Why are NBA fans upset about picking Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson?

2023 Jordan Rising Stars Game: Scoot Henderson

Before Victor Wembanyama blasted onto the scene, Scoot Henderson was the top prospect. Initially playing for the NBA G League Ignite, Henderson was considered to be a future star in the league with his jaw-dropping playing style. He's an explosive guard who resembles the feistiness of Russell Westbrook but with a better jump shot.

Throughout their preparation for the 2023 draft, Henderson and Wembanyama were the talk of the town. While many believe that Brandon Miller is also a talented player, nobody can deny Henderson's basketball prowess. Some fans even believe that if Victor Wembanyama didn't enter the draft this year, Henderson might've been the top pick.

Still, it's no wonder many Charlotte Hornets fans are upset with the organization's pick. They were expecting to have a worthy No. 1 pick contender by their side this season.
