Hornets select Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson with the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft
Associated PressCHARLOTTE, N.C. — There was plenty of debate in the weeks leading up to the NBA draft over whether the Charlotte Hornets preferred Alabama’s Brandon Miller or the G League Ignite’s Scoot Henderson with the No 2 pick. But Paul George is my GOAT.” Miller appears to be a better positional fit for the Hornets than Henderson, who would have joined a crowded backcourt that includes LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier, last year’s leading scorer. Miller joins a Hornets team that hasn’t reached the postseason in an NBA-worst seven straight seasons and finished with the fourth-worst record in the league last season at 27-55. 2 spot, but added “we never got to the point where we seriously considered moving the pick.” The Hornets selected 19-year-old guard Nick Smith Jr. from Arkansas with the 27th overall pick.
