The drama in the 2023 NBA Draft won’t start with the No. 1 pick — Victor Wembanyama has that sewn up and the Spurs won’t be trading the selection for anything — but rather behind it at No. 2. The debate over Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson has been raging since Miller emerged as an All-American during his lone season at Alabama. More recently, the conversation has reached a fever pitch after the Hornets jumped up into the No. 2 spot on lottery night. Charlotte already has a young star point guard in LaMelo Ball, so adding a dynamite 6-foot-9 wing scorer seems like a no-brainer. On the other hand, there are the off-court concerns with Miller, and he reportedly didn’t interview well at the combine. Meanwhile, Henderson had been the presumed No. 2 pick behind Wembanyama since the draft process started, and he did nothing to dispel that fact with his play for G League Ignite.
