Miller was the second pick in the 2023 NBA Draft out of Alabama.

He finished his rookie year with averages of 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest while shooting 44.0% from the field and 37.3% from the three-point range in 74 games.

If Ball can get healthy, they could form one of the best young duos in the entire NBA.

As for the Hornets, they finished the 2023-24 season as the 13th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 21-61 record.

They missed the 2024 NBA playoffs (and the play-in tournament).

The franchise has been unable to make the postseason since 2016 when star point guard Kemba Walker was still on the roster (eight years ago).
