 Brice Johnson. MJ takes a Tarheel, Brice will be able to step in immediately. This will be an interesting offseason for the Hornets but adding Johnson is a start after averaging 17/10 this past season.

 Richardson gives them depth on the wing as they may lose several key players to free agency (Lin, Batum and Lee).

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

 I’d go with Damian Jones. Hes sort of a project but has a decent upside and could develop into a strong rim-protector which is something this team doesn’t have right now. I’d let big al walk this offseason and focus on resigning batum and lin. 

I don’t really like the idea of drafting ulis  to replace lin because I don’t think you could get away with playing him and walker together for stretches defensively like you could with lin.

[benny15Participant]

 i’ll go with Brice Johnson. originally wanted to go with a combo guard who can help create the way lin did as a secondary play maker, but then batum is on top of their off-season priority list, and no matter who they take here wont replace him if he decides to sign elsewhere, so might as well go with the good local college kid who can be molded into a simillary type of role player as marvin williams was this past season.

I think they would take Baldwin if he falls with lin testing the market and 4 starters that need to be resigned but since he is off this board I am going with Siakam

I don’t think Brice will still be available and despite the unc connection, siakam fits exacly what they need.

darkhorse is Yabusele

 I think Charlotte would draft a player they are sure can contribute immediately and quite frankly after a playoff appearance with basically the whole roster on the open market I would too. Gotta show these guys you are committed to growth and adding to the team.

Caris Levert would be my pick if I was confident he could return and be healthy. Since I’m not and I do not have anyways to gauge how much risk would be associated with picking him I would look elsewhere. They really need a wing and Richardson has proved a few things. He has great size and length for a wing, he is a lights out shooter and a good athlete. Seems like a solid pick at 22.

Although Levert would be very tempting here as another ball handler/playmaker with Kemba and hopefully Batum.

 Brice looks the sort of player MJ and co would draft from this place in the first round as the Hornets are fairly conservative drafters. Jones would also be looked at closely but I’m going with Cheick Diallo for the following reasons-

The Hornets let Biyombo walk last summer and possibly regret it.

Recently drafted bigs Frank the Tank and Cody Zeller are more finesse big man and Diallo gives more energy and defence options.

Al Jefferson is an FA and might move on or the Bobcats may be reluctant to commit him to a long term deal.

Associate Head Coach Pat Ewing is known for being a good developer of big men and a raw prospect like Diallo might be easier for Pat to mould and work with.

You called them the Hornets and Bobcats in the same post.

I’ll go with Richardson. Too many FA wings

 

 

[HitsterParticipant]

I’m always thinking “Remember to put Hornets” but when thinking back about there draft history it goes into Bobcat era and you end up typing it.

 Malachi Richardson.

Not his biggest fan, but he’s got a lot of raw talent at the wing. Great physical tools can help him be a very good defender if he wants to be. His solid handle and ability to create space allows him to get his own shot, but as of now most of those shots are a bad idea, which is his biggest problem. The Potential is there though, and with so many potential departures from CHA on the wing, the positional need makes some sense too.

 Tyler Ulis. If Lin decide to leave Hornets will need another backup PG and Ulis can contribute right away with his playmaking abilities

 Brice Johnson. Have no idea why he didn’t go at 20, but gives them interior depth. Helps that MJ’s alma matter is UNC.

I’m a big fan of the slightly undersized forward. I think he can become a really good player.

In what mold that is, remains to be seen…but I think his game has a lot of potential for growth. He’s got the desire and heart to be great. That’s half of it right there at this point.

Malachi make no sense as hornets looking for player who could contribute and not for a project who at least two years away like Malachi who had 35fg% in college and the worst wing finisher at the rim…

Malachi is the guy in our mock….

In reality…..it seems he’ll be gone and Denzel ain’t going 12th, he could be a fit with Lee/Lin FA uncertainties.

 Yabusele, with big Al may be leaving they will some low post scorer, Yabusele could be like Corliss Williamson, also adding a follo France man could improve the chances to keep Batum…
