He's a career 36% 3pt shooter standing at 6'9 on a team with no one who can score consistently outside of LaMelo/Mann.

He's taking near 11 a game while still maintaining efficiency.


If Brandon Miller isn't taking those shots, who on the Hornets do you want to get those shots?
It’s other shots than 3’s. He chucked 20 3’s to get 30 pts.

it wasnt a very efficient game. I’ve watched harden shoot 20 3’s a couple of times in Houston and everytime he did it was at least 40 pts.

I guess to me a 3pter is just a regular jump shot, come off the screen and shoot, run pick and roll defender doesn't get over shoot. If you can shoot 20 mid range you can shoot 20 3s. (But if you can't shoot you should not be allowed to play)

With what spacing? Diabate has zero range outside of 5 feet and clogs the paint, no chance of driving or cutting

Salaun is shooting garbo from 3, no one is respecting that, so they can sag off and provide help

Micic was their point guard, he can't hit the broad side of the barn and doesn't provide anything

Josh Green only hits shots off an assist. He cannot create for himself, and is only a threat whenever someone better gets penetration and generates an open shot for him


Harden is a complete different player than Miller in an entirely different situation, why even compare lol

No one player should be taking 20 3 pointers in one game unless they’re elite at it. Ain’t nothin elite about Brandon Millers game.

And you prolly criticize Dillon Brooks game but want to ask what’s wrong with Brandon Miller taking 20 3’s in one game? You gotta be trollin. I hope Ja starts taking 15 3’s a game in the near future

You think Miller being 7-19 from 3 is a bigger reason he had an inefficient night than him being 3-11 from 2?

And in general him taking that many 3s is not ideal but Charlotte is missing LaMelo & Bridges right now so Miller is naturally going to get a huge uptick in volume because of that

I'm partially surprised 12.4 is the highest in 30 years given that we've had dribble dribble PnR-mongers in Nash, CP3, Harden, etc in that time period.

Would give Trae more credit but it's still early in the season... and them 4.8 turnovers a game and 39.1% shooting from the field is kinda rough
