Why The Charlotte Hornets Do The Deal
Let’s talk about the NBA draft lottery.
If the Hornets finished with the very worst record in the league, they’d still have a slim chance at landing either Wembanyama or Henderson.
Meanwhile, even if they did land the second pick, they could entertain trading it – LaMelo Ball and Henderson may or may not make sense together.
With that in mind, the odds dictate that the Hornets would likely be selecting one of the lesser prospects. What are the odds that any of them end up being as productive of a player as Towns?
