Brandon Miller has signed his rookie scale contract with the Hornets, the team announced in a press release.
The No. 2 pick in this year’s draft is eligible to receive 120% of the rookie scale, which would amount to $10.88MM in his first season. He can make more than $49MM on his four-year deal.
Miller earned first team All-America honors during his lone season at Alabama and was named SEC Player of the Year and NABC Freshman of the Year. He led the SEC in scoring at 18.8 PPG, ranked second in three-point percentage at 38.4% and was fourth in rebounding at 8.2 per game.
Miller rose up the draft ranks throughout the college season and was eventually able to surpass G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson for the second overall pick. The Hornets considered both players, but were swayed by Miller’s size and outside shooting, along with his more natural fit alongside LaMelo Ball.
Miller may make his Hornets debut on Monday when the team takes part in the California Classic Summer League.
Should be in jail as an accessory to murder. Doubtful but I hope he flames out before his rookie contract is finished
Do you even know the full story? Millers friend left the the gun in his car and he return it to the rightful owner it definitely is unfortunate what happened but Miller wasn’t at fault.
