Hornets GM Mitch Kupchak fumbles over words when asked why team took Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson

It's safe to say a large portion of Charlotte Hornets fans wanted the team to take Scoot Henderson in the 2023 NBA Draft. The team saw things a different way. With the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, Charlotte selected Brandon Miller. Fans, and even the team's mascot, appeared dismayed by the pick.

Surely, the team had a good explanation for going with Miller, right? Right!?!?
