As much as the Charlotte Hornets struggled for much of the 2024-25 season, finishing with a dreadful 19-63 record, there is reason to be hopeful considering that they at least have the makings of a good, ascending young core. Brandon Miller, in particular, made plenty of strides last season, averaging 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per contest before a wrist injury he sustained back in January cut his sophomore season short.
Miller only played in 27 games last season as a result of not only his season-ending wrist injury that required surgery, but also because of the minor knocks he picked up here and there throughout the season.
