Devin Booker. 9. player. 170. <p>I’ve been going through a lot of Hornets stuff, and people seem convinced they’re going to take a power forward.

None of their big men have much range, and between Kemba Walker, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Gerald Henderson and Lance Stephenson there’s no good shooters on this team. Devin Booker has NBA range and he’s big, long, and a good defender.</p><div class=. SG. Kentucky
Nine might be a reach for him, but he’s such a good fit here, and does it really make sense to trade down a few spots? The comparison seems to be Klay Thompson or Gordon Hayward, and even though he isn’t the ball-handler/athlete they are, he’s still very good.
He could be a great 3-and-D wing in this league, and that is exactly what Charlotte needs to get back to their winning ways
