2024 Fantasy Outlook
Miller finished third in Rookie of the Year voting last season behind phenoms Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren, who both had historically good campaigns. The Alabama product wasn't as prolific but still averaged 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 stocks in 32.2 minutes per game while starting 68 of 74 appearances. Miller was also somewhat efficient for a rookie, posting 44/37/83 shooting splits. The return of a healthy LaMelo Ball will likely mean less usage for Miller on a nightly basis, but a point guard of that caliber should increase the pace and create easier looks for Miller, whose main weakness in category leagues was his field-goal percentage. If Ball gets the Hornets back on track, Miller could be in store for a major breakout as the No. 2 offensive weapon in a high-octane offense. However, there's also a world where Ball gets hurt again, and Miles Bridges maintains a leading role over Miller. As one of the more polarizing players in fantasy this season, managers are better off letting Miller fall to them in the later rounds than selecting him with a middle-round pick. Read Past Outlooks

Undergoes season-ending surgery
The Hornets announced Friday that Miller underwent surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist and will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season.
ANALYSIS
Miller had already been considered out indefinitely due to his wrist injury, but with the second-year wing having since undergone surgery, his sophomore campaign will officially come to an end. As a result of Miller's absence, Cody Martin, Nick Smith and Seth Curry are now all candidates to receive increased playing time moving forward. Though he increased his scoring average from 17.3 points per contest as a rookie in 2023-24 to 21.0 points per game this season, Miller converted on just 40.3 percent of his attempts from the field and 35.5 percent of his attempts from distance.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Miller played his lone college season at Alabama, where he led the Crimson Tide to the No. 1 overall seed in the 2023 NCAA Tournament. In 37 appearances for Alabama, Miller put up 18.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting 38.4 percent from three on 7.5 attempts per game. At the end of the season, Miller was named the SEC Player of the Year, SEC Freshman of the Year, SEC Tournament MVP and a consensus All-American. A scorer who's equally comfortable attacking the rim as he is launching threes, Miller has excellent size at 6-foot-9 with a wingspan approaching seven feet. While he'll need to eventually add weight, Miller is already crafty, using his length and athleticism to get to the hoop and finish over and around defenders. However, his Summer League performances were discouraging. He posted shooting splits of 38/31/78 on his 15.2 points across five appearances and didn't take games over in the way you'd hope from a Top 3 pick. He's expected to start at small forward, but there will be competition for playing time. Charlotte is a team trying to win, and if Gordon Hayward and Miles Bridges are playing well, Miller's playing time could be limited in certain matchups. Preseason will tell us more about how the team intends to use the rookie.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Untouchable in trade talks
The Hornets won't entertain trade offers centered around Miller in the offseason, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac.
ANALYSIS
The Hornets are in the midst of a rebuilding process that is a bit stuck, as they have some talented players on their roster but lack complementary pieces to take the next step. It's unclear if Charlotte will consider offers for LaMelo Ball and Mark Williams, two talented players who are often injured, but it seems Miller is the only one who will be untouchable over the next few months. Miller averaged 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game in his 27 regular-season appearances in 2024-25 before undergoing a season-ending wrist surgery in late January.
