Hornets rookie Brandon Miller on Victor Wembanyama: ‘He’s like an animal’

No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller had big praise for Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama during a recent chat with Paul George.

San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama has already caught the attention of his future NBA advesaries after a brief but memorable stint at Las Vegas Summer League. The 19-year-old showcases his defensive prowess, though his offensive game left a little to be desired. Still, it left little doubt that Wembanyama is poised to be a force in the Association.

Charlotte Hornets rookie Brandon Miller said as such on a recent appearance on the show Podcast P with Paul George. The No. 2 overall pick explained what he saw when he matched up with Wembanyama during a Summer League game in early July. Miller had 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Wembanyama dropped 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 blocks in a Spurs win.

Just seeing Wembanyama in the flesh was much more memorable than any stat line for Miller.
