After a rough start, No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller finally had a breakout performance in summer league play.
The 6-foot-9 forward scored 26 points as the Charlotte Hornets lost 97-93 to the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday in Las Vegas. He made 8 of 15 field goals and 7 of 7 free throws.
“I kind of let the game come to me,” Miller said. “I feel like I was put in the right places to get off comfortable shots.”
Miller was a first-team Associated Press All-American as a freshman at Alabama last season.
