Despite all the protestations from much of the team’s fan base, the Charlotte Hornets stuck with what was being reported all along and selected Brandon Miller with the second overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Miller doesn’t have the explosive highlight reel and quotable interviews that Scoot Henderson does, but he’s still a really, really good basketball player. In his lone season at Alabama, he was SEC Rookie of the Year, SEC Player of the Year, first team All SEC, and SEC tournament MVP. He was a second team All American, the only lowerclassmen to make either of the two NCAA All American teams.
