Amari Bailey, Nick Smith and Brandon Miller are the Hornets' recently drafted players who will be participating in Charlotte’s summer league tournaments.

Lots of eyes are on second overall pick Brandon Miller, who finished with a team-high 18 points on 5-of-11 shooting on Monday, five rebounds and three assists in his first professional game.

The rookie had six turnovers and seven fouls (only one in the second half), which he jokingly referenced afterwards:

“I think you get 10 [fouls] in Summer League, so I’m going to try and use all 10. If you get 10, you might as well use all 10.”

The Charlotte Hornets summer league schedule includes a game vs the Warriors on Wednesday at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. The Hornets will look to bounce back from a blowout loss to the Spurs. If they defeat Golden State, they will boost their confidence heading into the Las Vegas Summer League tournament.

Like the Hornets, Golden State is coming off a 100-94 loss to the hometown Sacramento Kings on Monday evening and will aim to earn its first win in the tournament before shifting its attention to Las Vegas. This will be the only game between the two sides unless they reach the championship round in Vegas.

Like the Charlotte Hornets' summer league schedule, the Warriors will play four games against the Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets.
