they say...

I said before the season if Kon proves to be legit, which is looking like it so far I wouldn't rule out trading Miller if it meant getting back a real difference maker.

Saying that I don't think a difference maker will become available that would realistically want to play here.

Giannis comes to mind, but there is no indication he would want to play in Charlotte.
