Hornets' Draft Lottery: Big Men & Wings

It's April 23rd, Charlotte Hornet's news today starts now,

AI powered and ready for kickoff.

Hornet's fans, with the NBA draft lottery locked in,

Charlotte sits pretty at picks 14 and 18.

Mod drafts are buzzing, projecting a mix of big men and wings

to bolster the front court and perimeter.

ESPN seized them grabbing Jading Quaintants from Kentucky at 14,

then co-apete from Arizona, later at 19.

Tankathon flips it with Quaintants first, and a day Mara from Michigan at 18.

Yahoo's mock stands out, pairing a day Mara at 14 to 7 footer

with elite blocking, passing, and soft hands,

perfect for handoffs, with Nate.

Amen.

A 6 foot 10 wing from Tennessee who can handle, shoot, and create.

USA Today goes wing heavy with Karim Lopez from Australia's NBL at 14,

and Alan Gray's from Santa Clara at 18.

These projections highlight Charlotte's need for size and versatility after a rough season,

but reactions vary.

Some love the upside of skilled Biggs, like Mara fitting the offense,

while others question grabbing two centers worried about rotation fit.

Not everyone sold on repeat names, like Quaintants,

who shines blocking shots, but lacks broader production so far.

A few overlooked talents could shake things up too.

Expect these mocks to evolve big time before June,

especially if trades heat up or that 14th pick climbs.

Draftknights always full of surprises for teams like the Hornets,

rebuilding smart.
