LaMelo Ball Gives His Thoughts on Brandon Miller's Fit in Charlotte

One of the best young duos in the league?

LaMelo Ball has spent a lot of time in Charlotte this offseason rehabbing his ankle, working out, and even taking in some of the workouts of some of the top prospects in this year's NBA Draft.

One of those workouts he was in attendance for happened to be the player they took second overall, Brandon Miller. On draft night, he was texting him telling him that he was going to be a Hornet and that there was nothing to worry about.

It turns out, Ball was right and now, the two are set to take the floor together this upcoming season. During his contract extension press conference, LaMelo was asked about his relationship with Miller and what he thinks of his game.

"Having him is definitely great. It's like having a little brother. I think he's a great player too. He's 6'9", can handle the ball, can move, and so, I feel like he's going to fit in perfect. It'll be a great match."

During his lone season at Alabama, Miller emerged as the top offensive player in the country, averaging 18.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 43% from the field and 38% from three. 

With Gordon Hayward entering the final year of his contract, Miller will likely start his career coming off the bench. At some point during next season, I would expect Miller to get slowly integrated into the starting five while Hayward takes more of a backseat as a sixth man.
