Hornets picked Brandon Miller at No. 2, but could have done better in NBA Draft

Underwhelming.

That’s the word that comes to mind when you look at what the Charlotte Hornets did Thursday night in the NBA Draft.

When you have the No. 2 overall pick, your high side is Alonzo Mourning or Kevin Durant. You’re not always going to get a hall of famer, but you hope you’re going to get someone who not only can play but who has no off-court baggage to speak of and who fans are immediately excited about.

Brandon Miller checks one of those three boxes: He can play. At least at the college level, he was a star.
