Charlotte Hornets Receive: F/C Bobby Portis, G Grayson Allen, G George Hill
Milwaukee Bucks Receive: G Terry Rozier
Of course, you might be asking yourself a question. Once a team identifies their franchise player, why not rush to surround them with veterans?
For that matter, we’re not saying that’s an unequivocally bad decision, either. There are no hard and fast rules about building an NBA team. If an organization has got its guy, the next steps to take are up to them.
On the other hand, there are benefits to continuing to build through the draft. In doing so, you can see how your players fit while they’re still under rookie contracts. That way, you can test the product before you make a major investment in it.
The Hornets may wish they’d done so. Instead, they put expensive veterans like Gordon Hayward and Rozier around Ball – only to build a mediocre team.
