Rookie Brandon Miller’s Debuts and Struggles: Evaluating Michael Jordan’s Drafting Legacy

2023-07-04 07:21:19

With the start of the Summer League today, rookies are also “unboxing”. Hornets No. 2 Brandon Miller ushered in his first professional game in the California Classic today. Although he scored 18 points in the entire game, he had 6 turnovers and 7 fouls (the summer league limit is 10 fouls per game). Not ideal. Especially in the first half alone, there were as many as 6 fouls, and the sour people once once more teased the basketball god Michael Jordan (Michael Jordan) for his selection vision.

Miller, a forward from the University of Alabama, is considered by the Hornets to be a future core who can pair well with LaMelo Ball, who has just signed a designated rookie extension. At the same time, although the former boss Jordan announced before the draft that he would sell his shares in the Hornets, the outside world still believes that the second pick in this draft will be the last decision Jordan made during his tenure. Therefore, Miller can also be regarded as Jordan’s “last dance” in the draft.

And in the first game in the Hornets jersey, Miller started with hands and feet tied. In the first half, he only scored 5 points on 1 of 5 shots. In addition, he made 3 turnovers and 6 fouls, obviously not passing the mark. In view of Jordan’s failures in the selection experience and disappointing business decisions in the past, the acid people on the Internet also mercilessly commented on “parallel imports”, “playing bad enough”, “should choose Scoot Henderson “, “Go to Shanghai Shark next year”.

But at the same time, some people think it’s too early to say, saying “it’s just that the reaction in the first half doesn’t need to be so big” and “look forward to coming back next year to see these sour words being slapped in the face.” But the doubts and ridicule of the fans are not groundless. After all, the Hornets have only played in the playoffs twice in the 13 years of the “Jordan era”, and have never ranked higher than ninth in the past six seasons. In addition to the poor record, the draft performance during this period was not satisfactory. He won the lottery several times, but only Ball Jr. and Kemba Walker (Kemba Walker) were selected for the All-Star Game.
