Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson & Darius Miles The Players' Tribune

We got one of the league’s young studs in the building this week. The number two pick in last year’s draft, the Hornets’ own Brandon Miller joins Q and D this week on Knuckleheads. The trio takes a look back at Brandon as a three-sport athlete, checking the stats on his pitching and quarterbacking résumés. Brandon discusses his rise during high school and how he considered going overseas instead of to college, as well as just how he dominated at Bama. He also gets into how he feels his rookie year went — and, of course, we got LaMelo stories. Tune in!
