BREAKING | Brandon Miller's First Interview as a Charlotte Hornet

The newest member of the Hornets spoke to the media following being picked 2nd overall

On his feelings following his second workout with Charlotte…

“It was definitely a great feeling. I feel like Mike (Jordan) and LaMelo (Ball) made me feel like I was at home, so it just kind of played a part of just getting drafted to there.”

On his reaction to being drafted second overall…

“I found out literally when they were calling my name. I was still on the phone. I think my reaction was just a lot of excitement, smiles, hugs and handshakes. I knew my mom was going to cry. She was going to shed a tear, but there’s nothing wrong with crying. I think it happens to the best. I think it’s just us living slow and taking a moment while we can.”

On his basketball GOAT…

“I think I’ve made it clear these past few days that Paul George is my GOAT (greatest of all time). The GOAT of basketball is LeBron (James). Paul George is still my GOAT of basketball. Mike is definitely up there in his prime. I feel like now he’s a lot older – nah, I’m just playing. Definitely Mike is a GOAT of basketball because he does everything – we wear his shoes, he jumps from the free-throw line. But like I’ve said before, Paul George is my GOAT.”

On wear he fits in with the Hornets…

“Definitely at 3. You have LaMelo Ball’s playmaking. I think him being a playmaker and me being a shotmaker, I think that kind of fits well. Not just that, but how we take pride on the defensive side, we can really lock in and get the stops we need to win ball games.”

On the transition to the NBA…

“I know there’s going to be a lot of learning in that first practice. I think getting stronger is probably the biggest thing with me. Just getting stronger and getting better every day.”
