Charlotte Hornets
3 top targets: Onyeka Okongwu, Obi Toppin, Precious Achiuwa
It would be quite surprising if the Charlotte Hornets didn’t select a big in the 2020 NBA Draft. Short of one of the unanimous top 7 picks falling, the Hornets will likely be in the running for one of the top 3-4 bigs. If Onyeka Okongwu is still available, he’d almost certainly be the pick. He has the chance to be the best big from the draft.
Obi Toppin is another player that could be in play. Toppin is a great finisher, a great athlete that could develop into a versatile defender, and a player that could come in and play almost immediately.
One other interesting name to keep an eye on is Precious Achiuwa, a prospect that has been quite polarizing. Achiuwa is known as a great defender and great athlete. There are questions about his ability to translate to the NBA game, and his offense is still very much a work-in-progress.
