The second choice in the NBA Draft on Thursday night sent Brandon Miller to the Charlotte Hornets, tying the former Alabama forward to a franchise that posted a 27-55 record last season, hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2016 and most recently won a playoff series in 2002.
When asked at his post-pick press conference at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, what he thought he brought to his new team, Miller used a word that has been lacking in Charlotte.
“I can say for me, I can bring just a winner,” Miller said.
