Charlotte Hornets · 3 notes
Brandon Miller, back from a contusion and growing into Charlotte's number-one option, credited finding what he likes to do and that "the team trusts me to... go out there and perform the way I do." Since defenses won't help off him, they feed Naz Reid in the post often.
Naz Reid is attacking mismatches for Charlotte to collapse defenses, but Hornets coach Charles Lee said after the Oct. 6 preseason loss: "There's times where he sped up and trying to go too far, too fast, and not allowing our spacing to correct around him."
Naz Reid says Charlotte wants an "all-around game" from him: ball handling, scoring, post work, creating, defending. He's "playing a lot more minutes now." He, Dennis Schroder, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen are being put "through the fire" in preseason.
