Fans roast Brandon Miller for debut at NBA California Classic: "And he said they're going to Finals"

Brandon Miller of the Charlotte Hornets made his NBA Summer League debut at the California Classic on Monday in Sacramento.

Miller had a good showing with 18 points but committed six turnovers and seven fouls. NBA Twitter had a field day roasting the 2023 No. 2 pick.

Miller ended his first Summer League game with 18 points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal. He shot 5-11 from the field, including 3-7 from beyond the arc. He also went to the free throw line seven times and converted five of them.

However, Miller also had a team-high six turnovers and a game-high seven personal fouls. It should be noted that the NBA Summer League has a foul limit of 10 per game. It's the reason why Miller was not disqualified despite picking up more than six personal fouls.

Fans on social media were just brutal on Brandon Miller. NBA Twitter made fun of his six turnovers and seven personal fouls. One fan even alluded to his comments about leading the Charlotte Hornets to the NBA Finals next season.

The fan said:

"And he said they're going to Finals."

Miller's prediction for the Hornets instantly became viral. Charlotte has a decent roster for next season, but they have not made the playoffs since 2016.

"I see the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA Finals next year," Miller said last week. "Hopefully, we get that big trophy at the end."

One fan thinks that the Hornets are not going to develop Miller and that the Miami Heat should have drafted him:

"The Heat would develop him into a better player. The Hornets will destroy him."

Another fan is not worried about Miller's performance:

"He will be fine he was better in the 2nd half. He showed flashes. I still think he will be an All-Star in this league."

Here are some other reactions to Miller's six-turnover, seven-foul game:

Brandon Miller was honest about feeling nervous ahead of his debut at the 2023 NBA Summer League. Miller told reporters that he just needed time to settle and the team had an overall better second half:

"We got the jitters out, so we're going to be good," Miller said. "I'm a little frustrated because I don't like to lose, but I had fun out there.

"Seeing a different environment from the college experience was fun. I think I was relaxed as far as emotions. Just let the game come to me, make all the right plays and just be there for my teammates."
