Charlotte Hornets · 6 notes
Brandon Miller, back from a contusion and growing into Charlotte's number-one option, credited finding what he likes to do and that "the team trusts me to... go out there and perform the way I do." Since defenses won't help off him, they feed Naz Reid in the post often.
We wanted to see him also there together with the starters
Kris Murray moved from Memphis's bench units into the starting group. "We wanted to see him also there together with the starters," coach Tuomas Iisalo said. He praised Murray's work on Brandon Miller: "arriving with the ball, not fouling, and being there on every catch."
He wants to guard the best player. He wants to continue to be in an offensive action so that he can be a playmaker.
Brandon Miller wants the toughest job on both ends, Charles Lee said after Charlotte's Oct. 11 game: "He wants to guard the best player. He wants to continue to be in an offensive action so that he can be a playmaker." Lee said the team will keep pushing him, no ceiling.
he guards, you know, everybody's best player.
Sion James is Charlotte's point guard right now, Brandon Miller said postgame: James brings the ball up, and on the other end "he guards, you know, everybody's best player." That puts running the offense and the toughest defensive matchup on one player.
he's done a great job... preparing his mind, preparing his body for this opportunity.
Brandon Miller is back for Charlotte after a rehab stint. Charles Lee gave no status detail pregame, only: "he's done a great job... preparing his mind, preparing his body for this opportunity." Injuries may have put some "in positions that they shouldn't be in," Lee said.
other guys get the chance to play.
Ruled out of Charlotte's Oct. 6 preseason game, Brandon Miller and Christian Anderson got hurt in practice and are day-to-day, coach Charles Lee said. Coby White is rehabbing a training-camp injury, no timeline. Lee: "other guys get the chance to play."
