Did the Hornets Quietly Win the NBA Draft? 👀

The Charlotte Hornets made a significant impact during the draft, securing promising talents such as Coniple at the fourth pick and Liam McNeely at 29. Their selections, including Seion James and Ryan Caulkbrenner, align perfectly with their vision of building around LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. This draft is seen as a turning point, with the organization shifting towards a more competent and competitive team.

With connections to Duke and a focus on local talent, the Hornets are positioned to capitalize on their assets for future trades. These draft choices could signal a new era for the Hornets, as they aim to build a solid foundation and potentially make a big move in the coming years.
