About this episode
On this episode of Locked On Hornets, Walker Mehl and Doug Brandon take a hard look at the growing concerns around Brandon Miller after a tough stretch of inefficient outings—has fan patience truly run thin, or are expectations simply too high for the Hornets’ leading scorer? Recent performance woes, low shooting percentages, and the looming play-in tournament pressure stir up conversation about Miller’s growth areas, playmaking limitations, and whether health concerns are holding him back. The hosts also examine a glaring trend: Charlotte’s offense has Doug connects questions about Miller’s development to larger worries about whether the team as a whole may have peaked too soon this season. They dissect Hornets trends from the West Coast road trip, debate if the team’s nine-game winning streak set expectations impossibly high, and ponder if an increasingly tough schedule spells trouble for the play-in push. Plus, hear their candid thoughts on what the Hornets must do to adjust against top opponents like Miami, and how the pressure of late-season basketball tests a young core’s mental toughness.
