The Charlotte Hornets have given Brandon Miller the keys to the proverbial kingdom, but he'll need to overcome a clear hurdle in his path to take over.
Maxwell Ogden of Swarm and Sting argues that Brandon Miller's over-reliance on jump shots remains his primary hurdle to becoming Charlotte's true No. 1 scoring option. The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Brooklyn Nets 110-103 in their 2026-27 season opener. Miller scored 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting during the first half, but went scoreless on 0-of-7 shooting in the second half.
Ogden highlights that Miller's shot selection continues to undermine his efficiency despite his high-level talent. The writer argues that Miller must attack the rim more frequently and find more balanced scoring methods alongside forward Naz Reid rather than settling for tough outside jumpers.
