Charlotte Hornets sophomore Brandon Miller is super excited about getting to play with a healthy LaMelo Ball this season (dealt with a recurring right ankle problem last year/only appeared in 22 games).

(via Charlotte Hornets):

“Real excited, man. He has the best IQ in the game. I think he’s the best playmaker. He’s going to help us. He’s going to lead. I think that’s all we can ask for him is just his leadership. He knows everybody’s going to follow his lead, we gon’ be right there with him. Everybody looks at him: brother away from home. Without him, it would be different, for sure, as we’ve seen last year. But it’s a new year, I see him doing great things this year, maybe All-Star for him. So I think just rooting for him, always on his team rooting for him.”
