Revealed - Brandon Miller Has a Valid Reason For Being "Out of Shape"

Last week ESPN's Jonathan Givony reported that Brandon Miller was "Out of shape" on the "Lowe Post" podcast. However, Givony and ESPN Colleague Jeremy Woo expanded on that reporting today:

Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak is known to place individual team workouts very high up on his priority list when it comes to his decision-making process, and it's unclear what type of workout Miller -- who was recovering at home in Nashville, Tennessee, from mononucleosis while his peers were training for the pre-draft process -- will be able to conduct on his visit to Charlotte. Miller has lost 13 pounds and hasn't had much basketball activity since the season ended, his agent, Wilmer Jackson, told ESPN.

This is important subtext, while Givony's original point of Miller being "Out of shape" is still correct, there is now a clear medical reason and it has little to do with Miller's work ethic. 

This also further cements Givony's earlier comments about Mitch Kupchak and the Hornets placing a high level of importance on Draft workouts.
