By the third day of training camp, the Charlotte Hornets knew they had someone special.
Every time Brandon Miller received instruction from his coaching staff, it seemed to sink in for their standout rookie. The more they watched him, the more it became clear what the reigning SEC player of the year was bringing.
Miller didn’t need to be told anything multiple times, and his ability to learn has impressed head coach Steve Clifford and the team throughout the season. He was a solid defender in college at Alabama, along with consistently knocking down shots for one of the nation’s top offenses.
