The Charlotte Hornets drafted Brandon Miller with the second overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and so far, he's proven former GM Mitch Kupchak right as the selection over Scoot Henderson.
Last season, however, was a lost year for Miller, playing in just 27 games before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury, which required surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament.
The injury is a concern, but perhaps the bigger worry is if he is healthy and doesn't take that leap to stardom, as everyone expects. Earlier this week, noted NBA insider Zach Lowe gave a brutally honest opinion on what happens if Miller doesn't pan out.
