We suck but awesome game by these two despite the loss. They are both 3-level scorers in this league and displayed it tonight with their shotmaking. It's unfortunate that Clifford isn't that good of a coach but I think these two + a top 5 pick next year can be the start of a promising young core.

LaMelo has also been on a tear lately, scoring 25+ points in his last seven games. It's good to see him score like this after a dubious start to the season.

Miller seems to be picking up where he left off before getting hurt earlier this season and should be the starting 2 guard for the Hornets for the rest of the season.

A backcourt of LaMelo and Miller is extremely intriguing due to their unique positional size (LaMelo at 6'7" and Miller at 6'9").

KOC looking silly with the scoot over miller take

[–] SportsMasochist@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

LaMelo has looked great in both games against the knicks so far this year. Could easily be heading back to the all star game this season

[–] Wasabi_Guacamole@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

can't get to the all star game if we're not better than 8th seed in January tbh.

it is what it is, team performance is always included even in personal achievements, even if Lamelo is carrying this team on his back most nights :(

damn Hornets really regretting that pick

[–] BetweenTheBuzzAndMe@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

regret it about as much as LaMelo over Malachi Flynn

“But Scoot better and Brandon Miller is a bum” 🤡

[–] spidersilva09@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm gonna enjoy the Miller vs Scoot debate. Glad to see Miller popping off already hope he can keep it up

[–] johnsom3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Theres not a debate lol.

[–] b5dass@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Build the team around LaMelo, Miller and Mark Williams, everyone else is on buns

[–] LinuxDootTP@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

i hope miller burns every single mf out there who said he was a guaranteed bust

[–] JetsLag@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They both looked super legit. Cornerstones of a future playoff team?

[–] Spinner064@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I will never watch a hornets game as long as miller and brodges are on the roster #takethatfordata

[–] nojeanshere@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

PJ and Gordon are basketball Al Queda

[–] Beplex@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Gordon Psych-ward

[–] Acrobatic-Reaction-7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Miller’s not a guard

[–] Titanstheory@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I know plus and minus doesn’t mean much without context. But PJ was minus 25 in a game we lost by 14

[–] gustriandos@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

thats actually their current backcourt

[–] BoisterousBrigand@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Miller is gonna be really fucking good man, he's a dog too.

[–] Nweber15@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Pretty impressive stats, and good shooting percentages as well. That's going to be one hell of a backcourt if miller plays the 2

[–] Street-Common-4023@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Honestly just rebuild around them. Gotta fix your bench tbh
