Brandon Miller's Extremely Bold Prediction Goes Viral

Can the Charlotte Hornets really win the NBA Finals in Miller's rookie season?

The Charlotte Hornets aren't as bad as the 27-55 record from this past season would indicate. But are they really a contender for the NBA Finals next season?

According to second overall pick, Brandon Miller, he not only believes it, he sees the Hornets winning it all. Shortly after being drafted, Miller made the bold prediction during an interview with Ashley Stroehlein of WCNC Charlotte.

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

In a separate interview with Sirius XM Radio, Miller believes the combination of he and LaMelo Ball will cause problems for opposing teams immediately.

"I think that duo is going to be terrific honestly. His playmaking and my scoring and my ability to guard the basketball. I feel like we're going to win a lot of games this year."

Now, I don't know if Miller truly believes that the Hornets will go to the Finals in his rookie season or if he's just looking to gain some fans but either way, you have to love the confidence from the top draft pick.
