Jarace Walker, who has a little Draymond Green in his game, “might be my third favorite player in this draft after Wembanyama and Brandon Miller,” writes @coachthorpe. He says the Rockets made a mistake: Walker would have been 🔥 next to Jabari Smith, Jr. truehoop.com/p/david-thorpe… – 4:20 PM

Ousmane Dieng just turned 20 this summer.
He’s younger than Top 5 picks Brandon Miller and Amen & Ausar Thompson.
Ous has been one of the highlights for OKC in Summer League and is too-often forgotten about in this young OKC core. – 9:46 PM

Before Tuesday night, Charlotte Hornets rookie Brandon Miller had more fouls than buckets. Even in his breakout game, Miller deferred to Nick Smith Jr. late in a losing effort.
Miller is content to let the game come to him, though.

Brandon Miller tonight:
26 points
2 assists
5/9 from 2
3/6 from 3
7/7 free throws
Impressive overall performance. Displayed skill off the dribble, shooting versatility, and passing feel.
I expect more games like this playing off LaMelo and the Hornets’ young supporting cast. pic.twitter.com/HgEIiOwQGM – 10:37 PM

Starting to look like Brandon Miller will make the team after all. The Hornets rookie, who has struggled a bit relative to rush to judgement expectations as the second pick of the draft, has 23 for the Hornets late in the third quarter vs. the Blazers. – 9:42 PM

Brandon Miller looking very comfortable tonight. You can also see the chip on his shoulder all over his body language in this game. Digging it. – 9:20 PM

All eyes at the Golden 1 Center were primarily on Charlotte Hornets rookie Brandon Miller during his NBA summer league debut on Monday. There were cheers when the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NBA draft was announced in the starting lineup and even some boos after he missed free throws and had shooting struggles. Through it all, a very proud Darrell Miller sat proudly in Section 119 supporting his son who has been through the highest of highs and lowest of lows in recent months. -via Andscape / July 4, 2023
“What’s my pride level? Yeah. Oh man. What’s the highest number? Is it one through 10? No, I say it’s 11,” Darrell Miller told Andscape during the Hornets’ 98-77 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Said Brandon Miller: “That’s my dad since day one. He is always going to be with me. That is my security/dad. He is always going to be next to me wherever I go.” -via Andscape / July 4, 2023
