Brandon Miller has been named the Charlotte Hornets player "who can make the biggest leap."

Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report thinks Miller has the greatest capacity for growth in 2025-26 in Charlotte. 

"Brandon Miller played a different role as a sophomore than he did as a rookie, firing off above-the-break threes at much higher rates, reducing his drives despite playing more minutes on average and generally trying to fit in as a spacing support piece to LaMelo Ball," Hughes wrote. "The counting-stat results were solid, as Miller upped his scoring average from 17.3 to 21.0 points per game, but the gains came at the cost of efficiency. After posting a 55.2 true shooting percentage in 2023-24, Miller slipped to 54.0 percent last year—an expected dip in a higher-usage role. His season ended after just 27 games due to a right wrist injury.

"A projected leap has as much to do with Miller's No. 2-pick pedigree as it does with the intriguing gains he made as a passer and high-volume three-point shooter. Quietly, he upped his assist rate from 11.4 percent to 18.4 percent while adding over 5.0 additional three-point attempts per 100 possessions. The time he spent working on his left hand during last season should result in even more dynamic facilitation, and the extra shooters Charlotte added will give him more breathing room on the perimeter."

Miller played in only 27 games last season. The swingman underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist in January. He averaged 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists while shooting 40.3% from the field, 35.5% from beyond the arc and 86.1% from the free-throw line before going under the knife. 

The Hornets selected Miller with the second overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft out of Alabama. Miller, 22, has career averages of 18.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists in the NBA. 

Charlotte hasn't made the playoffs since 2016. For that drought to end this season, Miller and LaMelo Ball have to stay healthy and put up superstar numbers.
