It’s already known how commanding a scorer Brandon Miller can be. But this year, he has proven that he can also initiate for others, demonstrating his potential to become an all-around star for the Charlotte Hornets.
As Matt Alquiza of Sports Illustrated noted, Miller appears to have become more adept at finding his teammates for better scoring opportunities. His assist rate this season is 18.0 percent so far, putting him in the 89th percentile among wing players. It’s worth noting that Basketball-Reference pegs his number a bit higher at 18.5 percent.
Miller is still a long way away from turning into the playmaker the Hornets probably hope he will be.
