2023 Charlotte Hornets Summer League

[MillionDollarCam]

Our staff would have ruined Wemby. Now they’ll get to ruin Brandon Miller instead.

Please tell me these Summer League coaches have nothing to do with the Main Charlotte Hornets team.

Let’s see what Brandon Miller has in store for us today.

Lmao

This is the most boneheaded group I’ve watched in a long time. No set plays, no instincts and lack of passing. I don’t think we see anything from Miller until he gets to the regular squad.

We can argue about these players. But this coaching staff is just comically awful. They don't belong in any ranks not even junior high.

[WUnderhill]

I really don’t understand why Nnaji hasn’t gotten more minutes as the only big on the roster.

I don’t keep up super closely with the other teams, but I’d be shocked if we weren’t the worst coached team in the league.

[LordOfDaWingz]

And I’m not understanding why they keep chucking up 40 3’s a game when shooting is not their strength. 
 

I really dislike what this franchise has been over the last decade. We can’t even get a proper evaluation of players in summer league bc coaching is awful.

We are the worst and no it isn't close. It's to the point where I'm actually feeling guilty for being so hard on James Borrego.

Miller has looked better than Wemby so far...

He’s also played four games to Wemby’s one and he hasn’t looked anything but average to below average.

I’m one of the few that wanted Miller but some of the concerns I had about him are already rearing their head.

They just showed the top 5 scoring games in Summer League history and none of the 5 players were all stars. I think all of them were role players or journeymen.

 

Im not worried about Miller he will be fine when he plays with legit players who can actually play the game of basketball.

One thing the broadcast pointed out was that Steph and I believe they said KD, both struggled in their first taste of summer league action.

It’s difficult because us humans are impatient creatures but in reality nothing that anyone does this week will have any bearing on where they are five years from now.

I certainly wish Miller was dropping 20 point games on 50% shooting but he’s not a finished product.

So far not impressed. Watched a bit of the Lakers game today and we look lethargic. Lakers got some easy transition baskets and dunks. We seemed to have no teamwork or grit. That's bad.  Can't be a finesse team that is sloppy. Or a bad shooting team that can't grind. Right now I see a sloppy, bad shooting team that doesn't hustle for rebounds or play defense very well. I know it's summer league.  I see the logo on the court but we are lacking point blank. This summer league is a showcase for our developing players and recent draft picks and I'm not impressed.

Yeah im not even worried about Miller making shots. That will come.

 

His shot creation is his weakness right now. But even watching him with the ball you can see he can develop that over time. His handles looked way better than I thought. It's just a matter of him being more confident with his movement. He seems weaker in his lower body. He needs to build up his leg strength maybe that will help with his first step burst.

 

 

I'm worried enough for the both of us.   I do think Miller can develop but it really depends on him. The coaching staff is not going to make it happen. He will get the minutes and play with our starters and honestly they are gonna have to carry him for awhile.
