The Charlotte Hornets’ recent NBA Draft pick has left fans and even the team mascot, Hugo the Hornet, in a state of disbelief and disappointment. On what was meant to be a celebratory night, the team’s decision to select Brandon Miller over highly praised prospect Scoot Henderson at the No. 2 overall pick has raised eyebrows and ignited debates among basketball enthusiasts.
Throughout the night, Hugo the Hornet’s visible disappointment was hard to ignore. As the team’s beloved mascot, Hugo’s true feelings couldn’t be contained, reflecting the sentiments of many fans in attendance. The energy in the room quickly shifted from anticipation to confusion and discontent, as the unexpected selection left fans questioning the team’s strategy and vision for the future.
The debate surrounding the Hornets’ No. 2 pick had dominated pre-draft discussions. Trade offers were reportedly on the table, with the New Orleans Pelicans expressing significant interest in Scoot Henderson, even hosting him for a draft visit. However, owner Michael Jordan, in what is likely his final major decision before reducing his stake in the team, ultimately had the final say.
Scoot Henderson, widely regarded as the second-best player in his class, possessed immense potential and had caught the attention of draft scouts. Many believed he would have been an ideal choice for the Hornets. However, the team opted for Brandon Miller, a player considered to be a better fit for their roster.
