Who will be voted Rookie Of The Year, Victor Wembanyama or Chet Holmgren? This is the question everyone is asking. Except that they are not the only rookies to shine. In Detroit, Ausar Thompson is the only rookie with a double-double, and Amen’s twin is already one of the best blockers in the NBA. On Charlotte’s side, it’s Brandon Miller who is gaining strength, and last night, against the Knicks, the number 2 in the Draft signed his best game with 29 points on 10 out of 15 shots, including 5 out of 7 from 3-point range.
“My teammates put me in the right positions, encouraged me to take 3-point shots and do it with confidence, to not hesitate to take shots like that in this type of game. My teammates make my confidence grow,” he declared after the meeting. “The most important thing is to learn, to be a sponge at this level. Since I’m a rookie, obviously, I listen to the veterans, it’s a key element when I’m on the field with them. »
A very mature rookie
Already delighted to be able to count on Miles Bridges on the 3/4 positions, Steve Clifford is very satisfied with Miller’s first steps in the NBA. Particularly its maturity.
“He behaves the right way – he works, he trains, he’s very intelligent, he picks things up quickly, he has a great attitude” lists the Hornets coach. “He also has a natural feel for the game. He knows where the ball should go, he shoots when he needs to, he passes when people are unmarked. All the players like to play with him. He’s not like a rookie, and even less like a 21-year-old. He has a very mature game.”
