It was the proudest moment of Tom Benson's few weeks as the Hornets' owner. He stood at a podium inside the New Orleans Arena, ready to introduce the team's two first-round draft picks. It would usher in a new era for the franchise, one that looked brighter than ever with the addition of top pick Anthony Davis, No. 10 selection Austin Rivers and, wait, who was that other guy? “I already forgot his name, but he's not here today. But he'll be here,” Benson said. Being overshadowed is nothing new for Darius Miller, whom New Orleans chose in the second round with the No. 46 overall pick.
