He is the reason you want to watch Charlotte play - Tim Legler
"Where he is excelling, his triple threat, pivot work reminds me so much of Tatum" - Tim Legler
"I talked to some people in the Hornets organisation, what's this guy like? Here's some words thrown around; Smart, great IQ, competitor, coachable, great teammate, detail orientated... DETAIL ORIENTATED, As a rookie!? Come on man, buy this guy's stock. Physically he has it, skill wise he has it, if you have it in the mindset then... He's going to be an All-Star, All-NBA player for years, that's how good Brandon Miller can be." - JJ Redick
"The main two areas of improvement are his ability to create off a ball screen to a pull up three or get into the lane. He's starting to develop these one footed floaters, 8-12 ft, these running shots are going in at a high rate. The other incremental improvement he's shown here lately, earlier in the year he was at 54% finishing inside of 5 ft on all field goal attempts which is a low number for a wing with size. That's up now in the low 60% range over the last 15 games, that's a significant jump in that period of time." - Tim Legler
"They made the right pick, this guy is legit" - Tim Legler
"You used the Tatum comp, which I like. Coming out he said Paul George is my GOAT. The other guy I see is Brandon Ingram. The reason I say Ingram, his ability getting to the mid-range getting to his left, getting to his right, he has a little bit of that Brandon Ingram 'Tilt'." - JJ Redick
"Shooting threes off the dribble is to me, the thing that unleashes every elite offensive player on the perimeter. He had a step back three against the Lakers that totally shook Austin Reeves." - JJ Redick
"If you're going to comp Tatum, George, you have to be disruptive on the defensive end. He had a chase down block that was f***ing insane." - JJ Redick
