Brandon Miller finally returned to the court on Saturday after missing 13 contests due to a shoulder injury. Unfortunately, the Charlotte Hornets lost against the LA Clippers, who were buoyed by James Harden's 55-point explosion. It has become clear that wing defense will remain a persistent problem for the Hornets when their starting lineup lacks an elite perimeter stopper.
During Miller's absence, Sion James took Miller's starting spot. And while the rookie has fallen back to Earth on offense after a torrid start to the season, his ability to cover the opponents' best guard or wing has already impressed a lot of people.
