Roots & the rise

A 6-foot-7 scoring wing and co-star — three-level perimeter scoring for the Hornets.

Brandon Miller was born in Nashville, Tennessee and was one of the best freshmen in college basketball at Alabama — SEC Player of the Year, a consensus second-team All-American, and the Wayman Tisdale Award winner — before Charlotte drafted him 2nd in 2023.

He made the 2024 All-Rookie First Team and developed into a lead perimeter scorer averaging around 20 points a game, a two-way wing who models his game on Paul George. A wrist injury cut his 2024-25 season short, but he rebounded to play 65 games in 2025-26 as LaMelo Ball's co-star.

BEYOND THE GAME

Beyond the game

Miller comes from an athletic family — his father played college football at Alabama, and his siblings played college basketball — and became a bona fide star in a single college season, setting an Alabama freshman scoring record. He cites Paul George as his 'GOAT' and models his two-way wing game after him.

His on-court identity is three-level perimeter scoring with size — a 6-foot-7 wing with a consistent three-point stroke (around 37% for his career) and shot creation, paired with defensive potential. His efficiency and durability are the developmental questions, but his scoring, size, and pedigree make him Charlotte's long-term scoring wing alongside Ball.

ANALYSIS

What the numbers say

A scoring wing with size

Miller's value is three-level perimeter scoring at size — a 6-foot-7 wing with a consistent three-point stroke (around 37%), shot creation, and a ~20-point scoring average, paired with defensive potential. That size-plus-scoring profile makes him Charlotte's long-term scoring wing and co-star alongside Ball.

Efficiency and health

The developmental questions are efficiency and durability — his field-goal percentage has room to rise, and a wrist injury cost him most of 2024-25. But his scoring, size, and pedigree give him a clear star trajectory; his rebound to 65 games and 20 points in 2025-26 shows the profile of a genuine two-way scoring wing.
