San Antonio couldn’t be a better fit for Wembanyama. I would like to take that statement back. Previously in my second mock draft, I claimed Detroit would be the best pairing for Wembanyama’s sake. Additionally, with prospect comparisons, I have included a little taste of every team’s future. For teams with a more content roster, I listed their starting lineup, and just for fun, I included little tidbits for other teams. For rebuilding teams, I listed their core of young players. I have implemented a new twist for the third edition of my mock draft series. He has seen it all and won’t give up until he’s covered in champagne. He is the team’s ultimate teacher (look at MPJ’s defensive strides!) and leader. You can tell that he just cares more than any other coach. Nobody in this league wants to win more than him. I want to give credit to coach Michael Malone. Rex Foster’s NBA Mock Draft 3.0 – Post LotteryĪ quick note about the Nuggets – how awesome is it to see this team finally reach their full potential? Backlashed with an ACL tear, back injuries, small market bias, player frustration, trade rumors, racism, and countless times being doubted in the media, this Nuggets squad has fought through hell to get to where they are now. With this big development, it’s time for another NBA mock Draft. My beloved Denver Nuggets are in their first NBA Finals, and the San Antonio Spurs won the draft rights to Victor Wembanyama. Assuming he stays in the draft, Walsh would be a wise investment for Charlotte - and the perfect defensive prodigy for Steve Clifford.The National Basketball Association has been nothing less than euphoric in the past week, especially for small-market franchises. Walsh was a five-star recruit prior to his one-year stint at Arkansas, where he bought into a reduced role and bolstered the Razorbacks’ defense with ceaseless hustle and razor-sharp instincts. In Jordan Walsh, Charlotte would get a stout defensive wing with a plus-8 wingspan. The transition attack, with Ball lopping passes ahead to the sprinting Henderson, would be must-watch television. He scores prolifically at all three levels and would benefit from Ball’s knack for playmaking. Offensively, Henderson is a deadly slasher who gets into the paint at will. ![]() He’d also be a significant defensive upgrade over Terry Rozier, at least in due time, so Charlotte shouldn’t get caught up in those concerns. Henderson is on the smaller side, but he plays much bigger than his height defensively due to a 6-foot-9 wingspan. There will be understandable trepidation about pairing another ball-handler with LaMelo Ball, but Henderson’s game actually complements Charlotte’s star quite well - and vice versa. 2 prospect on our draft board and he should be the pick for Charlotte. Perfect NBA Draft combinations for the Charlotte Hornets 3. 27 pick has the potential to yield a very solid contributor if they find the right prospect. Washington, and Mark Williams have given them a solid foundation to build upon. The Hornets’ recent draft history is spotty at best but picks like LaMelo Ball, P.J. ![]() ![]() 27 pick courtesy of the Denver Nuggets, giving them the opportunity to add two young contributors to a roster in desperate need of a facelift. 2 pick in a stacked draft.Ĭharlotte also owns the No. On the other hand, it’s hard to complain about the No. On one hand, Victor Wembanyama was oh so close - just out of reach. The 2023 NBA Draft lottery ended with mingled heartbreak and euphoria for fans of the Charlotte Hornets. Here are three prospect combinations they should target. The Charlotte Hornets have two picks in the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft. Mandatory Credit: Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports
