Hornets Trade Ball, Now Bet on Miller

The Hornets stunned the league by trading LaMelo Ball — despite his 72-game milestone and team’s upward momentum — forcing a major rebuild around a new core. With Ball gone, the focus shifts to rising stars like rookie Kon Knueppel or the high-potential Brandon Miller, who’s being groomed as the franchise’s future cornerstone. Miller’s path to stardom hinges on developing strength and ball-handling, but with a potential extension on the table, the Hornets are betting big on him to average 24-25 points and lead the charge.
