Brandon Miller’s next leap hinges on this one crucial flaw

Brandon Miller is a legitimate two-way presence with real scoring ability and underrated playmaking feel. His trajectory is trending upward, and staying healthy should only accelerate that growth. But even with all the promise, one flaw continues to hold him back: his tendency to lean too heavily on the three-point shot.

The Charlotte Hornets star's season has already taken a few dramatic turns. He opened the year with a smooth 25-point outing in a thrilling win over the Brooklyn Nets, only to suffer a left shoulder subluxation that sidelined him for nearly a month. When he finally returned in late November with an enormous shoulder wrap, there were understandable questions about how quickly he’d find his rhythm again.
