The Charlotte Hornets are expected to host G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson and Alabama standout Brandon Miller for a second round of workouts and interviews Monday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Jonathan Givony.

Outgoing Hornets owner Michael Jordan will apparently be in attendance after not being present for Henderson or Miller's previous visit.

Miller didn't show the same level of intensity and conditioning as Henderson in his initial workout with Charlotte, sources told Givony.

Henderson bypassed the college route, signing a two-year, $1-million deal with the Ignite instead. The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 17.6 points, 6.6 assists, and 5.1 boards over 25 appearances last season.

Meanwhile, Miller bolstered his draft stock with a strong freshman year, posting 18.8 points, 8.2 boards, and 2.1 assists per contest. He won SEC Player of the Year honors and was a consensus second-team All-American.

With Miller leading the way, the Crimson Tide earned the NCAA Tournament's top overall seed for the first time in program history.

Charlotte holds the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft. However, the New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly pursuing a top selection in order to draft Henderson.
