Naz Reid points out Brandon Miller's next step: "His leadership is starting to take shape"

The new player of the Charlotte Hornets, Naz Reid, believes that Brandon Miller is ready to take a significant step forward in his development, especially regarding his leadership within the team. The center thinks the young talent can undergo a transformation similar to Anthony Edwards when he transitioned from his third to fourth year in the NBA.

Reid particularly highlighted Miller's patience and consistency, two qualities he considers essential for the player to take on more responsibilities. “His patience. His consistency. I think his leadership is starting to take shape, and that is important for a young player,” Reid explained.

The interior player knows firsthand what it means to observe the evolution of a young star into a team leader. During his time in Minnesota, Reid shared a locker room with Anthony Edwards and saw how his approach to leadership changed as he advanced in his career.

“I was with Ant [Edwards], and I started to see his change and transformation as he moved from his third year to his fourth year. I believe Brandon can do the same,” stated Reid, making a direct comparison between the two players.

Reid's arrival in Charlotte will also be marked by his intention to help Miller in this process. The player understands that he is not coming to overshadow the young talent but to bring experience and become an important support within a project where Miller and Kon Knueppel are two of the main pieces.

“I think I’m coming here to help. This is his team, his and Kon [Knueppel], and I’m here to help in a significant way,” asserted Reid.

For the new Hornets player, Miller's next step goes beyond just improving his stats or performance on the court. Reid believes that the young player's growth must also include an increased ability to lead the group both on and off the court.

“I think the growth for him would be, as I said, to lead both on and off the court and just be consistent and do the things you preach,” concluded Reid.

Reid's words reflect the expectations surrounding Miller in Charlotte. The player will have to take on more responsibilities within the project, and according to his new teammate's vision, his development as a leader could be as important as his growth as a player.
