National pundits still aren't high on the Charlotte Hornets, despite some awesome offseason work by the front office. What else is new? The latest big-name analyst to give their two cents on the Hornets' situation is insider Zach Lowe, who says that Charlotte won't have a chance of being relevant unless Brandon Miller becomes an All-Star.
"This is going nowhere, I'm talking nowhere for the next five years, nowhere interesting, nowhere close to interesting, interesting you can't even see with a telescope. This is going nowhere if Brandon Miller isn't an All-Star," Lowe said.
Now, let's clarify that he's likely talking about Miller consistently playing at the level of an All-Star, not simply being named to the All-Star team in a particular season.
