If the Hornets are going to surprise people and make it into the playoffs, Brandon Miller making a jump in his second season is a vital part of how that happens.
It sure looks like he’s ready to make a jump — this is the best dunk of NBA opening week (so far).
Miller had six points in 11 minutes of game action but was seen spending his time out of the game in the tunnel doing stretches. In the end, he had to pull out of the game with a sore left hip, the team announced.

Hopefully this turns out to be minor and doesn’t hold him back for future games – both because that’s bad for the Hornets and because he’s a dynamic player and a joy to watch.
