2023 Charlotte Hornets Summer League


Recommended Posts

Thing about Brandon Miller too is he doesn’t just shoot a high 3P percentage, dude has RANGE.  Like he takes and makes threes easily from 3-5 feet behind the 3P line.

Watch his form.  He shoots quick and from eye level like Steph, but is 6’9.  And he plays D at multiple positions.  

That’s the new NBA, IMO.

He looked like ass early on but surprised me down the stretch. He is pretty smooth with the ball. I'm coming around to him. I don't know who coaches for the Summer League but they need to be fired. 1st half looked like a pick up game at the local gym

He can play shooting guard no question. Just needs to bulk up a bit.

We need to put him there and we would have one of the tallest backcourts in the league. My main question is can he lock down other SGs? I think he can play good defense against SFs, but SGs seem like a pain the guard.

I bet ya Scoot dominates in his debut.  25 points and looks like he belongs.  We will see Friday.  That said now that Miller is a hornet, I hope he will develop but.  As my last hurray as a scoot train guy I'm gonna take the over on scoot scoring more than Miller in summer league debut.

I wouldn’t look too much into it. Scoot is going to be the PG so he will get way more touches. Miller’s PGs weren’t a fan of passing.

I've been on the Scoot train but Miller really did surprise me in his summer league debut. He was pretty awful in the first quarter but quickly turned it around. He is surprisingly very smooth with the ball and he can play defense. As much as I wanted Scoot, Miller probably is the better choice since we already have Lamelo. 

Don't think he will score more than 18. I guess it depends where they play him though.

I'm not worried about Miller after one summer league game. The talent is there. But looking at some of the other  performances the Hornets clearly still have a knack for putting players on the court that look like they don't even belong in the sport.

    • Hey if they could beat Seattle… tiebreaker head to head over GB, LARms, Seattle… win out the record is 11-6.  Now rap my knuckles for suggesting we win out, but that would be some funny poo. Talk about sneaking up on people. 
    • I expected 6 wins this season. I need to see the Panthers blow by that now that they exceeded it by 1. I like how Canales has schemed around the weaknesses on offense in the passing game. I am impressed with the receivers, run blocking, running back combo and secondary communication in zone. Defense and QB need more consistency. The improvement of the defensive play calling and critical 3rd down and 4Q passing when trailing is going to be what I am looking for going into the playoffs. If the Panthers can consistently regain the lead after trailing over the next 4 games, I can see them competing in the playoffs and worth a reevaluation of the last 2 seasons' weaknesses. This is the prove it or lose it moment in their Panthers careers for Young and Evero. No excuses.
    • He's on the smaller size for a center (5'8" 175lbs) and he is a bit of a liability in the faceoff circle. But, he's a proven 60 pt player with room to grow. I'd still rather go get TT from Buffalo. Rossi would be a great consolation prize, though.
