Charlotte Hornets take Brandon Miller with No. 2 pick in NBA Draft

The Charlotte Hornets have selected Brandon Miller as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.

While the Hornets were reportedly choosing between Miller and Scoot Henderson, the 6-foot-9 small forward from the University of Alabama has officially landed in Charlotte.

Michael Jordan had the final say on the No. 2 selection.

The Hornets announced earlier this week that the NBA great is selling his majority ownership stake in the team, but general manager Mitch Kupchak said he would defer to Jordan for the draft decision in his Wednesday press conference.

Both Miller, 20, and Henderson, 19, were in Charlotte on Monday for a private workout, and Miller reportedly impressed Jordan during his second session with the team.
