No. 11 Charlotte Hornets- Jarrett Allen (Texas, FR, Center)

Big men with potential always make NBA GM’s weak in the knees. Texas center Jarrett Allen has a soft touch, tremendous rebounding skills and an NBA body (6-11, 235, 7’4 wingspan) that will peak any team’s interest far earlier than probably deserving.

In this case, for a team that is in desperate need of a big, the Charlotte Hornets.

Charlotte doesn’t necessarily need a player to come in and make a huge impact immediately, but they kind of can’t miss on this pick either.

Allen would be asked to come in and learn the game, and speed, before being asked to carry any type of significant load.
