New Hornets cornerstone Brandon Miller lets the game come to him. Is that enough?
New York TimesLAS VEGAS – By the fourth quarter of his fifth summer league game, it looked like Brandon Miller was ready to really go for his moment. But it was good to see him like really try to look for his own a little bit and kind of get going.” Miller’s quest to play the right way hasn’t been rewarded with summer league wins yet, and his field goal percentage was an unkind 33.3 percent prior to his Tuesday night breakout. In the Hornets’ summer league game before that, a 98-83 loss to the Golden State Warriors in Sacramento, Miller attempted only four field goals and one free throw in just over 28 minutes of play. “I think as I let the game come to me, I think just more shots came,” Miller said Friday night after Wembanyama’s Spurs beat the Hornets. “The ball kind of found my hands to kind of take shots like that.” One player who can help Miller’s transition to the NBA is fellow Hornets first-round pick and Brad Beal Elite alum Nick Smith Jr., selected 27th overall in last month’s draft out of Arkansas.
