Hornets select Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson with No. 2 pick in NBA draft

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets selected Alabama’s Brandon Miller with the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft, giving them an athletic 6-foot-9 wing with a smooth shooting stroke who can knock down shots from the perimeter.

The Hornets chose Miller, the Southeastern Conference’s player of the year as a freshman, over NBA G League Ignite star Scoot Henderson despite some potential character questions.

Miller is tied to a case that led to former Crimson Tide player Darius Miles and another man being indicted on capital murder charges.
