After much speculation, the Hornets took Brandon Miller with the second pick of the draft, pairing the former Alabama forward with LaMelo Ball. Charlotte could have taken guard Scoot Henderson, but seemed to believe that Miller fit better with Ball.
While speaking with the media, Miller gave his thoughts on his new teammate, saying that he and Ball already connected at his workout.
“LaMelo, man, that’s definitely one of the guys. He made me feel like a little brother away from home,” Miller said, via Alex Kennedy. “I feel like we’re always going to be together. Just seeing him at my workout...[it was] a dream come true.”
