Brandon Miller has been selected second overall by the Charlotte Hornets, despite Scoot Henderson being tipped as the favourite to follow Victor Wembanyama.
The small forward from Alabama will play alongside LaMelo Ball at the Hornets and create a star offense, and it was under the recommendation of owner and legendary NBA player Michael Jordan. It was initially reported that the Hornets were interested in Henderson, but ESPN stated that after a second private workout on Monday it was determined that Miller was the best fit.
ESPN later added that the Hornets have been 'all-in' on Miller all along. The ownership, front office, scouts, coaches all see him as a future All-Star player and the right fit for the franchise.
